Hmm... You're getting better framerates with a slower machine. Damn...

Hmmm.... I managed a 1:33.xx at Monza on a P-60 system running with the
lowest graphics and 2-3 frames per second....

Hehe.. To me, that's kinda like saying watching the race on TV yesterday
looked like ***'cause it was only running 30fps... I don't get it either!
lol Oh well...

30 fps would be good enough if the games had proper motion blur, like
cinematic film and tv has.

If 24/25/30fps is "enough" is debatable, really, even with stellar
motion-blur. In fast pans everything becomes a blurred mess. Some
IMAX-formats for instance use 60fps. The best would probably be
infinite framerate instead. :)
Besides, if someone thinks that the can't see a difference between 30
and 60fps on the computer, it just tells me that the person in
question has a ***system. :-)
Try this: Set your monitor to like 120Hz refresh rate. Wave your
finger rapidly in front of it. Now do it in front of a lightbulb.
Notice a difference?
Can't do it on my laptop... :-(

I'm not saying I can't see the difference between 30 and 60fps, but in the
heat of racing, someone's car control or lap times aren't as good as they could
be because they're *only* getting 30fps...? Maybe my brain is still wired to
think that 12fps is really, really good! I remember when World Circuit came
out, I was thrilled when I could get 10-12 fps on my 386SX 16 because then it
was "really smooth" lol
By golly, when my buddy got a 486- holy cow--- 50 MHZ!!!! Woah.. It was all
over then.. ICR2 lookout! We finally saw "perfectly smooth" real time display
at what, maybe 20-25 fps? Hehe.. What a fun day that was!
You've got a good point about the motion blur in movies though, I forgot about
that. I'll have to watch Gladiator and see how it looks.

Good point... Will have to watch Gladiator to see how it would look
otherwise. Still though, the line there (for me anyway) is really hazy. 30fps
looks perfectly fluid to me on a computer, even without motion blur. But then
again, I haven't seen higher than that really, so.... ('cept in my sim when
there's no highway or sky, but then, there's nothing to gauge it against
anyway)

I'm not sure how it works (will look into it), but by changing the angle
(opening or closing on a diagonal) it changes the entrance of light into the
camera. Sorry I don't have a better answer but I'll try and find one.
