Is it just me or has anyone else experienced the following:
1) When the camera over the drivers helmet is selected, the images in the
mirrors appear reversed.
2) The frame rate in a 'test day' session is lower than the frame rate in an
actual race.
3) Game sometimes (aprox 1 in 10 times) dumps to the desktop after a race
has finished or when trying to view a saved replay.
I have a Geforce 2 GTS with the latest detonator drivers and have patched
the game with the development update.
Thanks,
Ian

Yes, before the replay after the track loads....sometimes.

Sorry, I meant a 'driving school' session, not a test day.

Hehe, they're not actually reversed - it's simply the angle from that view
which shows the opposite side of the track. Bottom line - the mirrors are
virtually useless from that view.

No, I've got a relatively slow CPU, so it's extra cars that slow down my
system.

Saved replays always crash on my system after installing the 1.0.7.4 patch -
just after the track loads. Haven't had any problems after race fininshing.

I know what you're getting at, but I still think they are back to
front. If you drive one of the McLarens, you can read the "Mika" or
"David" - that is on the rear wing - in your own mirrors. Now surely
any writing should appear reversed in the mirrors, you'd only be able
to read it if it was written backwards (like you see on the front of
an ambulance).
Thanks,
Ian
