5:17 now, but never really got a proper lap in because I spent a lot of the time trying to fix the annoying flickering textures when the lights were on. Not a show stopper but it's a good job I don't have epilepsy!

Would that be a nVidia graphics card? There's a fix somewhere. Let me know if it is and I'll spend some time looking for it. |

I have the flicker problem with an NVIDIA card. If you have the fix handy I'd like to try it.

Yep, nVidia. The README says something about CAM files and clipPlanes without any usable detail but Google is unable to find anything more practical. |

I had the road flashing at me with my old gfx card until Legzy suggested that I try DirectX8 instead of 9 to solve my fps problems. It stopped the flashing track and I have never bothered going back to DirectX9. PS I see Legzy hasn't broken cover yet. Last night's practice must have been really bad. Probably the pressure getting to him.  |

After trying in both XL and Win 7 on line last night I've come to the conclusion that P&G runs smoother and at a much higher frame rate in XP than Win 7. In Win 7 I can not accelerate as early as in XL without twitching and the max frame rate around the Mulsanne Kink is about 140 fps in Win 7 compared to 190 fps in XL. However on Mike's wet track these frame rates come down considerably.

whoohoo, new pb for me 4:01.305  took a couple of secs off my pb now that my brakes are sorted. Now i can chase the faster guys better  Had a 4:00 on the cards but i am still a bit too sloppy through those final tricky chicanes. |

Could this be due to your Graphics card not having the latest drivers for Win 7? Just a guess. |

No all the latest drivers were installed with Win 7. My theory is our Sims were designed to use with XP - as was 3DMark 06 and are therefore optimised for that environment. To use them in Win 7 requires some "overhead" which slows down their operation - noticed delays in loading various P&G overlays compared to XP.

Finally got some practise. On line 4.07 and off line 4.05 in GT40 MkII.
My headlights are not penetrating the shadows though. New GFX driver did not help. Medium shadows it is then.
When we did the Super Endurance a few seasons ago we discovered that GTR2 ignores any fuel amounts that you set past stop 1. So, no matter what fuel you set to take on for stop 2 and on wards, the amount will be ignored. You will always be given the fuel amount that you set for stop1.
I am not sure if the P&G crew have changed this. The best way to get around this is to use XD version 2 so that you can change the fuel amount as you are driving on track.
