Sometimes when I race the converted Indy for N2, a huge borg-like ship hovers over the track for the entire race. Does anyone know what it is?

Sounds like either: A) you converted Wing Commander for N2 instead, or B) it's the IVGA, come to collect your setups, or C) it's the IRS, checking to see what these mysterious "$500 per month for Hawaii" bills are all about, or D) it's I-76, not N2, in which case you've been in front of your computer for too long! :) God Bless, Steve

Maybe it is the Borg collective trying to assimilate your computer.Have you tried hailing it? Does it respond withthe ole "resistance is futile" thing ? As long as you you don't threaten it it will ignore you. Make it so !!!!! Sorry :) just couldn't help it. Live long and prosper Spock at RXspeed7 racing

I've seen it, too. It only shows up on cloudy days. I think it may have something to do with no "cloudy" sky being in the .dat file(?). As to just exactly what's being drawn? I haven't a clue! Jerry Morelock

You will notice that on sunny days it is not there. I have been trying to figure out the problem, just haven't gotten around to trying alot of different things to get rid of it.
