After a 100 laps of green flag running Jody takes the win at Iowa. Great race buy the Good Ole Boys Racin\' League. Caution Free Racing at it\'s finest. Ian blowed a tire early and spent the rest of the race trying to catch back up. He would bring his Truck in for a good solid 2nd place finish...
We will be starting up a nascar 2003 season racing cts series in 2 weeks for anyone that would like to run you can just register to the site and show up to run.We will be running the first 2 races on the schedule for fun then the 3rd race will start the points season.Schedule can be found here. http://gobrl.com/viewpage.php?page_id=9 it is called the Saviour-Series on our website see you at the track.....
was a lot of fun last night until a lap car wrecked me while i was leading...but enjoyed racing with the ones that showed up....would like to run again with you guys
No problem . Man oh man it was a great race. I told a couple of trusted people i know Wiley is one of them I have raced with him for a long time. Good guy.
Thanks david sorry I missed it. I hope to be straitened out soon and I will get us a group back in here to race with. Just hang in there guys it's coming back soon.
Here is something I found to help get graphics tolook better with newer cards. Also here is a link you can just put in your info and it will tell you what to change it to and were if your not good at math and the site is still up when I posted this. Just makes it easier than reading through all this and adding it up. Very nice site. http://2fnlowdesi...r/calc.php
If the site above doesn't work continue on here.
N4, 2002 & 2003 Game Tweaks
Open up your C:/papyrus/Nascar4/Nascar2002 or Nascar2003 racing season directory. These ini.file adjustments will work with all three sims. The performance gain hasn't been as great for 2003 as it was for 2002 but it'll still get you some frames. Look for your core.ini and open it with notepad or just by double clicking it. Look for the line that reads,
[FileLRUCache]
Cachesize=4194304
Just put a 1 in front of the number, So it'll read
[FileLRUCache]
Cachesize=14194304
Next, look for the
[Memory]
Maxblocksize=131072
You'll have to calculate the amount of RAM you have. Just multiply your ram by 1024
Example: 512x1024=524288
Then insert that number so it reads,
[Memory]
Maxblocksize=524288
***We have heard that on some computers Nascar 2003 will lockup and/or crash to the desktop when using values above 512 on your ram to configure your [Memory] Maxblocksize .
Save the core.ini file and close it.
Next, open the rend_ogl or the rend_d3d file, Whichever your running the game in, OpenGL or D3D.
look for the line that reads.
TextureSetSize= "????????"
The "number" is what you want to replace. There is a formula for this...
( Mb of video ram) x (1048576) - ( 4 x Screen Width) x ( Screen Height) x PP) Bits Per Pixel, use (2) for 16bit or (4) for 32bit color.
NOTE: 16bit color will be less of a performance hog then 32bit color
HUH! WHAT THE?
I listed the proper settings here, Just look and match up your resolution with your color depth and you'll find the answer to the formula for your TextureSetSize.
32mb video card running in 16bit "Don't even try 32bit, it'll be a waste of your time"
640x480= 31096832
800x600= 29714432
1024x768= 27262974
1152x864= 25591801
1280x960= 23724032
1600x1200= 18194432
64mb video card running in 16bit
1024x768= 60817408
1152x864= 59146240
1280x960= 57278464
1600x1200= 51748864
64mb video card running in 32bit
1024x768= 54525952
1152x864= 51183616
1280x960= 47448064
1600x1200= 56388864
128mb video card running in 16bit "Crank it up"
1024x768= 127926272
1152x864= 126255104
1280x960= 1246387328
1600x1200= 118857728
128mb video card running in 32bit "Crank it up"
1024x768= 121634816
1152x864= 118292480
1280x960= 114556928
1600x1200= 103497728
256mb video card running in 16bit "It'll happen"
1024x768= 262144000
1152x864= 260472832
1280x960= 258605056
1600x1200= 253075456
256mb video card running in 32bit "It'll happen"
1024x768= 255852544
1152x864= 252510208
1280x960= 248774656
1600x1200= 237715456
Then look for the,
AnistropicLevel=8
Change the 8 to a 0
AnistropicLevel=0
Save these changes and close the file.
Then, In your players directory. Open the Player file
Look for the line that reads
[Graphic Opitions]
texture_quality= -1
Change this number to a value between -1 and 100 for a increase in picture quality. This will give some performance hit, but the increase in eyecandy is well worth it.
[Graphic Opitions]
texture_quality= 100
There's a few more general things to keep in mind. The number of cars you draw ahead and behind will affect your FPS. The draw distance and mirror detail will affect FPS along with anisotropic filtering, lightmaps, reflections and shadows from cars or sturctures. Last but not least, Maximum Sounds Played has an effect on FPS. Lowering this to 8 seems to really help on many machines. These changes can be made under your options menu in the sims main menu screen. To tweak the most out of your system you'll want to play around with these settings until your happy with your FPS.
You can also take control of your Virtual memory settings. Under: Settings/Controlpanel/System/Performance/Virtual memory Select "let me Specify" Ignore the Windows warning. Then set your minimum and maximum to the same setting. Let's say, at least 500mb each or if you can spare it 1000mb minimum and maximum. This will prevent your HD from resizing it's memory Swap file during racing and eliminate some stuttering that occurs during game play.It's best to defrag often or even partition your HD with a 1gig partition and assign your virtual memory to that.
