How are fps now?
Sadly, you bought a low end gfx card, a 7600 might have been a much better choice.
As long as you play only lfs and not next gen games you should be fine.
Hi res tracks, skyes, reflections, better brake discs, and some other stuff.
Now, the default pads are red, right?
But it's not the texture, because if i use modded pads they all are somewhere between red and brown...it's a bit annoying!
The FSX demo isn't equipped with the SP1, which is available with the full version.
It brought a TRUELY MASSIVE fps improvement, especcialy to multicore machines.
I simply put in 1st gear and hold down the clutch button...and when the lights go green, i release the clutch and avoid T1 mess...once i gained 10 places because nearly everyone was involved in that accident.
So, here are my first attempts at rendering.
Number 1:
sun-ish lamp, maybe I should use a plane over the car as light emitter, see that shadow in the hood, it's from the left side mirror. http://666kb.com/i/ap8cihwc0fyom1x5t.jpg
