GPL......Man oh man

Ive had GPL for some time now, but the true sim wasnt clear to me on my P 166 with that awesome 2 meg video card.... Not untill I setup my new PII System.........oh how sweet 35 fps with all graphics look. I feel I never played it before as this is a TOTALLY new experiece for me. Papy has out done them selves with this baby. I pity the fools who have yet to purchase this.....WOW JT

Yeah.. Turn on some AI and watch your framerates go to nothing. Got to give it to them, they kept that old Nascar engine going for a long time now.

Isn't GPL's GFX locked at 30 FPS ?? I have a PII 450 with 2xDiamond Voodoo2 in SLI and the most i get in ANY resolution is 30 FPS and thats with 7 or 8 AI drivers. Like this guy said, bump up the AI drivers numbers and down the tubes goes the FPS Cheers Christo

Odd, I have two machines, a P2 450 w/ 2-12meg V2s and a Celeron o/c'd to 450 with a STB 4400 TNT and one 12meg V2. I run with all graphics on the P2 450, 19 drivers, and whenever I check both are bouncing at 35.xx FPS. On the celeron I have some of the "mirror" options turned off, but thats it...

: Yeah.. : Turn on some AI and watch your framerates go to nothing. : Got to give it to them, they kept that old Nascar engine going for a long : time now. Um. for you maybe, but for me I can run with a full field with FULL graphic detail and only lose frames on the start. Even then, it is only at 25-30 for a few seconds. Then it shoots back up to 35-36. It is so different from the "Nascar engine" you refer to, it makes me think you have never even TRIED GPL. Give it a shot sometime. You might like it. Yutz, J.

I'm sorry to say that it must be your configuration. My new PII 450 with one 12MB Diamond Voodoo II runs at 36 fps, except at the start (back of fps with 24 fps at the BOG. That's without trying the tip from rrevved. I'm off to try it now... Thanks rrevved! -- Rob. >On Wed, 18 Nov 1998 09:44:56 +0200, >>Isn't GPL's GFX locked at 30 FPS ??
