GTR FAQ , as posted in RSC-forums in this thread.
"Hello everyone. I have made a short FAQ list about the new official GTR demo
Hope it can answer fast most of your questions
keep in mind that this is not an official FAQ from SIMBIN.
1. How do I raise my FPS inside the game?
A: There are many ways to do this. Here are some:
Choose a lower resolution
Turn off or lower AA and AF
Select a lower number of visible cars on the screen
Lower the opponents detail from the option menu
Uncheck high resolution car livery
Uncheck high detail wheels
Disable mirrors
Lower FF settings from Full to High
2. How do I use my shifter neutral position?
A: Check "hold button" option in the controller menu.
3. My xxx wheel has no Force feedback.
A: Click on one of the wheels templates on the controller force feedback menu. Choose the one most suitable for you, and don't afraid to experiment with different choices.
4. My gas pedal has a big deadzone, how can I cure it?
A: Assign first the brake pedal axis and then the gas pedal axis.
5. The automatic gears are not changing down.
A: Press the F6 key to enable/disable automatic gears, instead of using the menu option.
6. How can I have a complete grid of only GT or only NGT cars instead of a mixed grid?
A: From the car selection menu, choose GT class or NGT class instead of FULL GRID.
7. I feel the car too understeery and my tire temps are low.
A: Use medium or even soft compound tyres. You can also lower the front antiroll bar to get more front end grip.
8. Game won't even start, or crashes to the desktop. Why?
A1: A small number of users are having problems when "TuneUpUtilities" are installed. We recommend trying to uninstall the program to make the Demo run for now.
A2: Another possible fix is to right click at the GTR.exe file, choose properties and then set the compatibility mode to Windows 2000.
A3: Make sure you have the latest drivers for your motherboard, graphics card and sound card (including VIA drivers if appropriate).
A4: Turn off or lower any overclocking of your CPU or GPU.
A5: Install the game to the default location on your hard drive. I.e. - just answer 'yes' to all install questions.
A6: On some ATI configuration Fast write needs to be set to "ON" instead of "OFF". "... after you activated agp fast writes in bios, you have to activate it in windows in the ati driver (register smartgart), restart will be needed... - DaRaiden-" on some other configs it's the other way around turn Fast Write to "off".
A7: Some system configuration needs the latest Starforce drivers after installing patch 1.2.
9. How can I see the frame rate?
A: Ctrl + F while you're on the track.
10. How do I turn the pit limiter off (aka go faster than 60kms)?
A: Press "L" (default mapping).
11. How do I adjust the POV (Position Of View)?
A: While you're in the cockpit, hold the left mouse button down and move backwards/forwards. Do the same with the right mouse button pressed to adjust seat height.
12. Why do the cars float about sometimes in replays?
A: This happens if you used accelerated time during the period which is being replayed.
13. After installing the patch 1.2 patch, at Spa the track is bleach white and the distant trees are purple!
A : Read this post.
14. I don't get any warnings before scene changes at Spa 24H
A: There is a 10 sec warning displayed as long as you have the default setting for the message center.
15. I have stuttering issues
A: On some systems at the cost of FPS you can change VBSTRATEGY=1 in your config.ini ( edit with notepad) to read VBSTRATEGY=0
16. What and where are the serial numbers?
A1: The cd-key is on page 02 in the manual, left side page, you have to use that to install the game
A2 : The online serial is on the inside of the dvd case, you use this serial for the online lobby
