GPL soundQuality in app.ini

Can someone tell me what are the options and the expected results from this line in the app.ini file? Mine is set to "2" and I have no idea what that means.

If you change it to 0.. you will get lower quality (tho.. I can't tell the diff) and 2 is higher... But if you run 0.. you will get about 5 fps more..!!!! I ran my 200mmx with a Voodoo 1.. at 31 fps.. and was good.. then changed the SoundQuality to = 0.. then got 36 fps solid!!!!! Check it out for the ppl with lower systems.. great for extra FPS...

Putting the setting lower (i.e 0 or 1) increases your framerate. I also haven't noticed much degradation in sound but then I have a lame sound card to start with :-) -- Cheers!

If you have a slower machine Set this value to 0. There is a very slight degradation of quality(almost not noticable) but there is a definate gain in framerate of about 3-5 :-) Mark

The 2 means stereosound if you want better fps than set it to 0 (zero) -- Hans van Dam HotGrid Legends http://www.jvandam.limit.nl/ For an easy recognizable Alfa-Brabham car in replays go here http://www.fan.net.au/~stevephi/overrev/indivcars.htm Marc Collins heeft geschreven in bericht >Can someone tell me what are the options and the expected results from this >line in the app.ini file?

I can definitively state that with Pll 350, voodoo2 SLI, SBLive Value, that altering these settings will make NO DIFFERENCE I got identical framerates in various modes (training, back of grid with 6, 10 and 20 cars, all detail maxed or my online mode with reduced detail, in-car and chase views) and got absolutely the same figures with the Sound Quality set to 0, 1 or 2. So this is only worth doing with a lower specced machine best wisghes to all GPL racers Tim **************************************************************************** > Marc Collins > "They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist---" > General John B.

Yes, and maybe old ISA soundcards. Thanks for the info Tim!! I have the Live also, so your work saves me from having to experiment. :-) --Dave
