Hotcakes

I'm all for improvements, but I don't think we have any problems with the way BMax is doing things now. I had many problems with B3D. I much prefer to set my game to run at one speed and let Blitz sort out the choppiness for me (which from what I can tell is working fairly well). Seems to me setting the refresh rate in the Graphics command to 85 or so will get good results on most machines - people who can't view at 85 will have a lower refresh rate but the game will still run at 85 fps internally... I think 75 is a safe minimum for most machines, altho if you want ultra smoothness, just set it to like 150 or 300 or so and use the 'logic overkill' method. If the CPU can handle it you'll get beautiful updates no matter the refresh rate then.
