Papyrus Nascar Frame Rate?

I would like to know how I can determine what my frame rate is running in Nascar? I am upgrading my computer and would like to see before and after frame rate changes. Thanks in advance. Dave Stochl
The graphics option screen allows you to set some things to Auto/ON/OFF. Set 1 and only 1 thing (ie pavement) to Auto. Set the minimum frame rate to a high number like 50. Run a race and see if pave is on. Go back and keep dropping the minimum until pave appears. I chose pave because you can keep your eyes on the track. This gives you your framerate for THAT environment. (You get better framerate in Preseason testing than in a 40 car race). If you do this for the new machine you should get a higher framerate. :) Rick

Set all the graphic objects to AUTO and the Minimum Frame Rate to 25. Then reduce the MFR until one or more objects, usually the asphalt texture, start to switch off. Thats your frame rate. -- Chuck Stuart - Mesquite TX USA

No, don't do that. The problem with AUTO is that it take CPU power for it to figure out whether or not it can show the graphics or not. The frame rate you get with auto things turned on will not be the same as if they were just on. -Steve -- ***************************************************************************** Steve Owen "While you sleep, I am plotting world domination." http://members.aol.com/StevenOwen/steve.htm NASCAR, Concerts, Counters & More *****************************************************************************

How about if you ADD a couple to allow for that? Say it kicks in at 22. Would 24 be reasonable? ________ Eldred Pickett I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!?

The best way to do this is to set ONE graphic feature to AUTO and then you'll know the framerate, if you have too many on auto it doesnt work right Trevor Thomas

I agree, but until NCR2 comes out, there's no other way to APPROXIMATE your frame rate. If you have an alterative method, tell us. Otherwise, ... David Martin
Does somebody know where is possible to get more tracks for the nascar game. I have the game, but only 8 tracks is a little poor. And how can I get adjusts for the cars? my fast lap in talladega is over 193 mph, and is impossible for me get more faster. Thanks, Fermin
I know that the actuality is FGP2, but at this moment I can't spend the money at this moment, perhaps some months later...... My questions is if is possible for somebody, to send me some car settings for the different tracks, and also send me the keyboard map, I know the most of the keys, but I have losen the manual,My wife throught it to trash, how the women are, aren't them? Thanks, Fermin

There is/was a Track pack to get more tracks. However, I would suggest holding off buying more tracks. Instead wait until NASCAR2 comes out and spend the money on it. It will have all of the tracks for the 1996 season (excepting Daytona & the Brickyard -- which weren't available for NASCAR 1 either). -- **************************** Michael E.
