N4: Cause of Massive Frame Rate Drops?

Frame rates plummet when there is a big pile-up on the track... A) I hope this can be patched to some degree. B) has anyone figured out whether it is the video or the CPU (or maybe it's 50-50) taking the hit at this point? Thanks, Marc. -- **************************************************************************** Marc Collins [email hidden] Your mouse has moved.

Same thing happens offline in GPL too, Marc. Must be due to all the AI drivers cursing at each other simultaneously in too many different languages. Or dialects, in N4; ever heard Jeff Burton speak? ;-) SB "Marc Collins" <[email hidden]> wrote... > Frame rates plummet when there is a big pile-up on the track...<

Its the smoke, dirt and damage effect to the cars.

LOL, me being one of the good ole boys from his neck of the woods, it's the fact that he usually has a pinch between his cheeck and gums, a mouthful of marbles and the fact that he's just happy y'all came to visit that he sounds uncomprehendible. Notice that most times he's smiling it gets worse? When he's upset, he's more understandable.

A thing about the marbles, it's a reference to when you have a problem with dry mouth. We used to pick up a few creek pebbles and stick them in our mouth to help with the natural salivation process. Also a quick fix to being thirsty on a hot day. I'm not saying that's what he is doing, but it sounds like it when he talks and look at his jaws most of the time.

I've always contended that the sounded like he "had a mouth full of marbles". Just count me as one those backwoods boys too, lol. edb Peter Walker <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:P_Op6.466$[email hidden]... > A thing about the marbles, it's a reference to when you have a problemwith > dry mouth.

Jeff gave an interview once and that subject was broached. His quick reply was that he grew up in the other end of the house. Dave Henrie wrote:
