I said earlier that Speedrun.com's current "rule" that allows you to turn off the frame limiter in Racing missions = Idiotic rule. Well, here's another proof why

In freaking 2022 I am forced to film my screen with an external camera... Because even at Super Low GTA SA graphics settings and Very Low video capture settings - on my weak PC frame rate of the game is still not high enough

While specifically in this race (as, by the way, in SEVERAL other IL races) even 0.05 seconds Matter. And 0.1 seconds is already a SIGNIFICANT gap

. . .

0:20.475 - the appearance of "GO!"

Finish of the race has 2 timings, apparently due to the fact that frame rate of video recording from external camera is 3-4 times less than the frame rate of GTA SA

02:46.925 - first frame where the signs of the race finish are clearly visible 02:46.975 - first frame with full finish of the race

NONE of these finish timings can be used to determine True finish of the race. Because 02:46.925 is too early, and 02:46.975 is too late. In THIS case (2 finish timings with 1 start timing) - the most accurate True finish timing will be the arithmetic average of 2 finish timings

So crossing the finish checkpoint = (02:46.925 + 02:46.975) : 2 = 02:46.950

02:46.950 - 0:20.475 = 02:26.475

mod note: Frame duplication is normal, the reason is not in the external camera, in the game. I still haven't seen a single run where frames were not duplicated.
