1 sec. = 0.7 sec. ( I wish!!!! )

Anyone know how to trick GP3 into thinking that 0.7 sec is a full second? That way GP3 would run at 36fpg instead of 25. I just can't play the thing at 25fps :-( I find graphics very nice but at 25fps it's unplayable 800x600 at 70-100% proc. oc. on celeron464 and v3@175 ). I'm so lucky for being broke for the past few months and unable to upgrade the computer for GP3 :-) I would've killed GC with my bare hands if i had upgraded my computer only to find out that GP3 is still limited at 25fps. I don't have a wheel at the moment and so i tried the game with keyboard worked great in GP2 ) and i can't really evaluate the physics. With no driving aids the game is easy. Maybe this is because it's basically a GP2 and it's not new to me. Lots of understeer! I think that is the reason why GP3 is very easy with keyboard as the back of the car will almost never step out. It's probably a different story with a FF wheel. The first impresion: GP3 is a great game ( maybe even sim ) with a BIG drawback - 25fps limit. Maybe i'll get used to it but i can't imagine being able to make an entry to the corner with graphics doing chop-chop-chop....

I find 25fps just fine, actually the test reults put mine at 23.2 and i have no probs with that Martyn_D Greg Cisko wrote:

How come I knew GP3 was limited to 25 fps as long as 9 months ago. Maybe you should visited some GP3 sites once in a while... I agree that 25 fps isn't enough though.
