GPL- Does the smoke in this screenshot look the way it is meant to?

        Looks just like my VD2 at 640X480.  So, I'll assume that it is supposed
to look like that.

I am getting a funny flywire type texture in the smoke effects in GPL
I am running it at 640 x 480 on a Voodoo 1 so I don't expect the world,
but is this how the smoke should look?  The rest of the game looks great,
although i am getting some funny textures in the black area at the top of
the screen on odd occasions.

Of course it's  how it should be :)

It's the famous pink smoke see through a mosquito screen.  It's well known
as a Glide limitation for all the games.  Only thing is to hope for OpenGL
or D3d for future Papyrus titles :)

Yep, that's how the smoke looks on my V2 as well.  Now, it should look
smooth but thats what we are stuck with on the Voodoo 1 and 2.

To anyone who has the V3, is the smoke still the same?

Yep, still the same. Although, you can run at a bit higher resolution
(1024x768) so the mosquito-net effect is not so visible :-)
But the same goes for Voodoo2 too.

  Smoke, Smoke,  you guys are worried about smoke,
But i think he has a bigger problem.
a brief examination of the screenshot also convinced
me his video card is only putting out half the picture...
  I mean...where are the other two wheels?

Yeah, probably just a 16-bit resolution problem (not enough color
resolution, so alpha-ing doesn't work that well).
