Nascar 2003: Bottoming Out OPENGL vs D3D

Patch Fixers: When you fix the game, make sure you can fix the bottoming out problem. Same setup in two different graphics modes.. One bottoms out and the others one doesnt. that to me sounds like a graphics engine and FPS problem! No way I can think of that a graphics engine in the game should change the Physics... DW Thanks Jimmy!

Which one bottoms out? Strange you would mention it, I always thougth the car was running a bit too low visually (I run in Open GL only and the front end "merges" with the pavement from time to time... doesn't have any impact except it looks strange). I really only noticed it to the point it bothered me a bit, tonight. Buy the same token, would running D3D over Open GL (or vice versa) give a driver some sort of advantage? -- Philippe "Philster" Sergerie "Don Wilshe" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:i_2ia.89046$[email hidden]... > Patch Fixers: > > When you fix the game, make sure you can fix the bottoming out problem. > Same setup in two different graphics > modes..

I don't think so. It's just April fools day ;-) "Philster" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:hf7ia.48212$[email hidden]... > Which one bottoms out?

this question was asked of the jasper engineer who advised on the game, his response was something along the lines of 'at alot of tracks we run so low the the body shells do rub the track in the turns, and it tends not to affect the handling whatsoever.' pez "Philster" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:hf7ia.48212$[email hidden]... > Which one bottoms out?

Alex, what does 'dragging the chassis' mean?
