Hey guys, just wanted to post this to get feedback. It's a split-screen racer using the newton physics plugin. Now, if you've had a chance to check it out, let me know any tips or ideas for speeding up the framerates... on my X800 I'm getting max 15fps, average 10, and it doesn't seem that complicated of a level... By the way, top player uses WASD, bottom uses arrow keys, right mouse button pans cam up/down, mouse wheel zooms in/out. http://digitallyapt.com/files/racing.zipScreenshot: - SV

Thanks for it as contribution! I've heard the collision between two cars with newton physics wouldn't work - your demo proves the opposite! Your roads seem to do the job they should do, but they seemed to change the slope a bit too sharply! Relating FPS: Did you try to switch off the stencil_shadow? Do you use 3D sounds? (They can slow down remarkably!) Another thing is the camera: right in the beginning a street above in the way of your sight to the car! You should trace from the car to the camera to find any obstacles and then set the camera closer to the car! There are tutorials about camera codes around in the community. At least at Grimber's site you should find one.

Cool stuff. Thanks for the contribution. I'm pretty sure that what's slowing your game down is having two newton vehicles at one time. More than one newton vehicle drops the framerate a lot.

free... FREE! Thank you. Yes, this is the right place. How long you are with 3dgs ? I'll download it later (at home have dialup), may be place some screenshots ? P.S. 8 years ago or so, I had split screen racing game (can't remember name), played with my brother, I liked that 'old good time'
