F1 2001 GT Mod 2.1 gfx-problem

Some time ago, I installed F12001. I was pretty disappointed in the graphic. Now I have re-installed an old Geforce driver (6.50) for my Geforce 1 DDR, reinstalled f12001...and the original F1 game (with the 1.074 patch) runs allright... Then I installed the GT mod Ver 1., ver 2, and ver 2.1. Now I have some gfx problem again :( The FPS is lower in the GT-game than it is in the F1-game... Just before the start of the race, when the camera is on its way against the front of the cars (the commentators voice: "The sun is shining, the sky's are blue...." ) the FPS is about 5-6 in the GT-mod and about 24-28 in the F1-game. When the red lights are off and cars are running, its almost impossible to drive the car because of this lack of FPS...:( I have done all the right things..:) compared config.ini to configGT.ini, player.plr to each other and so.... My system is Ok for everything else: TBird 1000 - 256 MB Sdram - Geforce 1 32MB DDR, ASUS A7V133 with Raid... Other games running smoothly: CMR1, CMR2, STCC1, STCC2, SCGT, RM, Toca2, GPL,...etc.... Whats wrong, guru's..:)? -- Venlig hilsen / Best regards Thore Sorensen - [email hidden]

It's most likely detail level. Try setting the "other car" detail lower and see if it improves. If it does, but you don't like the disappearing cars that result, do a google search of this newsgroup for David G Fisher's settings for the car .gen files. Actually I think the LOD settings in the GT mod are messed up anyway, try David's suggestions and see how that works for you. "Thore" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

What graphics settings are you using for the other cars? If you are running full detail, change each car's .gen file (lister, 360, 550, porsche996, viper) in the vehicles folder and you'll be ok. Substitute the lines below for the existing ones and you should have better frame rates. All that's really changed is the numbers at the end of each line. <MAX> MeshFile=<1234>va.MTS CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(0.0) LODOut=(40.0) <MAX> MeshFile=<1234>vb.MTS CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(40.0) LODOut=(60.0) <MAX> MeshFile=<1234>vc.MTS CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(60.0) LODOut=(80.0) <MAX> MeshFile=<1234>vd.MTS CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(80.0) LODOut=(200.0) David G Fisher "Thore" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I've also noticed a drop in FPS from 2.0 to 2.1 Not huge, but noticable. Still a superb mod though. James "Haqsau" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a5jod4$7to1o$[email hidden]...
