Frame rates in NR1999

How do you set the frame rates at the maximum so that it doesn't have to contatntly look like I am driving into nowhere? I want it to where the backgrounds are on all the time. I have everything set to On and not Automatic. No video card, P-166, 48 mb RAM.

No video card? Well no wonder you can't see anything! Seriously though, If you have everything on ON and nothing on automatic it should work... Unless N99 has a feature that does it automagically anyway. If OTOH your talking about the track jumping into view this a limitation of your system, the more cpu speed you have, the father down the track will be drawn. -- -Gunslinger-

With NR99 on a P166 I doubt you can run with everything ON. Turn off grass, asphalt, clouds (keep ON horizon). Look at your "Automatic" settings for Max and Min FPS. Adjust 'em to what you'd be comfortable with (sorry it's vague - I'm at "work"). You also may need to turn OFF billboards and grandstand. "Gunner" ORSA Bronze #78 Navy Dodge truck

It seems that the game engine has a limit; on both my P2 350 overclocked to Matrox Mill G200 8MB, the track itself still has draw-in at a distance...frame rates on both are sky-high, though. -- Kirk Lane ICQ: 28171652 No video card?

I have a P200, as well, but replacing my Mystique/Voodoo1 combo with a Monster Fusion PCI solved all my problems. I'm putting off that CPU upgrade until the end of the year now, it made such a difference.

I believe that is the nature of the game.

I run the same computer....I leave all on except infield and grass. Those I put on auto or off. Cars heard ..I put as low as 3 or 4....Cars drawn...I put somewhere around six to eight and I am able to run with no problem or the tracks dissapearing like u said.
