I have downloaded the tracks from Brands and Ostreichring for GPL. They look great, however I don't see any details on the tracks or grass. The racing grooves are not there, it's just a plain-coloured grey area. I understand that the track should just show the asphalt details like the other GPL tracks. Does anybody know what the cause of this problem may be? Thanks and regards, Arthur

If I recall correctly you will have to increase your details setting (move slider to the right) to see the groove. Either that or switch trackside objects to "all". I had to do something like that when Brands first came out. David "Arthur and Corina" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I have a PII-450 with 128 Mb and I already have all of the details set to on and the detail setting slider completely to the right. Is there somethin in an ini file that may be wrong? I really that have a clue. David Erb wrote: > If I recall correctly you will have to increase your details setting (move > slider to the right) to see the groove.

I just went into GPL and tried to replicate your problem. The only way I could get the grove and track textures to dissappear was to switch them off in the options panel on the textures side of the page. You could double check by opening your player.ini file (in players\YOURNAME folders) and looking for these lines under the [textures] heading racingGrooveAhd = 1 ; Racing groove in forward view racingGrooveMirror = 1 ; Racing groove in mirror view terrainAhd = 1 ; Includes grass, dirt, sand, gravel, and water in forward view terrainMirror = 1 ; Includes grass, dirt, sand, gravel, and water in mirror view 1 after the heading means they are switched on The only other thing I can think of would be some file missing or corrupt in the .dat file but the only way to confirm would be to redownload the track. Beyond that I'm outa ideas! Good luck!
