I had a similar experience when I put some 32 MB EDO SIMMs in my
computer
that apparently the motherboard could not read properly. Win95 booted
OK,
but when I ran a race at Australia, I could see this huge fence-like
structure
towering over the track. Then half way through the first lap, a "yellow
flag"
message came over the radio. In front of me, a large section of the
track was
missing, just black space. A flag marshall was waving a yellow flag
next to
it. The whole field in front of me was going over the edge, and falling
off
the track. When I went over, the program seemed to go into a loop
lasting
about 2 seconds, showing the same 3 or 4 cars falling over the edge. I
could still switch cars and camera positions. The CC cars were
frantically
jerking their steering left and right as they plunged off the cliff!
Should've got a screenshot! BTW-you don't need Hypersnap to get
screenshots.
Type "scrshots" in a running game(don't know if you have to be on the
track),
then anytime you hit [ALT][F12], you will get a *.raw screenshot file
made in
your main F1RS directory. You can convert the *.raw files to *.bmp
files
with the "fixraw" dos utility at The Unofficial F1 Racing Simulation

Happy cliff racing!
