It's like what I usually do... It's my system, no doubt. I'm running a P3 1 GHz, 384MB of RAM and a GeForce4 MX 440 video card. I get the same results in Racer under the conditions, and similar results in LFS. That is mainly the reason I brought up the graphic setting complaint. But, day in and day out, as long as I continue to get 25-70 fps in NR2003 ...I'm a happy guy. -Will |

If 1GHz is not enough for a racing sim I always wonder if something is not done wrong. /Andreas -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.

Whereas, the Papyrus engine, although capable of multiple car types, was limited, most likely for performance reasons to at best 3 or at least 1 AI model. Papyrus sims, to date, do not have dynamic weather, depict rainfall, or other imersive cpu intensive features. iRacing so far is 'showing' 3 types of racing, If I recall, they all are either single car type or, if multiple types, very similar in performance. It will be interesting to see how many features iRacing piles on to their core GPL-based code. dave henrie |

> sim I always wonder if something is not done wrong. Its true I haven't optimized the collision detection or the physics at all yet, so the code is putting a huge load on the CPU. There are still many optimizations I can make in many areas of the game and plan to get around to it when time permits. As for now it requires a mid to top end machine, reducing the number of cars in a race also helps.

I almost guessed so. While many new sims simulate a lot of stuff, I sometimes wonder if they don't suffer a bit from the rush that seems to afflict so many other computer games today. Many titles today aren't ready to play when released! I guess a home brew have all the time in the world. So much better! /Andreas -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
