It's no wonder Papy delayed N3

Ok, maybe it won't be N3 when it finally hits the shelves, but with all this complaining about frame rate using the GPL 1.1 patch, I can only imagine what it would look like here in RAS if we had the once advertised N3 with a 43 car field and GPL physhics. Geez. David Cook

Geez. >David Cook I get the impression people aren't actually reading the threads - they see a few "GPL 1.1 framerate problems" threads, and don't bother to find out that for everybody having problems, there are AT LEAST five people who can say they've seen no framerate hit at all with 1.1. I know I didn't see any difference on my machine - C450 (oc'ed 400), TNT, 256mb, running GPL at 1024X768, Logitech FFW. Rick

I'd say a 1 in 5 or 20% fail rate would put most companies out of business if this was a commercial concern. Mark

Except that complainers always make more noise than happy customers, so it's only the people who are most intent on saying how pleased they are that are trying to counteract the whingers............

On MANY systems there has been no report of frame-rate problems. Keep in mind that different FF wheels use different amounts of CPU time. There's nothing Papy can do about that.

And who says that a frame-rate hit for new force-feedback features is a "failure"? You don-t get something for nothing.

I'd rather have the frame-rate, then a gimmick.

I would rather have consistant and reliable on-line play than FF anyday. Hope you can find someone to race with on VROC that doesn't dissapear on you as you manhandle your FF wheel around a virtual track.. Cheers, Ron

Dang Ron, everyone leaves me behind.... FF or not. I've found v1.1 to be much smoother on-line nevertheless. Jan. ------ >I would rather have consistant and reliable on-line play than FF >anyday.
