I havent seen this topic to be discussed in this forum before, but there is a way to get better shadows in GPL. All you have to do is to manualy change a grapichs option in the player.ini-file. Open the file in c:/Sierra/Gpl/Player/"your name"/ with Notpad and look for this line: [ Graphics ] shadows = 1 Change the number 1 to a 2 and start GPL. After that will you get some realtime renderd shadows under your car! It looks a bit better than the prepainted shadows we all are used to, but there is some glitches visible if you get airborne. The new shadows reminds me a lot of the shadows you can get in Quake2. I have only tried this on a V2 SLI system, but I think it will work on all graphics-cards. But it will cost you a few FPS thou... Regards, M Lindqvist
