I recieved several ICQ messages in reference to what lines I added to the NAS3dfx.EXE -3DFX bat file. Also this addition is not mine,I got it from a post to this newsgroup by a fellow racer named NOS. All I can tell you that once I added the following lines to the autoexe.bat file,then tried the sim again,it was like night and day. Here is exactly what I added: rem N2.bat g: cd\sierra\nascar2 SET N2FXAA=2 SET N3FXFOG=0.00 SET N2FXFOGCOLOR=0a8a8a8 SET N2FXLOAD=0x100000 SET SST_FASTMEM=1 SET SST_FASTPCIRD=1 SET GLIDE_SWAPINTERVAL=0 SET SST_SCREENREFRESH=75 SET SST_RGAMMA=1.10 SET SST_GGAMMA=1.10 SET SST_bGAMMA-1.10 SET SST_GRXCLK=57 NAS3DFX.EXE -3DFX Regards, Joel Willstein ICQ 2690036

Some comments on this batch file: of 2. You won't notice the difference as far is quality is concerned. - Set N2FXFOG (not N3FXFOG!) to 0.1 for a nice and not too irritating fog effect. With this setting buildings and object further away are a bit hazy. Nice. 0.00 doesn't have any effect. - N2FXLOAD: set this to 0x2000000 if you have a normal 3Dfx card (Voodoo 1, 2 Mb texture memory). Your card has the memory, so why not use it? 0x1000000 is for 1 Mb texture memory cards. Now, who has a 1 Mb 3Dfx card? - Test your own gamma settings. On your system (another screen) 1.5 might be better, who knows. Personaly I use the SET_GAMMA setting. No need to set al the RGB colors apart with the same number, is there. - Watch out with that SST_GRXCLK=57 option! Your 3Dfx card gets overclocked with this. Some cards don't like that and may get too hot!!!!!!!! Too end thing up: don't put al these settings in your autoecex.bat! You don't want your computer to start up N2 everytime you turn it on, do you? The SST and GLIDE settings belong in your autoexec.bat. The others should be put in the Nas3Dfx.bat.

One quick addition to the autoexec.bat comment. If you run NROS (which doesn't run a .bat file) you may want to put some of these in your autoexec.bat (not the one that starts the game of course) just so that it is easier when it comes time to run NROS. Also, if I run the N2fxload=(anything) my computer reboots when the game starts. What's that all about?? Thanks, Rick Miller (Arrowhed12)

>Some comments on this batch file: instead >of 2. You won't notice the difference as far is quality is concerned. You won't??? You will start seeing jaggies. Um.. Fog set to 0.0 turns off the fogging effect completely, vastly improving the view IMHO. And it doesn't affect framerate. I can say that I saw no difference when changing this. -- Header intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

I agree 1000%, visually as good as the rendition version with much better frame rate. Do it now! Don
