GP3: HW or SW?

Forgive me being a little dense, but as my GP3 disc is sitting around doing nothing, I thought I'd try the CART tracks from alpha-f1. To get the new tracks, I can either download the software version, or the hardware....what's the difference, please? -- Colin ICQ 25485061 Fast Food Racing: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/fastfood/index.html FFRL: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/fastfood/ffrl/index.html

Colin, when you run GP3, check in your graphics setup whether it says you are using software or hardware rendering. Whichever it is, you'll need to download the appropriate version of the track ie, for software rendering use the software version. At least thats how I understand it. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> Colin Harris wrote > Forgive me being a little dense, but as my GP3 disc is sitting around doing > nothing, I thought I'd try the CART tracks from alpha-f1.

The hardware rendering version requires a 3D card and uses the hardware 3D. The software rendering can be done with only a 2D card, ALA GP2.

Thanks to you both! I'll just go and re-download 'em all, then.... *sigh* :-)

I'm quite sure those are better than the software versions. But what the actual difference is.. no idea :) Elkhart lake is great fun btw in gp3. Andre
