Laguna Seca for GTR is Sweet!!

Just downloaded it today and raced a couple hours with some folks online. This track is something to behold with FSAA turned on... it's just like being there. It's times like this that make me really appreciate my ATI video card... money well spent. And I finally figured out the corkscrew! Spudster.

It's no Bathurst... (But it's close!) ;-)

Bathurst is fun to drive, but it's a particulary good track on which to race. Too many walls in the twisty bits which leaves 1 or 2 good passing spots. Now that I think about it, I guess Laguna is the same way but without the walls.

Sounds great. Can you point to me where i can learn how to run GTR online? "Spudster" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:5zWza.61619$[email hidden]...

Sounds like you have not downloaded GTR yet... get it from www.sbdt.co.uk. Once you have it installed over top of F12k2 you will see the multiplayer setup which shows you online games to join.

1024x768x32 resolution with 2xFSAA and 4xAF... both in performance mode. Detail level is set to "quality". I'm running it on a radeon 9500 o/c to 325/195 and ECS K7S5A with XP 1800+ o/c to 147/147 which gives 2000+ performance. 512MB PC133 SDRAM. Hoping to upgrade soon to a barton 2500+ and DDRam with a radeon 9700... kid will get my old machine ;-) Spudster.

I've driven Bathurst on TOCA so I agree it's pretty amazing and fun. Has it been ported to GTR yet? Spudster. "Internet User" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Not yet, but it is comming, here's a peek... http://www.sbdt.co.uk/forums/index.php?s=0df88ed1e1ede4dce42dd68904abe385 the story and link to pics is most of the way down the screen. dave henrie

Mmm, multiplayer must not be in the "light" interface, the only one I manage to run. Oh well... How good is multiplayer, anyway? (let's say, compared to GPL?) "Spudster" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:VY6Aa.66476$[email hidden]...

THe multiplayer option is up on the arrows that change from a test session to a full race or championship. Just keep cycling through and you'll find the MP section. You may also want to search for F1rst2. A good vroc like utility that removes 'some' of the F1 2k2/mods annoyances. dave henrie

Yikes, something is wrong. I'm getting 40-50 fps with this setup.

I tried 1600x1200 32bit, 16xansi with everything in game set to the maximum. Maybe I should back it down some. :0

what processor and memory? A 9700 should have no problem with it unless it's in an exceptionally slow system.
