International Rally Championship bug acknowledged

Hi Guys,

Not sure how many of you IRC players have noticed this, but I posted a
message regarding the rear-view mirror not being displayed properly.
Basically, it wasn't reversing the image.  I let Europress know about this
and they originally told me I was wrong and that they couldn't see the
problem.

Now, although I've never driven a real rally car I find it hard to believe
that the rear view mirror in say, a Subaru Impreza is any different to a
normal car (ie my Beetle!) so I asked them to check again making sure that
they were testing with the same configuration as I am playing with (ie
3fdx).  Sure enough, yesterday I talked with the guys there and they have
admitted that there is a bug with the mirror but only in 16-bit colour
modes.  They have told me that a patch will be available soon on their
website.  It sounds like they are pretty snowed under.  At least I've got my
version running - some people haven't!

Something else I have noticed.  Does anyone else have problems losing
joystick configurations part-way through a lap in Arcade or Championship
modes?  I haven't had this happen in Simulation mode.

Cheers ....... Pete
