Torcs Racing Simulator

I was surprised at how well this ran.. nice..
Much better than I remember some time back when I perused it.
I used XFree and NVidia - YMMV

if it requires xfree you need to put that in the info file so people know

Posted by ke4nt1 on Jan. 20 2005,04:42

Done..

I thought that the comment about it being an openGL game
would make it a dead giveaway for requiring XFree .. my bad..

Any sound on this one? I couldn't get any, and couldn't see any options regarding sound.

Hmm.. the sound works on mine..

Doing donuts and 180's drives the dogs crazy!

ke4nt1, why does your desktop have two CPU monitors? And if it's just because.... well.... just because, then why are they different? I can't wait to try and get this game to work at home! I may log onto the IRC channel to get some help with configuring XFree86, but since I already found a XFree86 from somebody running RedHat, or maybe SUSE.... it should only need a couple guides from some of you pros

two CPUs, two CPU monitors

yep..

It's a dual P3 1077MHz Abit VP6 mobo.
1.5GB's ram - 200+GB's HD space.

Old and slow, but runs DSL nicely.

Just tried Torcs again, again got no sound, this time I see a message in the xterm (didn't seem to be a mydsl menu entry for this one) something along the lines of "requires an 8-bit compatable sound card" - any thoughts? I'm using onboard audio on an nForce2 motherboard.

Oh, and a tip to those trying to figure it out, apparently you can change the driver's view by hitting F2 (I couldn't find that info anywhere in the game...)

Old and slow!!!!

I would kill for a rig like that...any dual processor system is sooooo much more responsive as even if the program running isnt SMP capable the loadbalancing featere of having two processors is invaluable!
