f1rs in Canada?

Hello all, wonder if f1rs is available yet in Canada, specifically in the Toronto area. Also want to know if the sim will work on my 2d card or do I need the 3dfx card? If so which card? Thanks. vcard.vcf < 1K Download

a 3dfx card is only necessary if you want to experience the total package. IMHO it is worth the $150 price. As for which card? I have the Diamond Monster 3D, and use the drivers from www.3dfx.com . This card has been a major boost to my PC *** which includes flightsims. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. >Hello all, wonder if f1rs is available yet in Canada, specifically in >the Toronto area. >Also want to know if the sim will work on my 2d card or do I need the >3dfx card?

Last I heard it's a couple of weeks away from release here. I don't think a 3DFX card is necessary, but you'll be missing certain graphics features without it, mostl;y a frame rate boost. I have a Diamond Monster3D, but any add-on 3DFX card will do. The Canopus Pure 3D gets's the edge though because it has 4mb of texture memory compared to 2mb on the other boards. Don't get a 3DFX Rush board (2s/3d) because they are a little slower and not all 3DFX games will run on it. If you can hold on another couple of months then I would suggest forking out for Voodoo2 (3DFX) as it comes with quite a performancwe boost over the current boards according to preliminary tests. If money is a problem then just get a current 3DFX board because Voodoo2 will probably be about $250.0 U.S., but you can get Voodoo1 for about $150.00 U.S. now. -- Nos http://www.cris.com/~nosfer/index.html

I don't know if you have those stores outside Qubec in Canada. but every Price Costco has it since 2months now in Canada ! They are the only official seller I think for the first two months. That's what a vendor there told me (well there is no vendor but I talked to a guy with a Price Costco uniform ;-) ). 54.95$ CAN. That ain't so bad. And it's so smooth on my PII 266 + Velocity128 AGP. The only flaw is those darn contours I have when it's raining. each sprites has a black contour around it.

Yes it's available in Canada. I picked it up locally (in Winnipeg) a couple of weeks ago and have been enjoying it ever since. Find a store that sells Euro imports as I don't think the North American version has been released yet... >Hello all, wonder if f1rs is available yet in Canada, specifically in >the Toronto area. >Also want to know if the sim will work on my 2d card or do I need the >3dfx card?

Thanks. We have Costco here in Vancouver, but you need a membership and I'm not paying for one for just F1RS. -- Nos http://www.cris.com/~nosfer/index.html

Re: F1RS in Canada It's not around in Vancouver for awhile yet according to the normal retailers. But - www.interactcd.com will be shipping into Canada as soon as available and their shipping it Canada is very reasonable.

Is anyone knows where I can get it in the Toronto area, I try EB and Compucentre but no luck at all

This goes away and the tires look normal when you use the display setting that gives maximum paint-ahead distance, at least on a Voodoo card. Eagle Woman Remove the spam blocker NOSPAM to email me. http://www.nh.ultranet.com/~alison

>This goes away and the tires look normal when you use the display >setting that gives maximum paint-ahead distance, at least on a Voodoo >card. And will the frame-rate still be solid with this setting, on a P200 w/Voodoo? Joe
