Welcome to RidgeHill Tn. USA

Tucked away in the mountains of North East Tennessee USA is RidgeHill
Raceway.
This is a 5.190 mile track with times in the low 2.00 minutes.
It has a good flow to it and carries a lot of speed with plenty of room to
pass.

Graphics are very high detail and "nearly" ALL texture, track objects, &
3dos are hand made.
Originally concept & design by Bill Cooper..........well I threw in some
ideas :))

It has taken Bill & myself about 8 months of hard work to finish this
project & finally it is here..........for your enjoyment :))

Fun high speed track. Graphics are absolutely outstanding! Waving
American flags might be a bit overdone, but the animation is a cool touch.

Great job guys.

Waving American flags. Overdone? Surely not! You can't have too many

If you get a "can't load track" use the Lo Res Asphalt Set provided in the
package

Nice track with high banking and beautiful scenery. Thanks!

But why does it make GPG quit to Windows after 2 laps? Nearly exactly.
I've only tried two times (in F3), though.

Fun track, but it locks my old P450/V3 up solid every time near the end of lap one; can't even ctrl/alt/del out of it. And yes, I
was using the low-res track mips.

Yep, running the V3 in Glide (GPL + Glide = the only thing that's kept this old box viable for so long). Must be some texture or
combo of textures at that point on the track, as it runs just fine up to there. Get spoiled by all those banked turns, though - big
difference from say, Leipzig! ;-)

G'Day guy's.......can you let me know at what point exactly on the track
you're getting the probs & is it a CTD or lockup.......this has had
extensive testing on various machines including Voodoo in V2 V3 & V5 etc
without probs......I'll let Bill know & we will look into it :))

Steve...TopLoader, Thanks for the response...for me it is not point
dependent, at first I get kind of a strange graphic (very colorful) effect
on certain parts of the track, then the freeze. That is why I suspect it is
a V3 overload.

Thanks again,
Quad

Well the only large textures 512 x 512 are the Asphalt .mips If you have
replaced them withe the Low res Asphalt set 256 x 256
you should be OK.........may be Driver prob?
