Make sure you have DX6 installed. I was running the demo under DX5 with a Canopus pure 3d and a Hercules Terminator 3D/DX. The demo would always default to the S3 terminator and everything would be transparent. After installing Directx6, transparencies were gone and the demo would at last use the Pure 3d for rendering. Looks absolutely great now. Miles ahead of the PSX version. The handling is immaculate and wheel support should be avilable in the next demo which Codies are supposed to be releasing very shortly. ---------==========================------- \ / \LiverpoolFC - "Through the wind and the rain" ---/
