Question....Was this/is this game optimized for 3DFX/Glide? I'm actually
getting better quality video and equal FPS with my Voodoo II 12 meg add-on
card than my 64 meg GeForce2 GTS!
Has anyone else tried this combonation? vs. say a Voodoo based board?
And... If it is a case of Glide optimization, what about some of the other
older games?

Yes f1rs was made BEFORE the nvidia geforce was on the drawing board.
lots of games of about the same age....N99, Longbow2, etc were coded
primarily for ONLY 3dfx compatibility. However many have added some patches
that improve d3d or opengl performance. This is why I have the
V5 instead of the Geforce...(plus the OLD OLD OLD icr2 tracks that have been
converted to n99 and n3 don't work in 3d mode with nothing BUT 3dfx
cards.)[since I still do a fair bit of racing in the TPTCC pits touring car
league..thats a biggie]

Not intentionally. Plus the game is not a Glide title, just D3D. The general
consensous was that it seemed to work better with a 3dfx chip though.

F1RS is a glide and D3D title.
If the conversation has changed to a different sim from the header, I
apologise <G>
