There is a major malfunction with the TIR Demo. Graphics are fine until the green light goes, then the whole thing turns into a slide-show. We're talking ONE frame per 2 Seconds here. I really wanted to see this one too :( -Larry
If you have an MS FFB wheel, it is a bug that has been corrected by the recent patch (for the full version). There are still some frame rate issues with this title, however. Once the physics are tweaked (i.e., all the arcade crap overlay is stripped away), this title has the best driving model since GPL (yes, you read that correctly). Better than F12002, GTR2002, NR2002. Unfortunately, there is no damage and fairly pathetic AI, but as a hot lapper, for non-60's F1 cars, it can't be beat.

Also managed to find that car configurator utility but haven't really gotten into adjusting things yet. Any hints on what to adjust and how much to adjust it? David

Exactly the same thing happened to me after installing the NoCD patch to the retail game. Prior to that NoCD patch, there was no problem (even after applying the "official" TIR patch). Larry wrote:

That's a shame. I hope they release a patch for the demo, because until I can demo it completely I have no intentions of buying it. Considering the MSFFW is the #1 selling FF wheel in the world (according to Microsoft, of course), RazorWorks sure didn't do their homework.

Same problem here - slideshow after the green light...using a LWFF, AthlonXP, GF4Ti, WinXP. I might try it with the keyboard some time to see if it's a controller problem.

i totaly disagree, i try all the physis tweak, try my own tweak with car configurator, and there is no way it's better than GPL, GTR 2002 or LFS.
