Anybody else getting a bad flickering in overcast or rainy conditions?
Looks fine in clear weather.

Perhaps you're suffering spray "entering" the cockpit... to the game the
cars are still open-wheelers with a tub in the middle, so it happily draws
spray "though" the cockpits of the GT mod, causing a flikkering effect.
Elas... bodywork and a windshield are but illusions in the GTR 2002 mod.

I,m not sure that is what Jon was talking about. I am suffering from what I
believe he is referring to. I can watch my frame rates, and they remain
steady around 70fps, but the display stutters and appears to be choopy at
times. It really looks more like a frame that freezes for about half a
second, then the display continues on for a few seconds or more, then it
occurs again.

using "EnditAll" to kill absolutely all non-essential background crap
before playing. I think I got Enditall at http://www.zdnet.com/.

I have the same problem. All is fine on dry / sunny days, but as
soon as the track is wet, the display gets all jumpy, pauses
for half a second, then jumps on. I had the same problem with
the Alfa mod in rainy conditions.
Strangely enough I don't have that problem using a vanilla F1
2002 on the same rig:
Athlon XP1800+
GF2MX 400
ECS K7SA / LAN
In dry conditions, I get around 30-50fps depending on track
detail.
Cheers,
Uwe

All that's running when I start GTR2002 is Explorer and Systray
(on win98se), nothing else (I only use this system for games as
it should be with windows ;-)

It's not a problem caused by things running in the background, at least I
don't believe it is. I only get this in the rain, and my framerates stay
around 70 while it is occurring.
P4 2.6Ghz @ 3.0Ghz
512MB of PC2700 DDR @ 375mhz
GF4 Ti4600 w/ 40.72 drivers
WinXP Pro (Anyone having this problem with Win98?)
Every other game is smooth as silk regardless of graphics requirements. I
think there must be a glitch in the way the mod handles the rain. It is
still playable, just slightly annoying.
Other than this small quirk, this is probably one of the most fun Games /
Sims I have played. I like the NR2002 for league play. And GPL is probably
still the most challenging thing I have ever played, but GTR2002 is right
there with them. For offline play, it may be the best so far. And oh yeah,
the sound... :-)

Running the No-CD exe did stop it for me. More recently, I had a nasty
stutter with the MS Rallysport Challenge demo, and found that reducing the
number of frames pre-rendered to 1 in my Nvidia card settings (same tab as
vsync) solved that. You might give either or both a try.
