Ooops I'm stupid! Thanks, mirrors work like a charm now. But graphics
overall are still worse. The groove is unclear and it seems like the start
of it at a braking point has moved further up the track. I'm having a lot of
trouble racing because of that the groove. At Monza for example I miss my
turn in point at ascari and miss my braking point totally at Parabolica.
(some people may have noticed that on VROC :)
I'll put some screenshots from my previous and my new system somewhere on
the net. I'll let you know when I've done that.
