I have noticed that there will appear dust clouds or dirt clouds around the track, even with no one else nearby. There doesn't seem to be a legitimate cause for them, I can stop on course and see them statically. This only has appeared at the Detroit track but I am curious if anyone else has seen them. I saved the incident as a replay, I can clip it and post it for review if requested. --------------------------------------------------------------- * \(*)-(*)\ \(*)-(*)\ * ---------------------------------------------------------------

Yup, I've seen them, but only at Michigan. And if I scrape the wall (car damage off, of course :-)), the smoke that I make stays too!! But this happens only infrequently, and exiting the track, then going back solves the problem. I'd say though, that this occurs only about once in every 10 to 15 visits to Michigan, and exiting and re entering ALWAYS seem to relieve the problem. Odd though. Ken

I have seen this, too. It happened after I played around with many different graphic detail combinations at Michigan, but it never came up with my normal (low detail) graphic setup (only horizon, smoke/dirt, *** on road and nice tires). Happy racing Herbert --
