Rich, try turning off some of the graphics options. Start with the mirror
options - they're probably the least missed. How's your frame rate on 800x600?

In the friendly corner today, are we ?
Try a lower resolution, reduce the detail slider, remove trackside
objects. This system should be able to do 36 fps without too much
reduction in quality.

jerks/reloads, But I had only 64mb ram now I have 128 and the problem
dissapeared (also 550k6-2). I would have thought 96 would be OK. I agree
with simon unlikely to be the voodoo or the core speed but more like the
wheel or lots of other progs running at the same time. Try shutting
everything non essential down first and then try.

Rich,
Have you got "FIND FAST" in the startup menu?
Have you power management turned on?
Have you got a fixed sized windows swap file (same max and min value)?
Have you got an annoying virus checker switched on?
How you got any other processes running in the background? eg. Norton Utils?
The answer should be No to all of them (although the Swap file one aint too
important)
Hope this helps
Ash

yeah i do, im gonna try it with the other cars (the ones without gplea
gfx) and see what happens. thanks to all who replied apart from 'the
buy a faster pc dumbass' idiot (if he'd read the other replies he'd
know who the idiot was soon enough).
i'll let u all know, thanks again..
Rich
It's not necessarily the V3 that's causing the problem. The USB MSFF wheel
causes this sort of problem. I've also seen people who've had problems like
this from ISDN cards, network cards, USB modems etc etc.
Also make sure you don't have any old glide (glide2x.dll) files in your GPL
directory.
As you said yourself, if the game is running 30 fps, but looks jerky it's
obviously not just the speed of your system.
Have you installed any new GPL cars (like the GPLEA ones) with 3d steering
wheels? They caused problems for me.

I'm also experiencing this same problem. Jerky grafix in GPL
even though the framerate counter remains high. This happens
in all resolution settings. even at the lowest.
system:
P2-400mhz
192mb pc100 ram
v3500tv agp

I think the GPLEA have issued some of their cars without 3D wheels, or you
could just delete all the files in each car directory but the original car
file (brabham.dat, ferrari.dat etc) which will get you back to the original
car. Then at least you'll see if the 3d wheels are the problem. :)

Whoosh, straight over my head. You've totally lost me there... :)

The inference was that, possibly, someone had been a bit of a jerk...

I found out that the graphics get jerky when dropping anything below 36. I
tought this is normal, but when trying the D3D-patch, it was much smoother at
32-35 fps.
My advice: you *have* to get the full 36 fps (drop at the start is excused).
Few things to do:
Get a better CPU
Mirror hack (every 2nd frame)
detail bias slider back to "b"
Hope this helps
