Rendition ICR2-3D Turbo Mode

4 posts by 4 people · 29 Jan 1997 - 30 Jan 1997

This doesn't get talked about much, so I figured I'd throw it out here. Turbo mode allows you to run ICR2-3D at 50-60 fps (at least on my P133), albeit with a corresponding compression of real-time (sort of the GP2 slow-motion in reverse ;). Try it, it's fun! But it only works with the Rendition-ready ICR2-3D. Straight from the ICR2-3D README... Alt-T: Timer toggle ('Turbo mode'): When the timer is 'off', the physics runs at the frame rate: it will be slower than reality at less than 30 frames/sec, and faster than reality at greater than 30 frames/sec. Advantage of 'off' is when the timer is on, the frame rate cannot exceed 30 fps. Can cause sound problems, especially in big crashes with lots of smoke and dirt where the frame rate becomes low. Should NOT be used in dual / multiplayer mode. This is a 'for fun / showing off' feature only and comes with no warranties. Before you send me UCE, I know what you're thinking... Did he complain to five or six postmasters last month? Now, you must ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do you, punk?

Guess its kinda like the original Indy 500 Simulation or Test Drive 3 on any Pentium :) -- There is no problem we can't ignore if we really put our minds to it. GO #2! Mullins Motorsports Inc. http://www.***tron.com/~ddmj

Thank you Jeff. The whole time I never read the readme file in Icr3D. Some cool stuff in there. Guess I thought I knew it all. WRONG!! Alt X and ALT W also very COOOOOOOL. Later.
