Having only installed v0.5.0 and now getting v0.5.2, can it be installed over top of my existing version or do I need to do some cut and pasting of cars and tracks?? And another thing while I have you here....I have a Cuda and a VR6 Jetta that do nothing when loaded into the game...they do a one second idle then sit there....the game is NOT frozen, I can shift and see the indicator do it's thing ....... any ideas??

Okay.....I backed up my previous install and installed the new version......the cars I added in are all mucky now. They look like they have driven through some mud puddles.........and after trying to drive them.......and back in the select screen, they are void of any colour almost entirely. I didn't have this trouble in the v0.5.0. Ruud, any ideas ?? V

Hm, sounds like a shader engine issue. Do you have a link to the Cuda and/or VR6 so I could download them and have a look? (or you could mail me them). Ruud van Gaal Free car sim: http://www.racer.nl/ Pencil art : http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/

(or you could mail me them). I have the same issue, the cars in question have NO shader file... I added a shader file Mitch/Luis hackde up for me a while back, which fixes the problem, but displays those Front/Back/Top etc images :) raro

I see the problem with the 'Nissan Silvia 14' as well. I'll look into it. Funny how it even CAN get greyish. <a little later> I see it's a problem with reflection map emulation in the new graphics engine. Taking out the reflection bit gives a normal picture. I'll see what's wrong with the shader that's created for these types of materials. Looks like the only things is the spherical mapping of the reflection map (it is mapped right on top).

Sorry for not responding sooner. I figured that problem out......with the new version I was able to utilize a button for the starter. I didn't realize this was a feature in the previous release....they still have no colour.....but they both work now. I sent a PM to you outlining other problems I am experiencing as well. Let me know here if you got it or not......if not, I can send them again. Thanks for such an excellent sim. Verne

The PM I sent was a reply to the address that is your mass mailing list for Racer updates and whatnot.....it is the only one I had. My biggest concerns were the colour washing out and the lack of sound for the add-on cars I have. Do I have to redownload the new beta version for the fix......or is it posted somewhere other than your site ?? Thanks Ruud..........with customer service like this, who wants to buy production games?!? Verne

Ah, no idea where that goes actually. It's not something that gets to me. Hm. Try my "Reply to:" address here with the necessary spam killing adjustments next time. >..it is the only one I had.

If you have beta3 (12Mb) then you can the files in the patch file (400Kb) on top. >..or is it posted somewhere other than your site ?? Thanks >Ruud..........with customer service like this, who wants to buy production >games?!? Hehe, thanks, but these are relatively simple problems fortunately. A remark saying 'the AI drives off the road' isn't as easy to fix. ;-) Ruud van Gaal Free car sim: http://www.racer.nl/ Pencil art : http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/
