Greetings all; Our next league event is Sears99. Ran some laps there last night for the first time and noticed that after a few laps, I was seeing large tires (tyres) on the horizon. Exiting the car and going back in cured it, but this is no solution during a race of course. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix? Willard.

This is probably because Sears uses too much texture memory for your card (you have a v3 or something like that?). Install George Smiley's glide wrapper (read instructions carefull before installing) will solve the problem. Andre > >Willard. > >
Thanks Andre; I'll give that a whirl. Willard "Andre Warringa" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Be aware though, the glide wrapper has one slight problem: GPL's menu's become lots smaller. But I prefered that than those texture problems when I had a v3 card.. Andre
