Indycar II "Flashing Curbs" Problem

When I play ICR2 in***pit mode the white lines that mark the curb-sides often flash on and off (quickly, like a strobe), especially when the visible horizon is low and flat. I find this quite distracting. This does not happen in "arcade mode". I don't mind learning a track in arcade mode, but you gotta get into the car to get a real feel of driving. Has anybody else noticed this? Is there a solution available? Joe

Maybe your graphics options are causing the problem- if I have the min and the max framerate thresholds set too close together, some things (like tire marks and some of the track lines) pop in and out. You change these things in the opening menu under options, then graphics. But if it turns out you are just referring to the way the track is drawn, I think I know the strobing affect you talk of, and I don't think there is anything you can do. It would be nice if the curbs were raised.

Could be - I think I do have them close together (this seems like the only way I can get the road texture to stay on, which I like because it increases the sensation of speed). I'll try fiddling with them a bit. Joe

try turning the road texture to on. other features may flash on and off. i usually turn the horizon off (i never look out there), and turn the textures off (on a P75). leave the objects on as you need the brake markers but you can turn the object textures off. i find getting the frame rate up to thirty helps with lap times and control. brian _________________________________________________________ Harrier Storage Solutions Legato NetWorker 42 Ivanhoe Road, Finchampstead AMASS, Baydel Berkshire, RG40 4QQ EuroLogic, Banyan http://www.harrier.com HP, IBM, Sun, DEC Uk Phone 1734 328 282 SG, NT, Novell Fax 731 130 _________________________________________________________
