GPL Sears99 problem

by Willard VanderPloe » Wed, 13 Jun 2001 21:01:09

Greetings all;

Our next league event is Sears99.  Ran some laps there last night for the
first time and noticed that after a few laps, I was seeing large tires
(tyres) on the horizon.  Exiting the car and going back in cured it, but
this is no solution during a race of course.

Anyone else have this problem?  Is there a fix?

Willard.

This is probably because Sears uses too much texture memory for your
card (you have a v3 or something like that?).
Install George Smiley's glide wrapper (read instructions carefull
before installing) will solve the problem.

No problem. Be aware though, the glide wrapper has one slight problem:

GPL's menu's become lots smaller. But I prefered that than those
texture problems when I had a v3 card..
