GPL: The only sim we ever need...PII 300-V2

How can i ever go back playing F1RS, Gp2 , N2 .. Now that Ive tasted the "feeling" of real driving. I have never EVER experienced this kind of thrill in a diving sim !!! The way the car respnds to my T2 is just exacly the way i expect it to do. :) The framerates on my PII300 Voodoo2 64meg ram machine, just flies in 800x600...(exept in the last right turn) (BTW. can anyone help me out?...im driving in "16:9" format on screen) This is THE racing sim.

Thomas, the sim also flies on a P2/300 V1, I too can vouch for that. As for the widescreen view, that's the way it's supposed to be. If you go into the options.ini you will see it is set to fill the whole screen, it just uses black bars at the top and bottom. Exactly like widescreen movies on a 4:3 TV set. I like the effect alot, I feel it allows you to see more of the sides of the track than if Papy had tried to use the normal full screen viewing angle. Less of a tunnel vision effect. In fact I kinda hope it catches on and they use it for N3. All the best, Mike -- Michael S.

Brilliant demo! (Hard to believe they class it 'pre-alpha' considering some of the 'full' demos that are released). However, I'd have to say that on a PII 266 (64 Mb RAM + R3D) the game flies in 640 x 480 (esp. in the GP car but seems somewhat pedestrian in the 800 x 600 mode) - IMHO Regards DM ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To reply remove < .nospam > from my e-mail address ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- "Black holes are where God divided by zero."
