Horrible FPS
The Architect
S2 licensed
When I'm playing alone, I'm getting around 10-15 fps instead of my average 30. When on a crowded server, I can get around 1-10 fps. I ran a scan and my computer came clean, but ads still come up (but in IE instead of Firefox). Also, I'm running patch W, so I don't think it's the game's problem, but my computer's problem. What could be robbing my power?

Also, here are my specs:

Pentium 4 1.6 GHz
nVidia GeForce 2 MX100/200
512 RAM
Unsure about my motherboard, though

New car classes:

STD1: UF1 and a new car, a 40hp RR similar to the Fiat 500, called NF5.
P1: A Radical-type car called R130, using a 1.3 liter bike engine and an Ariel Atom-like car called A30, using a 300hp turbocharged 2.0 liter engine.
P2: A LMP car with a gasoline 3.0 V12, and a 5.5 diesel similar to the Audi R10.
GTR4: The same as standard 1, but with the new NFV and renamed UFV. the NFV has a 1.0 liter four cylinder producing 160 hp.
GTR3: Same as the standard 2, but with the new XRS and renamed XFS. The XRS has a 1.8 liter NA engine producing 225 hp. It looks similar to the XRT, but with eight-spoke wheels.
GTR2: Same as TBO class, but with the new RBR and XRR and FXR. All the cars have about 300hp.
GTR1: Same as LRF class, but with the new LXRS and RARS and renamed FZRS. The LXRS has a 2.0 liter V8 engine made from two 1.0 liter bike engines producing 360hp, and the RARS employs a bored 2.2 liter twin-turbo engine producing 420hp.

Arrow UF1 Skin Request
The Architect
S2 licensed
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could do a UF1 skin that is mainly red, with white or silver arrows down the side. I would like them going forward, so their facing the way the car is driving (if it's in a forward gear). I'd also like them on the roof, and the hood, which are also facing forward. They would look like arrows on a ramp. I'd prefer someone experienced to do it, but I'll accept most skins. If you feel like it, you can also make it yellow with black arrows, but I don't care.

Thank you for taking your time to read my request.

At the start, I take it very lightly, as I usually only get 5-10 FPS at the grid, even against one person. Then, when it spaces out, I take the turns very smoothly, but when I start to oversteer, I tend to jerk the wheel.

I always use 42.

Quote from tristancliffe :That wing is rice, 100%. Just because a manufacturer decides to fit it doesn't make it any less ricey.

Can you point me to where Mercedes have published figures for the car with and without the wing. Otherwise, how do you know it actually does anything? Isn't it possible it was fitted to sell more cars to yuppies (the only people who buy Mercs) who think big wing must translate to big testicles?

Read last paragraph plox.

Yes, police lightbars. Sorry for not clarifying that in the first place.
Lightbar?

Hi, I was wondering if there are any lightbar DDS files, I don't care if they work or not - I just want it to be there.

My favorite car right now is the FZR. Even though it's rear engined, I find it the easiest to drive of all the GTR cars, and the open wheelers don't appeal to me right now. Of the road cars, the RAC is my favorite. It's great fun. Both of the FWD GTRs also are great fun to drive as well.

I agree totally. I was on a server (I won't mention which one) where some guy was smart enough to yell BLUE FLAG three times or so, and then he bumped me. Mind you, this wasn't on a straight, this was a narrow chicane. If it was a hairpin, I'd be even more pissed.

Probably only a few hundred miles, but I'm still 7 seconds off the WR for the XFG. I tend to avoid the XRT for it's rather twitchy handling. Either I plow into the fields or I end up facing the wrong way.

Quote from hardys100 :I really do feel that we need more SUV's like all the cars seem really nice and fast but if we had more bigger and better cars would be really awsum even if a landrover or what ever off roader for rally-cross or what ever that would be awsome.

If you used them for rally cross, they'd tip over. If you used them on tarmac, they'd be sluggish. And still probably tip over. I'd much rather use them to punish bad Civics.

Quote from Jakg :i think he ment "i dont have any money" as in im poor

Not that that washes with me seeing as you have the net and a pc, but still!

What I meant was that I don't have access to PayPal, Bank Accounts (my mom wouldn't even let me in my own!) or money order. But I have made a deal with my mom so that I can get it for my birthday, so I have hope.

besides, some people can't get S2 no matter what (no access to money)

PS. I'm not really sure where this question goes, so I'll put it here because I find it fitting.

Lately, I've seen a lot of people driving without their helmets or suits. Is this built in the game, or is it a downloadable skin? If it's already in the game, where do I find it, and how do I use it as a skin? If it's downloadable, where do I download it?

Thanks in advance.

I probably have to wait until my birthday until I can get S2, and that's in November...


PS. Unless one of you buys it for my birthday

Maybe there should be a 4WD version of the XR, considering how remarkable close the XR series looks like a Starion. It should have an even larger engine, maybe a 2.2 liter. A larger turbo and maybe anti-lag should be in there too.

Quote from LawVS :Right - my first public skin.

This is the skin that BP would run (in my eyes) on a car similar to the XRR. It's similar to the BP livery on the Ford WRC car in terms of colours and schematics to some extent. But anyways, enjoy and feel free to use it!

P.S: Thanks to Munko for the awesome mouse drifting screenshot (before he crashed---horribly! ;D )

Actually, a person in the D1GP ran something similar (eg. sponsored by BP) to this in 2003. You can find it in the latest installment of the GT series.
