No pop-up? I set the graphics option to the max (draw ahead) and still
could see the buildings in T1 pop up as I was driving down the front
straight. One cool thing that could be used is the technology that will
be present in Team Fortress 2: mesh drawing or something. Only the level
of details is affected. Technically, stuff that is far off is drawn with
less details but it doesn't matter cause you're probably not paying as
much attention to it. If it works well, could be fun to see it in racing
sims
