Any thoughts on adding/testing the new 144fps patch to the server?

Cheers,

Will

With my 60Hz monitors I prefer 60fps patch. Doesn't matter if I force Vsync off (144fps) or on (60fps), I keep on having this tearing with the 144fps patch. Also GPLRA isn't supported, which is very important for me.

Got it. I only use GPLRA to merge your fast laps with my slow laps to see where I need help, which is pretty much every turn. :cool:

Seriously I just figured 144fps was a step forward in this old sim. I guess not.

Hope the Surfs up next Thur.

Cheers,

Will

As I am not registered with gpl alternative forum, I cannot try the patch.
For sure, changes would have to be made to the dg patch. Presumably the pit stop time would only be about 6s instead of the 15s.
It is also questionable whether my Refuel patch still works properly. If I extend the pit stop time, at the latest, the Refuel Patch would no longer work as it should. A lot of work would be necessary.
For me personally, 60fps works perfectly. I have an nVidea graphics card and a monitor that can't do G_Sync. Presumably the 144fps patch would run smoothly because the framerate would then be greater than the refresh rate of the monitor.
But I don't think there can be any improvement in my case. My eye already sees a good old cinema film at 24 frames per second smoothly. So I personally don't see any need to switch. Also unattractive would be the missing RA reports as Robert already wrote.

I have another problem that is bothering me right now. I can only run 36fps on my monitor with a lot of judder. If I understand correctly, I would need a V_Sync-capable monitor. Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to this when I bought it.
