Bug in GP4 - Huge white curtain! :)

I'm building my first track for GP4, I should be able to release it in the foreseeable future.
However, I'm encountering a rather peculiar bug as you can see in the screenie below...
It's not visible in onboard cameras, only in the trackside cameras and the "chase" camera, pg down.
It always happens at the same point in the track, and only in dry weather it seems..
Any ideas guys? Thanks

Try this..

Backup/rename f1graphics.cfg file to f1graphics1.cfg

Make sure to delete f1graphics.cfg and there is no such file..

GP4 will create a new one when you run the game again.. Check if that works out.. Keen to test your track. Good luck!

Thanks for your reply Hasbriale! Your solution works, but when I go back into the graphics menu to turn the car textures to high again it comes back
Does anyone know what specifically could be causing it? Thank you!

I am stumped.. No idea.

I guess you have a transparent layout there that is not really transparent.

Yeah it's strange because it's been there since I created the .GP4 from the .dat

Probably something got corrupted in the .gp4 file then? Try creating a new scene, then move all your objects to that new scene, delete the old one, see if it changes anything.

I am not a track specialist but taking account the position of the "thing" , is it not related at a heat haze area which has not the right properties and then not transparent in game ?Using GP4 builder don't you detect any "strange" polygone in this area?

Thanks Prblanco, I'll give that a try!

Well I haven't detected any strange polygons, but that sounds like a possiblity. I haven't added any heat haze effects though, where and how do you modify/create them? Thanks gezere

I think I've resolved the issue by having a play with some values in the f1graphics file.
The [main view] distance cull all track objects past this distance was set to 2500. I then changed it to 0 to turn it off, and it no longer appears
I'm not sure why it was causing a problem though
Thanks for all your help!
