Hey, I'm trying to be just like you, but it's hard, ya know. I meant every
word in my first post.

wow, i wish i could help you, but i dont know why you are having those
problems. it is no surprise at the declining state of the simulator
world with the completely snobbish replies you have gotten, though.

Try turning off the dual core. This has caused problems with
some games. I don't know if there's a patch for GTR to run
with dual core cpus or not. I have a P4EE3.4GHZ with
hyperthreading enabled, and GTR runs just fine.

Here's a sample video:

It's USB. It has worked very well in GPL for over 5 years.

Sounds like you haven't got the "invert" box (at work, so not sure what it's
called in the game) in the FF settnigs screen ticked. GTR should feel a lot
more "attached" than GPL... just don't forget to warm up your brakes or
you'll be in for a surprise at Les Combes. <g>

Nice lap, I may have done that.......once.
I never knew you could cut that busstop so badly....now I do!
Thanks,

It worked on mysystem, with excellent framerates, but, after a month of
rFactor, the GTR demo left me unimpressed; I felt like a spectator.
Could be the dark, sunset settiing. It lacks RF's visceral,
you-are-there feel. However, I've heard GTL ups the ante- if you like
the old cars.
