Make sure Vsynch ( Vertical Synch) is disabled for Open GL in your properties.

Some people do nothing wrong.
The problem is, they do nothing.
And THAT is wrong.

When I get into the cockpit view for a race the screen flickers (sort of like a blink). It also flickers in the menu screen that is used for joining a race. I'm talking about offline racing, here. Anybody have a similar problem and fixed it?
my system consists of:
pentiumIII 450
SBlive s/card
Winfast geforce2 GTS graphics card
am using opengl option
thanks

Overclocking your CPU? That is what was causing my flickering problem.

I had the same problem. Change to the openGL in place of direct3D. That
worked for me and I over clock my CPU as well.

I should have been more clear. It isnt the fact that I have my CPU OC'd, it
is that the AGP bus is OC'd along with it. Since my MB doesnt give me the
option of a 1/2 AGP divider I have to settle for the 2/3 setting. ABIT BE6
MB only supports 100mhz bus speeds so there is not the 1/2 AGP divider that
you see on boards that support 133mhz bus speeds.
This is fine when I have my 600mhz clocked at 100 bus speed because the SGP
bus is at it's standard 66mhz, but when I clock my CPU bus speed to 133
(which I have had it at for some time) to achieve 800mhz, then the AGP bus
shoots to nearly 90mhz which this damn GeForce2 can not take. My V3-3000 has
never had a problem but I would prefer to keep the GeForce2 and just make an
upgrade to my CPU in the near future. N4 seems to be more CPU dependant then
Graphics anyway.
Moral of the story... AGP bus overclocking can sometimes cause the
flickering, not necissarily CPU overclocking.
