Hi Everyone I stil seem to be having problems since setting up my Thrustmaster Guilmont Force feedback wheel(Ferrari). For some reason now when racing offline(havent tried online yet) I seem to get dramatic frame drops from time to time despite trying lower resolutions there is still no change. Some times the screen freezes momentarily making racing very dificult. At Monza for example it happens fairly regularly going down main straight past the pits. I tried turning my mirrors off which seemed to help but odviously i need them. Can you alter resolution in mirrors only ? as this might help. It is the same using 3DFX or D3D Hope someone can help Thanks Kev Barnes

I had a 1/2 second pause when leaving the pits at Monza, which went away when I went to 128mb from 64mb. I think 96mb will probably be O.K. too Hope this helps Phillip.. > >
