I think he meant in the showroom. A mouse has that scrolling button in the middle. Hold it and drag the way you want.

Also, anyone know what this is?

Yes I know what that is. It means that you're hiding 1 or more shops and/or races at your mini map. Watch this screenshot:

You see a red cross in front of 'Car Lot'. If you look at the map next to it, you can see that the light blue dot, which indicates the car lot, has disappeared. When you click the cross it will be normal again.

hey you guyz!
I just played the demo, and I must say, It's damn sweet!

I'm also reading your posts, and I can't believe you get such slow performance....
I got a p4 2.4, ASUS mainboard, 512DDR 266, and MSI GeForce 5600 VTDR (two 400MHz RAMDACs), and the demo is just FLYING!!

anyways, I'm very aware that this is a demo and alot of things are missing, but you gotta admit that it's pretty damn great!

awayting full version!
Cheers!

guess what i just realized.....I HATE FRAPS!!!! i ended up NOT running fraps for the first time in days when playing the demo and i dont notice ANY chugging.....i dont know whether that means that fraps was actually slowing the game down or what, plus i ended up turning more things up lol.

Yeah, but what amount of detail did you put it up to and what resolution?
It's kind of weird seeing a Romanian with a such good computer. Usually, computers are very expensive there. :P

My settings are 1024x768 resolution, everything up, except the road reflection (i hate that), light trails, and motion blur.

And yea, the computers here are quite expensive... my computer summed up to about $1000. But I can't complain :)

best card for the $ right now is the 6800nu (non-ultra) you can get a bfg 6800 oc at outpost.com for 250, dunno if they're in stock right now though.....if not wait for the 6600gt agp version coming out late november at 199$. will crush any of yesterdays cards (including 9800xt and 5950 ultra).

EDIT: btw the 5700 ultra is a decent card but the 5900xt for around the same price is about 50% better.....just to let you know.....
