Hi, Sorry if these are trivial questions, scanned the group, but
couldn't find the answers. I just bought a copy of F1RS, and had a quick
look after installing it. I chose to do a simple few laps at Silverstone
and the top half of my dashboard shows up as a blue rectangle. I have an
S3 Virge based 4Mb 3D accelerator (pretty crap) but acccording to the
game blurb that should be sufficient for D3D graphics (latest S3 drivers
installed). I have DX6 already installed (no idea what version, or
whether the lastest drivers - hints and links welcome). Anyone else come
across my dashboard problem? Help. Anyone know of good F1RS web sites?
Many thanks, Rick.

Rick I have exactly the same problem with my S3 Virge 4meg. I brought the
game about 6 months ago and I still can't get a dashboard. I have
downloaded many patches from the f1 sim site but know seem to work with the
S3 Virge.

The game will not work properly with the S3 Virge.
