I've missed the boat a little with carsets (and tracks, for that matter). As I have a relatively slow machine (celeron 433, Voodoo 3 2000) I've assumed the 'latest' carsets and tracks will prove detrimental to already average fps's, but I'm still curious. So, I've visited www.gplea.org (God some of those screenshots are lovely! The reflections on that Eagle..), and I've heard mention of 'jf's carsets; are these the yardsticks by which other carsets are compared? The Castle Combe project page (http://www.designerslaboratory.com/gpl/preview.html) has some screenshots with lovely carsets on show...are they either gplea or jf items? Or am I being stupid to think anyone can tell?! Something for me to think about before I finally upgrade this piece of @*$! Jonesy Remove "ANTISPAM" when replying. GPLRANK (F1): +97.58 slowly but surely...

The jfcarset http://qsilver.webmages.com/jfcarset/ is one file that contains all of the best bits that have been made for the cars. It shouldn't affect your frame rate at all because you have the option of loading different levels of detail (especially 2D/3D wheels). Don't forget to make a backup of your cars folder before you install, just in case. Get it. Kev
