-- I never bothered doing the calculation, but the screen resolution is 800x450 and thus has an aspect ratio of 16:9. Could they be possibly supporting 16:9 video modes now? Maybe it is time to save on that Sony GDM-W900. :-) GM

Hi, Pretty cool! 2 things I noticed: 1) The nice shadows, on the 12 car and under the 83 2) The spring adjustment on the lf tire of the 83, it looks like it is kind of hanging down due to the fact that the car is in the air! Later, John

Wow! Now that's a bit more like it. Full tumble, spectacular crashes (not that I ever crash of course) and by the looks of it, much more detailed car models. One thing though, how fast would GPL run with 40 cars? Will N4 be the same?

Isn't GPL letterboxed as well (16:9)? It makes sense that this would maintain the same aspect if it's using the same code.

Flipping cars is cool and about time I might add. Imagine what multiplayer races are going to be like. There are going to be cars flying everywhere. I am mostly impressed with the car model. It has many more curves than N3 does and it actually looks like on the real WC cars. I am not familiar with GP Legends so I have no expectations of how the physics will feel. But I can say that I am not too fond of how it feels in N3 and never have been since the series Nascar Racing series started. So my guess is it can only get better. I am very excited about this sim. I bet it is going to be dangerously addictive. I hope the system requirements are not too steep. However, I am sure I will need to upgrade my P2 400 before then. That which, I plan to do anyway.

When you're driving in GPL, yes it is letterboxed, or matted widescreen. What I would like to see is full use of a widescreen monitor, that is 16:9 aspect ratio screen resolution without the black borders.

You know what i just thought of. N4 might just turn into GPL for online caos all the time cars fliping every where. Crazy thoughts I think.

No, that at least shouldn't be a problem. But get ready for the Letterbox treatment of GPL to make it's way into Nascar. Your screen will be 1024x768 but the viewable area will probably be that 800x450 scale. Just, as usual, guess tho What you may need is one very serious cpu upgrade tho if you expect to run full fields and show a lot of visual graphics. dave henrie Martyn Danby wrote:

The problem is: Do you really want to play your sim on the TV ? I have a 32" Sony Widescreen, and although it is super for DVD-movies, wouldn't a sim be too pixelated. Maybe FSAA would do wonders...

I've got the exact same system (21" Trinitron, 64MB Geforce, etc), but I went with the P3-866 and saved about $1000. Thought I might try overclocking it to a Ghz, but the pro overclockers have advised me against it. Pretty darn fast. We'll see if by November the GForce DDR can still perform as well with N4. Right now it does great with GPL. 1280x1024 @ 100Hz on Win2K with the 5.14 drivers... --David Cook In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] wrote...
