Reduced PO from 178 towards 70 with 1 change !!!!

I have all graphics on and set on high level.
Headhaze is disable
Bumpmaptrack is off
Static environnement is on

This i get for result at the start of the brazil track (new one from ricardo)

PO hit: 178 resolution: 1024*768 39 fps



Changing the line in f1graphics.cfg gives me the following result:

PO hit: 70 resolution: 1024*768 39 fps



The line i changed in f1graphics is:

0 ; [RELEASE] Enable 32bit mode if available NB. If Windowed then is forced to desktop format

When its off (0) i get the PO hit of 70 and when its on i get the PO hit of 178. I tested several camera angles, onboard camera's, ... and the PO never goes higher then 80 during the race switching to different camera's with res 1024*768 at 39 fps !!!

I hope this works for all of you that have poor graphics and big PO Hit!!!

Math, you just had to read the list huh? :P

Notice Senna is last!!!!

Oh great, you switched to 16bit mode...

Apart from the fact that it looks ass (65536 colors instead of 16mil) you won't have any bumpmapping and some car's textures won't work with it (like fongu/ross's minardi and arrows).

But with your washed out gamma settings you probably won't even notice.

Take it easy,

my cars work fine on 32bit textures, in fact its only the bridgestone tyre walls that dont work on mine :/

I tried this and all of asudden all my pitcrew's have gone on vacation!!!!.Anyone know how to get them back?
They we're there before i messed with the f1graphics.cfg and now they won't come back when i change it back.

noo, mountain 66 - that happened to me too, but nnot because oof that (i haven't done that as it seems a bit silly). Your marshals will have gone too.

What you need to do is calibrate GP4 again and save the state when you leave the game - even if you are using a cfg, do this. This will give you pitcreews again and marshalls hopefully. However, you may/will get a PO hit from marshalls and pit crew.

lol, I've tried to change that line, and now I get white cars :P

Thanks alot Daniel Knott that did it.I really didnt have to fiddle with this because my PO is OK(40-60)so i have to write my self a note never to do that again.

strange that the cars are white, i only use hi res textures and lod 0 and when i changed it the cars are just fine!

I use hi-res texs as well, but I use all the lods, so I dunno if it may have something to do with it :s
