Who was that nice chap from Papy that wrote the Direct3D patch for GPL? Does he know about the problem with the wrong colours on flags being shown? It's been reported by far too many people to be a coincidence. Perhaps he might be able to come up with a fix, if he has time. I've gotten into hot water in my league with not allowing other drivers to pass because I kept seeing yellow flags instead of blue! GPL is too damn good to leave this problem unresolved.
I've seen it as well, you might just have to use the old common sense flag rule....If someone is behind you, pretty much the flag will be a blue one. Out of site accidents will still cause problems...most likely they will be black or white so that might help...keep trying. dave henrie "Krakus" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:LuDK5.45398$[email hidden]... > Who was that nice chap from Papy that wrote the Direct3D patch for GPL?Does > he know about the problem with the wrong colours on flags being shown?It's > been reported by far too many people to be a coincidence.

Presumably the waving flags are graphics that can be edited/replaced? Maybe they could be fixed by changing the colors to something that doesn't get messed up (is it a palette prob)? I haven't seen the problem myself (V5500 under D3D - for hi-res dashes and better 3dwheels performance).

yes, I'm aware of the flag problem. It wouldn't go away :) I got a bit ticked off with it, so haven't looked at the problem since. Sorry. Krakus wrote:
