Same thing on my V3 3000. Strange, since everything else looks great.

If you go to the 3DSetup folder, you will see the file 3DSetup.ini. Edit it
and you will see the following for Voodoo cards:
CARD_3Dfx Voodoo /M:voodoo2 /I
CARD_3Dfx Voodoo Rush /M:voodoo2 /I
CARD_3Dfx Voodoo2 /M:dx /I
CARD_3Dfx Banshee /M:dx /I
CARD_3Dfx Voodoo3 /M:dx /I
From this I guess that V3 cards are set to run in DirectX mode. Some people
have suggested changing the V3 line to:
CARD_3Dfx Voodoo3 /M:voodoo2 /I
and re-running 3DSetup.exe. This should set the game to Glide mode.
I've tried this on my setup (V3 2000) and the only difference I've noticed
is that the centreline is more blurred in DX mode. I can't really see any
difference in the framerate although I can't be sure as Fraps doesn't work
in either mode.
Back to the smoke issue, I see green smoke in both modes and can only use
16-bit colour. All I can say is if thats the biggest problem in the game we
haven't got much to worry about. Hope this helps.
I'm off to deliver a Boxster undamaged.
Cheers

I got the top down in the Speedster and I'm wearing my scarf. I'll put on
dark sunglasses and never notice the smoke color ;)
