The latest Catalyst drivers (3.1) for Radeon video card users are
available at www.ati.com. They fix the road courses not loading issue
with NR2003, at least for me.

Is that the converted add-on RC's or even Sears and Glen, and did they not
load in D3D or OGL?

Thanks for the info in advance!

I've seen some posts on Rage3D stating that they still had the RC issue with
these drivers.

I haven't tried the myself yet but a great resource is the forums on
www.rage3d.com  Best source for ATI information around.

I've been to rage3d a couple of times after buying the Radeon, but must have
overlooked those reports.

Thanks again!

Hard to o'look, Achim - I had to wade thru 14 pages of forum msgs. in re the
Cat 3.1 to confirm the bottom-line suspicion: N2003's road courses still
don't work with the latest ATI drivers. :-\

I've had someone in my German league say he's got no prob with either
Add-ons or original tracks. If this is true and the issue doesn't affect
all, that could indicate that the prob is in the settings of the drivers or
the system, or in the settings of N2003. Tweaktime, guys <g>

No prob for me either.  Here is my settings:

ATI driver:  D3D settings on Quality (slider to full right) except 16x Anios
on performance instead of quality.

NR2003: 1024x768x32 4xFSAA 16x Anios

Draw Distance 100%
View front: 43 cars
View rear: 15 cars

All quality settings on high or extreme and all check boxes checked except
for the last ones (shadows from bldgs/other cars/etc.)

(XP2800+ processor)

Get about 25 fps at the back of a starting grid.  Never drops below 20 fps
but usually around 45 fps.

Good luck!

Hi Tim,

how many fps do you lose like when you're at Michigan in the pits, between
when you're the only car on the track, and when you have 42 AI cars behind
you?

Achim, OK, did a test at Michigan, when I'm the only car on the track, fps
ranges from 40-80 fps.  In the pits as the LAST car of a 43 car field, I get
20 fps.  All with those settings mentioned above.
