Racer graphics problem

Just gave Ruud's Races a proper try yesterday. Splendid piece of software there. After figuring out how to get a close to incar view (is incar even possible yet ?) I found it very drivable. Good FF effects in my MSFF, and a bunch of fun. Well done and keep up the good work. This might be big. But I have a problem with the car graphics flashing. No matter what car or track I use, the car is flashing constantly. Graphics card is V5 and I turned off FSAA. I run in 800x600 mode. WinME fresh install. Latest official graphics drivers. Do anyone know how to fix this ? Seems I got a good read in front of me to figure out all the ini files. Specially how to get rid of all that text. :) My apologies if my problem has been covered somewhere recently. And again, keep up the good work Ruud! -- Olav K. Malmin remove .spam when replying

Don't have any V3 or up cards around here, so I can't really help either. >Seems I got a good read in front of me to figure out all the ini >files.

yeah, I have the same problem here... I'm on a banshee (okay, you can stop laughing now) Other than that, Racer is awesome! Keep up the great work. With all the support from the sim community I can see this going far. jah_warrior

Still, a couple of versions ago I had a Banshee. Until I got so fed up with its poor drivers that I switched to nVidia boards. Thanks btw, and get a LAN for the next version. :) Ruud van Gaal, GPL Rank +53.25 Pencil art : http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/ Free car sim : http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/racer/

Hmm, didn't sound to good. Thanks for the answer anyway. I think I have to live with it then, since I don't part with my V5 just yet. A processor upgrade is higher on the prority list, and computer upgrade is way down on the general priority list :) > >Seems I got a good read in front of me to figure out all the ini > >files.

Weird, but good to hear it's not just my code. :) Although it seemed to work ok when I still had my Banshee...

same here. I had a Voodoo 1 that worked just fine. I then replaced with a GF2MX, and the next time I tried it on a voodoo (which was quite a bit later) I got the flashing textures. haven't really been bothered to look into it, though -- Gunnar #31 SUCKS#015 Tupperware MC#002 DoD#0x1B DoDRT#003 DoD:CT#4,8 Kibo�: 2 myk, trygg og god.
