Also, the quality of the graphics seem to be a lot better with the voodoo cards. This is not good when someone is right behind you trying to pass. The frame rate will jump up to 36fps, but then the action in the mirrors is very choppy. It is possible to edit the frame rate of the mirrors and is very easy to do in the core.ini folder. The Riva TNT is not optimized for this type of rendering. The problem has to do with the highly detailed rear view mirrors while in cockpit mode. For instance my computer with the Riva TNT could not get only about 22fps while the voodoo 2 on my computer gets a constant 36fps. Unfortunately this mode is not supported by Papyrus.

There is a patch that allows the users to play GPL in OpenGL mode. Most users use 3dfx cards such as voodoo 1, 2, and 3 models. The major graphical disadvantage to the graphics is the fact that GPL is 3dfx and rendition only. They will leave a trail of smoke behind them. You can see cars catch on fire when their engine blows too. If you lock up the tires and skid, when you come around to that part of the track again the skid marks will be there. The game also supports dynamic skid marks. Hitting the F10 button gives the user the choice of cockpit view or behind the car (arcade) view.

While in the cockpit view you will notice that the gauges of the car actually work! The tachometer and oil pressure gauges give feedback to the driver so that the engine can be monitored while racing. These user created cockpits are made in 16 bit colors and look much better. The cockpits are done in 8 bit colors, but there are many updates done by racers on the internet for download. Papyrus has tried to make this a historic game. The items on the side of the road were done with great care to be historic.

The view of the driver from the cockpit even lurches when the car is under full acceleration to give the feeling of the head being whipped back from the acceleration of the car. The realism of speed is achieved very well. Users with slower computers will have to turn some of the graphics off or turn down the sound quality. The Voodoo 1 will allow resolutions of 640×480 and the Voodoo 2 will allow resolutions of 800×600.

100% Hayes compatible modem, 28.8k or fasterĪfter running GPL for over a year I believe the minimum requirements so that one can turn all the graphics on to be a 375mhz computer and a Voodoo 1 or 2 video card.

Here is what Papyrus says are the recommended specs: The only time the framerate drops for me is at the start of a race where there is many AI cars. It allows me to get a constant framerate of 36fps which is the highest the game allows.
