NFS III and dashboard question

8 posts by 7 people · 28 Dec 1999 - 30 Dec 1999

Does Need For Speed 3 (Hot Pursuit) have in-car views with the dashboard? I can't find anything in the game that mentions it, but the catalog that came with NFS 4 shows an in-car view from inside the Jaguar, complete with dashboard. Is this something that never made it to production or am I missing something? Robert -- --

I believe you have to have more than 8Mb of video memory to get the dashboard option. Canadians can get paid to surf! https://www.alladvantage.com/joinsecure.asp?refid=ALW803 On Tue, 28 Dec 1999 12:21:28 -0700, "Robert Eberhardt"

Try running it in direct 3d mode, or downloading the voodoo3 patch (though I never could get the voodoo3 patch to work myself) >I have a Voodoo 3 with 16 meg >-- >---

Seems to me I remember asking this questions right after the game was released and ymenard told me that they yanked the***pits out at the last moment, but didn't change the graphics on the back of the box. -Jeff > Try running it in direct 3d mode, or downloading the voodoo3 patch (though I

NFS III definitely has in-car dashboard views. Make sure that the option "Limit memory to 2 mg for Glide apps" (something like that) on your Voodoo set-up is not checked. That did it for me. * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!

I have NFS III (not sure about the Hot Pursuit part) and had the problem of no in-car view. Found that it was because I had set my V2 to maximum of 2 megs for texture memory. Does the V3 have something similar? -- Peter Ives - (AKA Ivington) No person's opinions can be said to be more correct than another's, because each is the sole judge of his or her own experience.
