Sometimes when I race the converted Indy for N2, a huge borg-like ship
hovers over the track for the entire race.  

Does anyone know what it is?

Sounds like either:

A) you converted Wing Commander for N2 instead, or
B) it's the IVGA, come to collect your setups, or
C) it's the IRS, checking to see what these mysterious "$500 per month
for Hawaii" bills are all about, or
D) it's I-76, not N2, in which case you've been in front of your
computer for too long!

God Bless,

Maybe it is the Borg collective trying to assimilate your computer.Have
you tried hailing it? Does it respond withthe ole "resistance is futile"
thing ? As long as you you don't threaten it it will ignore you.
Make it so !!!!!
Sorry :) just couldn't help it.
Live long and prosper

I've seen it, too.  It only shows up on cloudy days.  I think it may have
something to do with no "cloudy" sky being in the .dat file(?).  As to just
exactly what's being drawn?  I haven't a clue!

i don't think that anyone has addressed this seriously, but the funny
red white and black graphics that show up as the sky at indy seems to me
to be when the race weather is set to random and it is cloudy at the
track.  You will notice that on sunny days it is not there.  I have been
trying to figure out the problem, just haven't gotten around  to trying
alot of different things to get rid of it.
