CPR demo: two questions

2 posts by 2 people · 09 Nov 1997 - 10 Nov 1997

I finally was able to dl the demo. I have two questions, one which will certainly look familiar: 1) I type "frame" and see a *reading* of about 15-20 fps on my P133/Stealth64 (no 3D card), 640x480, nearly full screen, etc. However, it is choppy as all hell and I'd estimate the real framerate as about TWO. No matter what I try, the framerate at 640x480 (nevermind the counter) is unplayable. Is the framerate counter just completely out of whack? Or do I have a particular setup problem? I've installed it twice. I have visibility at 15. I have it set for fastest graphics. If I turn down to 320x400, it gets playable, but I'd estimate no better than about 12-14 fps with the***pit off. 2) This one will be familiar, and I did check dejanews first: I have CH Pro Pedals. I did read the readme and tried what it said (Win95 lists T1/T2 as not connected). Now I'm asking those who have been at it longer than I. What is the best way to set them up? I also have a GP1, but up to this point I haven't plugged it in. I've just using my CH set: F16 CS, Pro Throttle (not used here), Pro Pedals.

I am sure this is the best you will do. As we have discussed in email, a 3dfx is a must. I read a post from someone who had a 233mhz CPU and rendition. I get far better framerate with my P5-166/3dfx. You are gonna hafta make a move :-) You have no hope with this one without 3dfx. Current Stealth64 drivers are not the answer. I have a Stealth 3D 3000 and there is no way that card is good enough either. It doesn't surprise me that their framerate counter is out of whack either. Don't know about the Pro pedals as I have a T2. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.
