I smell spam...

We still love you Dave, strange habits or not.

Just getting back into GTR2 after many years and just have a quick question. Is it possible in GTR2 to go to the race, do a formation lap with the AI, line up on the grid and then wait for the lights for the start? I know you could on F1 CE but can't seem to find anything for GTR2.

Thanks.

As I understand it, you either choose a standing start or a rolling start in GTR2 (and GTL). In rFactor you are able to do a start in the way that you describe. Hope this helps....and welcome back

Thanks goldtop. That's a shame but oh well. Anyway, really enjoying GTR2 again. I can't believe how good it is. Also got back into GPL, especially the '65 mod.

See you one Sunday night soon

i am still having problems with my card in that all the GTR tracks now look sparkly and shiny. Any idea if there is a particular setting i should alter to smooth it all out? It looks all tasty when sitting still on grid but once in motion looks a bit naff.

Got a new system up 'n running but experiencing exactly the same problem. It all looks too sparkly especially the white lines.
I know it's a long while ago but did you remember what you did? Messed around with all (well.. nearly all actually) of the nVidia settings but it does not change much..

Sorry Alex, been so long ago (3 years?) so I cannot remember what I had to tweak to get rid of it. Have you ran the GTR2 graphics config thingy?

in mine I have shader level set to auto
Full screen anti-aliasing ticked at level 5
vertical sync on

just looking in my NVidia Gfx settings for GTR:-
,
I have anisoptric and anti-aliasing set to application controlled.
FXAA off,
transparency off.
Texture filtering - Quality
Texture trilinear optimisation - on
Triple buffering off
Vertical sync - application controlled.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Mark for your swift response. Hope your knee held out in virtual France.
Tried your settings and many others but I still had to look at jagged white lines during the race (to my annoyance I must admit).
Couldn't believe that GTR2 would not run smoothly on a high end system 

So I did some wildly clicking around searching on the Internet and it appears that the RFactor-ish simulators are a bit picky concerning the settings. Just putting every setting on 'ultra' does not fix issues as I have learned (after 8 years of blurry pictures it's the first thing I did  )
Owning a nVidia card someone recommended nVidia Inspector and this did the trick. It has lots of profiles (even one for GTR2 and GTL) and has more settings than the regular nVidia config thingie.
Thought I shared this should anyone have similar issues....
