Is it me or do the graphics in F12001 look alot better from the chase cam
views than they do in***pit? I have never been that impressed with f12001
graphics, but I have seen some really great screen shots. After loading the
ALMS addon I switched to the chase cam to take a look at the cars and there
was a big differeance in the look of the game. Is there a setting some where
for Ansi-Filtering that I need to turn on?

The***pit view in F1 2001 isn't exactly jaw dropping. GP3's***pit looks
better but it's only visible from one view (sprite based). F1 2001's
***pit is fully 3D and the steering wheel, arms etc. are fully visible from
any position. If you really want to see eye candy, watch the game from the
TV***pit view.

Well its not that big of a deal. As long as its the same all around then its
not something wrong with my system. Thats all I really care about.

There are different LOD multipliers depending on the view you use. The
***pit uses a multiplier of 1, however the swingman view has a multiplier
of 2 which I'm assuming means there is increased detail visible (?). I
suspect this is because the system doesn't need to render as much of the
vehicle in that view, so they can get away with more detail without a FPS
hit.

Also, In the FIA GT Mod, with the***pit view you are looking through the
textured windscreen which is not completely transparent. It is slightly
dirty/foggy. This de-saturates the colours in the track and environment
textures somewhat.

Oh btw, it looks worse when you lower the graphics settings.
