GPL: The Osterreichring. Another masterpiece.

Simply sensational, Dave Noonan. Take a bow and enjoy the applause. You deserve it. (And doesn't it just make you want to cry when you think that the current 'Ring bears little resemblance to what every 1970's driver considered to be one of the best circuits on the (then) calendar??) -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

Awesome! Great track, great looking, and appears to be very challenging, too. Thanks, Dave! Incredible! Regards, Kurt Steinbock

I'll add my "WOW!" to that. This is a great piece of work Dave. What a thrill to drive. I love the sensation of speed while blasting along those sumptuous flowing curves. It's like Spa but with something to do while you wait for the next corner. :-) Thanks to Dave and the testers for this masterpiece. ...

Track is great but ...... is it just me or is the track a bit more demanding for your PC than the normal tracks? I noticed a serious fall in fps when driving this track (System PII-350, 128MB, V2). Jan.

You're right Jan, this track is more processor intensive, just like the Brands Hatch track. I also noticed that I could only save 9 laps (with 20 cars) to the replay memory, with 128 meg RAM. To compare, at Monza I can save 30 laps to the replay memory. Nevertheless, the Osring is one of my favorite tracks now! Except those two very slow corners near the end, I hate them.

I noticed do degradation at all.....still 35-36fps in 800x600, 17 cars. P-II,450 and V3. A bit of a (normal) drop at the start but, from then on, just the same as any other track. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- > Track is great but ...... is it just me or is the track a bit more demanding for > your PC than the normal tracks?

PII 450, Voodoo II SLI and 1024x800 here. While driving I hardly have any fps drops, but I noticed that the track uses more memory than other tracks (my replay shows fewer laps compared to other tracks) Andre On Thu, 3 Feb 2000 07:40:06 +1100, "Bruce Kennewell" >I noticed do degradation at all.....still 35-36fps in 800x600, 17 cars. >P-II,450 and V3. >A bit of a (normal) drop at the start but, from then on, just the same as >any other track.

PIII-500, Voodoo3 & 800x600, works fine... although again I can't save as much of a replay as I'd like. Main problem at the moment is nailing 1m43 in the Ferrari :-) -- Cheers! Graeme Nash
