That includes so far Snetterton, Pantsring, Solitude and Goodwood. The reason for this has something to do with the way 3do objects are coded and used in GPL. It would take an incredible effort to correct this for relatevly little yield (very few run software). That time is much better spent in bringing a few more tracks, i'm sure you agree. So sorry for that.... Martijn

IIRC the GPLEA Snetterton track refuses to work with software acceleration and requires a 3d accelerated card. Could this be the case with Solitude? Has anyone successfully gotten the track to work in software mode? +Cinquo

According to some messages on the GPLEA forum track created with their track editor don't run in software mode. By the way, why do you call this the 'Eldred Solitude problem?' Andre >+Cinquo

Do most people running servers at work have 3D cards in them? I wouldn't think so, but then again, my department is cheap...

At least Imola works, but is butt ugly if you're not having enough detail turned on. You're effectively surrounded by green ten-meter-high walls and the track surface looks completely flat (which is not the case with the original tracks in which the track cambers are very well visible with textures off). > Eldred - and it's not just 'my' problem...<g> ...and the reason I decided to call it 'The Eldred Solitude Problem' is because Eldred described it in an earlier post. +Cinquo
