Will someone please tell me if there is a way to change the mipmap settings for a voodoo2 in gpl (i'm asuming the mipmapping is my problem) i'm finding it annoying at watkins glen as the armco sort of fades in from the middle distance causing me to miss turn-in/braking points. ive tried changing settings on gpl and different voodoo tweak software. PLEASE HELP ME col.

There is a small utility called 3dfxNoMipmap made by Samuli Takala. I don't know if this is the fix you are looking for, but some say they can see details ahead clearer. I have tried it but I prefer the standard mipmapping in GPL since I run it at high resolution (1280x960).

turns out my problem is caused by 'theuspits superpatch', it installes new mip files for s_armco, i took them out of the folder, and hey presto, no more magical 'appearing right in front of me armco' (it does look a bit chunkier now though. the no mipmap patch was interesting, but i found the extra sfx to be annoying ;-) col.
