GPL Pit Board Question or am I the "dummy"?

Does anyone know why the pit board is not readable? All I ever see is a black square with red letters that says "Dummy Pitboard Texture". Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Kent

Where did you purchase your copy of the game, and what is the version number in the lower right corner of the screen when you first start the game? Randy

I remember the Matrox D3D patch displaying this... Richard, now using a Voodoo 2. -- Richard Bellavance | | "Rien n'est plus imminent que [link lost in import: /~c***/] | - Victor Hugo

I think its something to do with the video card - on my Matrox Millenium G200 with Matrox's GPL patch (which needs a LOT of work, Matrox...), that's all it will show. On my other PC, with a 4MB Rendition card, the game is much faster, and the pitboard works. -- Kirk Lane ICQ: 28171652 >>All I ever see is a >>black square with red letters that says "Dummy Pitboard Texture". >Before we answer, please submit your lap times and usage of Shift/R :) >Trey Behan

Heh, heh... Ok, My best time at the Glen is 1:12.39 in the Ferrari. This is with a joystick. No wheel... yet.8^) Thanks very much to the group for the answer. I am using a G200 so that beta patch must be the culprit. Well, I'll just have to hurry and get a Voodoo2 or maybe even a Voodoo3 *and* a wheel/pedal setup. But, meanwhile I love this game!!! Maybe after I get a little faster- only had this thing two weeks- I'll try online. I know I need to get my framerate up first though. Thanks again. Oh and yes, I confess that I do on occasion use Shift/R...<grin> Cheers, Kent Hosterman > >All I ever see is a > >black square with red letters that says "Dummy Pitboard Texture". > Before we answer, please submit your lap times and usage of Shift/R :) > Trey Behan

Yup, Could it be the GPL1.1 beta? KENT, DO YOU HAVE FF? Jens >Sounds like you have a beta version.... --------------------------------------------- Remove "NOSPAM" before using my email-address
