Thanks K WEST, I already had the D3D patch...thats a must
still trying different settings, on my old GeForce 1 I could just have default settings with no graphics glitches. Now with a GeForce 3 ingame graphics are fine but the menu's are a little messy but nothing major. I found the car patches and the GPLAIM stuff and updated the cars and installed a new track, great stuff! I recently got two friends to buy it on budget citing it as the ultimate driving sim!
