Knobby Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 (edited) hi all Was thinking about gettin this game but only know some minor details so i got a few questions: What are the system requirements for it to run smoothly? is there body damage? and is there like a forum or something similar to this forum where updates and patches for the game are released? Any help would be nice Cheers Scott Edited April 4, 2005 by knobby_536 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMid Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 http://www.10tacle.com/gtr-game/ and http://www.gtr-game.com/forums/ Also the RSC forums for GTR. I may be selling my copy soon, so I'll keep UKDirters in mind first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scrapman53 Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 My PC is Athlon3200+ with 512mb of memory and a Radeon 9600 graphics card and I have to run the game on low detail. Even at that, sometimes when 1/2 way through a race in the servers my framerate (ctrl f) drops to below 30 frames per sec and it gets a bit jumpy. I've ordered 1gig of memory from Overclockers and next thing is a mid range graphics card (£150 - £200) and it should run sweet with detail turned up to the max. (hopefully lol). Hope this kinda gives you a guideline Pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scrapman53 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Doubling up on my memory seems to have given me an extra 30fps in qualifying online. Spike. Take it easy on the throttle coming out of the bends, these things are hard to tame, lol. In options, turn the brake sensitivity down, they seem to lock up too easy on the default setting. Just a couple of things I've found out m8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 i've found upgrading my puter ie memory from 512mb to 1 gig has made a big difference in fps online and offline,also upgraded graphic card to geforce 6600 gtoc can now play with details on full np spike i've found u need a lot of patience and time playin gtr if u wanna compete with online ther r some fast guys around god knows how they can get under 2.15 at spa,i can't get under 2.20 be prepared for some noobs driving on oppo or stopping car in middle of track,bend,chicane start of races can be a bit of a nightmare if more than 20 in a race,join the simbin forum for info about patches,mods etc see ya around the tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasser233 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 LOL, same here with the 1 gig upgrade coincedently. Got it today (up from 512mb) and it makes a hell of a difference. Spike...Winding the lock down helped me enormously, you need to be matching the revs when downshifting as well otherwise it locks up very easy. Practise online as well, rather than offline so you get a benchmark on times etc Cheers Grasser#233 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick M48 Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 hello all me again i have now sorted my comp i put some more memory on (thanks to chris for the advice) could someone please tell me what the best controller or steering wheel is to use as my joypad (microsoft sidewinder pad i think) is hard to keep the car going in straight line and with all the aids off i cant even pull away from line with out turning the wrong way 13259[/snapback] Glad you got the memory installed ok. I use a sidewinder steering wheel, I've had it for about 3 years or so, does the job for me. The quickest GTR drivers also use pedals so they can feed the power in and brake without locking up, It is a very realistic game and takes time to get the hang of but once you do its brilliant fun.

Guest Trash Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Have to say that as much as I love all things racing in games, I cannot get into GTR at all. I thought that I may get into it (based on everyone else here seeming to like it) but after a few sessions on it, I have consigned it to its box...never to be played again. Off for a few frames of World Championship Snooker 2005...cant handle these big noisy cars anymore! Cheers Trash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The duration of Phase one has not yet been determined, but will allow for all users to get familiar with the options and features on RaceMore. The use of RaceMore will be open to all and we welcome everyone to come and spend time on RaceMore. Should your ambitions with Online Racing be to participate in organized RaceMore competitions and events or race in one of the forthcoming RaceMore leagues, then there will be additional subscription based options available. After Phase one, access to RaceMore servers, statistics and other features of the RaceMore interface will require a subscription fee. RaceMore Phase One will be officially launched on the 1st of May, 2005. Detailed information on how to use the RaceMore system will be released at that time. --------------------------------------- The New Lobby System ==================== 1.400 contains a number of improvements to the Ingame Lobby system. The most significant new feature is the Multiple Chat Room system. Next to the main chat box, you will now see a list of Chat "Rooms". A number of Chat Rooms are created initialy by the central server, these are to allow language specific localisation of the chat sessions. The original single chat room has been replaced by a series of "MAIN" chat rooms, where a MAIN chat exists for each language of the game. Which default MAIN chat room you join at startup depends on the Language installation of your game. E.g. German users will go to "MAIN (GER)" and English users will goto "MAIN (ENG)" You may switch between the chat rooms by selecting them from the room list. Coupled with this is a "Show All" option at the head of the drivers list. With this ON, you will see every user inside the GTR lobby system, users in the same Chat Room as yourself will appear GREEN in the list, everyone else will be Grey. With "Show All" off, you will only see users that are in the same Chat Room as yourself. There is also an option to CREATE a custom Chat Room, and specify a welcome message and a password, for private group chats. Your custom Chat Room will remain active as long as there is a user present in the Chat Room.. The creator of the Chat Room can leave at any time, and the Chat Room will remain active so long as there are active users in the Chat Room. It will be closed down by the Lobby Server system once it has detected the room is no longer in use by ANY users. The Ingame Lobby Driver Lists are now fully sortable. You can sort in order of Player Name or Game Name, to organise the list according to players or which game they are currently racing in. To sort the Driver List, simply click on the Driver List headers. The overal performance of the Lobby System has been dramatically improved. Most noticeable with the population of the Driver and Server lists. --------------------------------------- Vote Booting ============ Players can now vote to kick a player off a dedicated server. Use this carefully ! A couple of restrictions have been placed on the booting system to prevent it from being abused. Each player is allowed to call for ONE vote only per Event( the combination of Practice, Qualification, Warmup, and Race sessions). Even if you leave the server and rejoin, you will not be able to start a KICK PLAYER vote again. There is no restriction on the amount of vote casting (YES/NO). Careful consideration must be made before calling a vote to kick a player. If your vote FAILS, you will not have the option to start a KICK VOTE again. You may want to first discuss the kick vote with other responsible drivers in a game and reach an agreement before the actual vote is started. You will then be safe in the knowledge that your one and only Kick Vote will be passed and the person you want off the track is gone. This measure has been introduced to prevent "flooding" of the kick system, where an abusive driver constantly starts votes after they fail, and to avoid the complication of multiple vote kickings simultaneously. To Start a vote to kick a player, go to the Chat section of the Garage, select that driver in the list, and his name will appear under the KICK option. Select KICK and that will start the vote. Other users can then vote Yes or No in the normal manner. A successful Kick Vote will remain in action for the duration of the current event (the combination of sessions). This means that if a person is voted off a server, they will not be allowed into the same server again until the next event is started (i.e. the Race is over).
