Hi, needing a little help here,

Now I have got me FFB Wheel working, one of my Key games "Mercedes-Benz Truck Racing " is being problematical,

very slow frame rate, even taking into account the transmeta crosoe 800mhz running like a slower INTEL CPU, the Radeon 7000 should be enough,

on default settings I have tried all the setup card options for various cards, Rage pro would be the closest to 7000 they have.

parts of the course the frame rate drops to the point of seconds per frame, it's almost playable with the fog set to about 100 meters, so you don't see the next corner.

Any ideas how to make this playable and enjoyable with scenery .

tried different resolutions, not tried it with other trucks to slow it down further

Toca2 Touring Cars and Revolt run well and good frame rates without noticeable stutter, so could be the way the game written.

setup
win98se with directx7 512Mb RAM, 1024 x 768

may be expecting too much, where does the CPU come in against Intel?, PII 166 from what I'm witnessing so far.

I Like Charity Shops, they're like steam and GOG but cheaper.

Windows 7 - HP730 Air cooled, 8Gb, GT1030
Windows 98se - Wyse V10LE 1.2Ghz, 1 Gb, 16Gb SSD
Windows 98se - Compaq Evo 550d SSF, P4 2Ghz, 1Gb, 60Gb(Partitioned)
Dos 6.2 - HP7510 512Mb, 4Gb

Tried on Wyse VX0 800Mhzb win98SE, benchmark runs 28Fps, menus garbage. tried on HP T730 with GT730 windows 7 Embedded 64bit Menus fine but get sky, dashboard numbers but nothing else, Benchmark test failed, Pictures to follow

on the t730, I tried the 3dfx graphic settings on the game with a glide wrapper to work around but the wrapper wouldn't fire up.
