################### FPS ISSUE ON OLDER CARDS #######################

Game FPS issue with Older ATI and video cards. What we are finding is people have ther AGP Texture setting set to high. You want to have 1/4 of your memory set
1GB=256MB
512=128MB

YOu will find this setting in your BIOS Usually under advanced chipset settings.

################### FPS ISSUE ON OLDER CARDS #######################

 

################### FILE LOCATED \ROOT\UserData\PLAYERNAME\PLAYERNAME.PLR #######################

[ Graphic Options ]

THIS SETTING ALLOWS YOU TO SET YOUR GFX CARD TO AN EVEN LOWER LINEAR SETTING THAT THE GAME GRX SETTINGS DOES NOT ALLOW TO SELECT.
YOU WILL GAIN SOME MAYBE EVEN 10FPS CHANGING TO BILINAEAR FOR YOU PEOPLE WITH OLDER CARDS

Texture Filter="0" // Texture Filtering level: 0 = bilinear, 1 = trilinear, 2 = X2 AF, 3 = X4 AF, 4 = X8 AF, 5 = X16 AF

THESE SETTINGS COCKPIT VIBRATION WILL BE SET TO PERSONAL PREFERENCE. DEFAULT IS 1.0000 YOU CAN RANGE AS HIGH OR LOW AS YOU WANT.

Cockpit Vibration Mult1="0.25000" // Primary vibration multiplier affects eyepoint position (base magnitude is in VEH or cockpit file)

Cockpit Vibration Mult2="0.25000" // Secondary vibration multiplier affects eyepoint orientation (base magnitude is in VEH or cockpit file)

Steering Wheel="2" // 0=moving steering wheel, 1=non-moving steering wheel, 2=no steering wheel (in cockpit only while player-controlled)

HEAD PHYSICS IS HOW MUCH YOUR HEAD WILL MOVE FROM UP AND DOWN WITHIN THE COCKPIT FROM G FORCES. MOST PEOPLE WILL WANT TO HAVE IT SET TO 0.00000 BUT AGAIN THIS ONE IS PERSONAL PREFERENCE. DEFAULT SETTING 1.00000

Head Physics="0.00000" // Fraction of head physics movement applied to cockpit view (position AND rotation)

THIS SETTING ALLOWS YOU TO SEE SPARKS WHEN OTHER CARS TOUCH

Vehicle Sparks="1" // Whether sparks occur from vehicle-to-vehicle collisions

THIS SETTING CAN HELP WITH GARAGE OBJECTS. TURNING DOWN THE DETAIL ON THE GARAGES CAN HELP WITH FPS ALOT IN SOME CASES. TRIAL AND ERROR ON THIS SETTING

Garage Detail="0.40000" // LOD multiplier when vehicle is in garage (0.0-1.0)

BOTH THESE SETTINGS WILL BE A PERSONAL TASTE. IT WILL DO EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS. THE CAR THAT CREATES THE SMOKE/FIRE/SPARKS IT WILL FLOW AROUND THE CAR INSTEAD OF THROUGH IT.

Engine Emitter Flow="1" // Whether engine smoke/flames flow over emitting vehicle
Tire Emitter Flow="1" // Whether tire smoke/dust flow over emitting vehicle
Spark Flow="1" // Add to enable: 1=flow over current 2=flow over other vehicles

IF YOU SET THIS TO YOUR KNOWN LOWEST FPS YOU WILL NEVER GET A JUMP UP OR DOWN IN FPS. THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT SOME PEOPLE WILL LIKE SOME WILL NOT. I KNOKW MAX FPS IS WERE YOU WANT IT. BUT CONSISTANT FPS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT. ALSO NOTE.

Max Framerate="0" // 0 to disable, for regular exe only, see multiplayer.ini for dedicated server framerate

[ Game Options ]

Show Extra Lap="1" // 0 = show laps completed, 1 = show lap you are on

Measurement Units="1" // Units for everything EXCEPT speed (0 = metric, 1 = english/imperial)

Speed Units="0" // 0 = MPH, 1 = KPH

WHAT THIS DOES IS MODIFY'S YOUR RACE LAPS WHEN YOU SET A SCEDULE UP IN YOUR SETUP WHEN YOU HAVE EXTRA FUEL LEFT IN TANK.

Race Stint Offset="1" // Offset each scheduled pitstop in case you want to carry extra fuel

THIS SETTING IS FOR ALL YOUR GEARHEADS OUT THERE THAT WANT TO SEE LBS/SQ/IN SHOWN IN THE BUMP/REBOUND SETTINGS INSTEAD OF JUST A NUMBER.

Damper Units="1" // Display dampers (shocks) in garage as: 0 = setting (e.g. 1-20), 1 = rate (e.g. 1000-9000 N/m/s)

IF YOU ONLY HAVE ONE RFM FILE LIKE I DO. YOU CAN HAVE THIS SET TO 1 SO IT WILL LOOK FOR A SETUP IN YOUR FOLDER TO USE INSTEAD OF THE DEFAULT OF NOTHING.
THERE DOES NEED TO BE SETUPS IN YOUR FOLDER FOR THIS TO WORK I AM STILL NOT SURE IF IT DOES LOOK UP IN OTHER SETUP FOLDERS IT MIGHT.

Find Default Setup="1" // If 1, attempts to ensure player has default setup ... only works well if only one vehicle class in RFM

THIS SETTING IS WHAT SOME ARE USED TO WITH NR2003 WHERE IT SAVES REPLAY TO MEMORY AS THIS STATES IT COULD REDUCE STUDDER. I HAVE NOT SET THIS YET I WILL REPORT BACK ON RESULTS IN FORUM AND EDIT THIS ENTRY AS WELL. ## REPLAYS ARE VERY SMALL IN THIS SIM. ##

Record To Memory="1" // record replays to memory rather than disk (may possibly reduce stuttering, but at your own risk because memory usage will be significant for long races)

USE THIS FOR A HIGHER DETAILED REPLAY WHAT THIS DOES I AM NOT 100% SURE YET

Super Player Replay="1" // record player at higher frequency

THESE 2 SETTINGS ARE GOING TO BE A PERSONAL SETTING. SOME MAY ONLY WANT 1 OTHERS MAY WANT 300 OF EACH SO CONFIG AWAY.

Number Track Replays="50" // how many replays to store for each track (using default naming convention only!)
Number Race Results="10" // how many race results files to store (using default naming convention only!)

THIS SETTING WILL TURN SHOULD TURN OFF THE AUTO SLIP BACK OVER WHEN ON ROOF

Crash Recovery="0" // Artificially keep cars on track or flip cars upright
