You are correct about Block Transfer Mode. It is under the Buffer flipping
mode of the Blaster Control Tweak options. Once on Tweak, click on Advance
and select Open GL tab. The option is about half way down the page. This
WILL solve the flickering in the mirrors.

Has anyone managed to get the mirrors in GPL to work correctly with Papy's
OpenGL patch? I'm using a Creative Labs Annihlator Pro and the mirrors keep
flickering which is really annoying.

I seem to recall something about going to your display card's 3D
properties screen and enabling "Block Transfer Mode" or similar. I've
got a Voodoo2 so I am only relaying what I've heard here. It might be
worthwhile to hit Deja News and do a search of rec.auto.simulators for
"OpenGL" and "Block Transfer" to see what you can find.

I've just replaced my venerable voodoo 2s with a GeForce DDR and with Open
GL get the same flickering problem. However I also get crashes which I never
had before. It seems worse on some circuits than others, Nurburgring crashes
almost immediately but Spa can be fine for hours and Austria crashes as soon
as you arrive. Software is fine but how could I ever go back to that?

Yours very much thinking of putting those V2s back in.
