F12000 graphics

I can't believe the graphics are this bad, there doesn't seem anything very special about the game that needs mega power I'm running with PIII450 two 12mb Voodoo 2 SLI and its awful frame rate, any idea's ?? I'm glad I checked the warez version first shout at me if you like but if a company believes it made a winner it shouldn't mind letting us see a demo first IMHO.

It just needs a little tweaking to get it to run smoothly and look good. Try turning texture to high or med instead of max, and the draw ahead options to med. Switch off shadows(they look silly and blocky), smoke and dust.

I hate to break the news to you, but F1-2000 doesn't support OpenGL. It uses Direct3D.

I tried both my V2 and my main graphics card, a 3dlabs VX1, which uses Opengl. The opengl is much better then the V2 in this sim. I was really surprised that Opengl was that good after it failed so miserably in GPL. I'm now looking forward to more opengl titles. I use the VX1 for my cad program. I keep the V2 for games that use glide. I still use a PII-400 <g> I don't have everything turned on, but it looks fine witht he default setting. A little dark, but other than that, not too bad.

Thanks for "breaking the news". Direct 3D is great then. It surprised me in view of earlier experiences with it. What else does it support?
