GP3 track pixellation

I use a V3 3000 and cannot check the " texture in track" checkbox. With a wet track there is a lot of ugly pixellation in the track surface, grass next to it is nice and smooth. Especially visible in cameraviews. Some of you guys with 32 or 64 megs on graphic card have the same problem? Can you check the "texture in track" box? Knudse.

That's just the V3. There'a a comparison shot of wet weather on a V3 3k and a GeForce 2 Gts, I tihnk it's on f1gp3.it but I'm not too sure. There's no ffix for this, because it's probably caused only having 16 MB of gfx RAM. David C Knudse <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8p3ga2$nst$[email hidden]...

I just picked GP3 up and just finished getting everything set up. But Im getting black jagged areas popping up all over the track in certain spots. I've tried I've tried different detail levels and resolutions. I can get rid of them. I'm using a V3500 on a PII400, 256ram Is there a know fix for this? Jim D.

Use the video card driver on the GP3 cd. J. Janasov Jim Dombrowski <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:oHdt5.124945$[email hidden]...

BUT use the V3 3000/2000 driver NOT the 3500 driver. Don't ask why, it just works, ok. David C J. Janasov <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8p3s9u$o0b$[email hidden]...

Thanks for the replies. Actually I found on the GP3 website FAQ that I should add a line "detailmap=0" on the cards.txt file in GP3 directory. It said it lowers the track detail. But it was better then the jagged black marks. It works well enough like this, that I don't know if it would be worth changing my driver. Might wind up causing problems elsewhere with my luck. Thanks for the quick replies though. Jim D. R4 wrote in message <8p3u7l$mvj$[email hidden]>...

I had the same problem but I changed to the latest driver for my V3 3000 and it was OK. Looking great IMO. -- Greetings Johan N [email hidden]

I began to get the track corruption again even after adding the line to the card.txt. So I upgraded my driver to the new V3500 beta. It fixed it. But for some reason it messed up my Act Labs drivers. And I had a heck of a time getting them back to normal. But finally all is working ok now. Jim D.

The box is greyed out because track textures are always on and cannot be turned off (in hardware mode at least). I get the same thing on a GeForce 2 GTS (32 MB), and I used to get the same thing when I briefly had a V5 5500 AGP. The box should be greyed out. Having said that, I also tried GP3 on a V3 3000 (after I sold my V5 but before I got the GF2) and the track surface didn't look the same as on the V5/GF2, even with the 1.05 drivers. The 1.05 drivers fixed the black-triangles problem, but still the track surface looked way better on the V5/GF2. It's kinda like the texture-layers aren't blending properly. Also the wet track didn't look right on the V3 either. GP3 and V3's don't seem to get on too well. Also there's no way to turn on filtering on the track surface (on any card).
