fired it up to see how it would work. I couldn't believe how strange it
looked. I was at Monaco and was seeing strange textures on the road
surface, bricks in the walls, all sorts of stuff. It was distracting as
hell! Was this a Voodoo 3 driver problem or something?
I finally realized what it was. On my old PII-233 (later 333), to get
36fps I had turned off virtually EVERYTHING in the graphic options
screen -- all the textures, arms, beveled tires, etc. However, with a
fresh install, everything was turned on. Later, I copied my entire GPL
directory tree over the network from the old PC so that I would get the
1.2 GPL version, all my tracks and setups, etc. This also restored my
old graphics options. Now I'm wondering if, even with the processor h/p
to handle it, I should turn some stuff back on. I'm so used to
the "plain" graphics that I'm not sure that I can handle all that eye
candy.
