Two questions: What are Dynamic Lighting and Specular Highlights, which are listed in the graphic option? There's no mention of the effects of these two options in the manual. Second, why are there no mention of the Ferrari car in the accompanied strategy guide written by Steve Smith? Thanks, Ricky
First: dynamic lighting is just that. Dynamic lighting means the light changes as you drive the track. I.e. it's darker in the tunnel at Monaco than outside. Specular highlights refers to the shading of your chassis and tyres, making it seem as if the light in the sim eminates from a source instead of being omnipresent and diffuse. (hope I got that correct) Second: licencing issues. Steve has posted a discussion of the subject on Allison's pages (http://simracing.com/alison/gpl/). Jan. ----
When the guide was written it was not definite that Ferrari would give the go-ahead for the use of the name. -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----
