GTR2 PC question
Greetings. I'm trudging my way through the options on this game the best I can, but for the life of me I can't get the dashboard elements (speedometer, tach, etc.) to come on instead of the HUD. I've seen a screen shot of a Porsche with a working dash, so I know it exists. Can someone help?

Check that the resolution you're running is in 32-bit in the GTR2 Configuration program. I believe this issue occurs if you run it in 16-bit mode. I had a similar problem which was solved by doing this.

Hey, while I'm on it...what are the "vertical sync" and "anti-aliasing" features in the config file?

Not entirely sure, i think Anti Aliasing makes all the jagged edges more smoother, so it all looks lush
Takes a bit of a hit on youir FPS i think, i wouldnt know, i hardly notice the difference with it on. |

Vertical Sync prevents "screen tearing"... the phenomenon where your monitor is displaying two (or more) different frames at the same time because the graphics processor is a little behind the action... The down side is that V-Sync forces your monitor to display in fixed increments (I believe it is 30hz), so if things get a little hairy, sometimes it makes your FPS go lower than it would without V-Sync on.
Unless you are incredibly sensitive to video anomolies, I would turn it off if you are not getting the FPS you are looking for... |
