HELP!

I have added some car dash patches recently to GPL and now all that happens is that I get "Track cannot be loaded" when I attempt to start a session. Then it says "cancelling the weekend" and throws me out. Can anyone help? Jon.

Yes - uninstall the dashes...<g> Seriously, I don't know WHY that happens(file corruption?) but that should fix the immediate problem. Try a different fileset.

If I remember correctly, this problem came up when using a high res dash on a Voodoo 2 or 3 that couldn't handle the size of the textures. Yes? No? Maybe? MRSisson -- LOAD "GPL",8,1 RUN

Correct. I had to use the GPLEA lo-res cockpits when I had a Voodoo 2. -- Tony Whitley GPLRank +8.59 "On some laps I'd get as many as fifteen corners really right, but Moss, he gets them all right on every lap" - Von Trips after the 1961 German Grand Prix.

What graphics card have you got? If you're using the GPLSF dashes some don't work on Voodoo cards. Read the readme for that info. Also, try removing everything from the particular car foolder **except the dat file** and put things in one at a time to work out what's causing the corruption. (I usually find it's a bad 3do file and d/ling it again sorts it out) Kev
