Strange car viewing with new carshape

I've installed a 2009 carshape from Marco, but during a race if the other cars a close to my car they appear as expecteted from the new carshape geometry, but the cars that are far from my car appear as the original game carshape.

Can someone explain me the reason ? Do I need to act in a different way to patch GP3 ?

I used car editor 3.7 with GP3 1.13 exe.

Thanks and best regards,
Sergio.

I think you have done everything right!
The fact ist that the graphical engine of gp3 changes all graphics that are far away from your own car to the normal "basic" graphics, in order to to save resources.
So you see the "new" shape if you are dircectly in front or behind another car. those who are far away look like the normal carshape.

You can change the RCR-Distances in GPxPatch/GPxLap, try it out.




Happy racing from Germany !!!

Yes, the only way to solve the problem (you must have a very fast PC, otherwise you can get very high PO, and the game slows down, as Gp3 uses more the processor than the graphic card).
Bye.

Thanks for your suggestion, but unfortunately my PC is a 2.66 GHz P4.

Currently the PO is around 100% or more, so I cannot change the RCR-distances.

I'll continue to use the original carshape.

Best regards,
Sergio.

i think you can increase the RCR up to 10000/12000 with not much issues. i have a p4 3G and havent noticed drastic slowdown. only if you get an universal rain in the first seconds of the race and in the very crowded turns you can see some slowtimes. give it a try anyway and see where you can go
