Just finished downloading the demo and thought I would follow up Larry's
earlier enquiry about how the game worked with the 64MB Radeon.
I set the game to run at 1024x768, 32bit colour, D3D, + MS FF wheel set at the
demo's default values.
Everything worked as it should, FPS were between 35-40 in cockpit view with
steering wheel enabled(it's a bit cramped!). The replay was showing FPS between
45-55, for some reason? I don't understand that, but I'm sure someone will
enlighten me. As this is only the demo, I can't say how accurate these figures
will be when I eventually buy the full game and stick a full grid on the track!
I will try the Open GL mode shortly and post my findings later, if anyone is
interested.
But the main thing is, the game looks superb, it hasn't crashed yet, and I
can't wait for it to show up here in merry old England.
P.S I've set the steering to full non-linear. Is this right? It seems awfully
twitchy but it doesn't pull left as much as before.

Quick OpenGL update.
Exactly the same settings as for D3D, and the frame rate goes up to between
50-70 ! I didn't expect that much of an increase. Replay's are between 70-85
FPS.
Seems stable enough, as well. This is looking better all the time.
BTW-I am using the latest beta drivers from ATI (7078).

Thanks nice info. I'm wondering to get RADEON or GeForce2 right now...
Anyway, what cpu are you using with?

No, if you use a wheel you should set it to 90+ linear.

Radeon is cheaper, but is not quite as fast as a Geforce2 and has less
stable drivers.
