well i have downloaded it and tried it out and its a fantastic thing you find out dinga, great job man !

But i just have a little problem with it. If it shows before the lights go on its showing to big and can't see it all.

Intermediate 1 and 2 i don't see cause the image is too large !
the track layout i see completly

Hope you now the solution

Greetings Steven

This is one of the possible problems Rene warned me about using 1024x768 sized images. Some cards don't support images with sizes not to the power of 2! ie 1024 is ok 768 not! I'll upload another version with the images at 1024x1024 and hopefully this will fix your problem.

I get the same problem as BigBrother.

Okay, I've uploaded a new version - should be on line later! Original version works fine on my system but this new version should fix your problems.

This could just be my system, but I've been running the track maps in GP3, and I get a massive PO hit while they are up (something in the order of 400-500%). If I shrunk the image down to 800x600, would the PO drop?

Does it matter? Map displays for 10 secs, car not moving - is PO that important there? Nothing wrong with trying to resize images just back-up!

And now, just to make things more confusing...it now works perfectly.....goddamn this machine is so unstable.

@Dinga - I did resize the images anyway. And the results where..."interesting" to say the least. They cut off the left half of the image and attach it to the right..weird. Anyways, it now works with the originals so Il use them.

They look brilliant dinga. Any change of a digital version?

@Bernie - I have considered a digital version, just let me have a rest yeah? I'll need screenshots from TV for ALL the races with digital overlays though, this could take some time! Glad it works now though!

Well the new version isn't uploaded yet on the page but you are right dinga my graphic card doesn't support 768 so i'll wait and try the new version out and let you know what the it gives but still very nice job man !

I use a gforce 4 64 mb tv out so everybody that has such a graphic card will have the same problem !

i have a ti4200 with the same problem,all i did was edit the y source in Cinfo 'edit images' to 950 instead of 768,works a treat.

its not a card prob its a monitor if u have a 15' monitor with 1024x768 res forget it u need a 17'

its a 17 inch screen !!!!

greetings Steven

i don't think so

i have a 19" screen but I have same issue as BigBrother

i'm using geforce4 Ti4200 with detonator 52.16

It is a card issue. The fixed version should sort you out. What's happening is that horizontally the image is fine but vertically the card is stretching it to 1024 hence the oversized images! The fixed version contains re-edited .ini files and 1024x1024 images. Can you let me know your findings when you've tried the fixed version?

Yep no problem dinga, when its availeble i will try it and tell you if its ok or not. Will look the whole evening if it comes online what i hope !!!

Greetings Steven

where is the fixed version i have the problem too

Give me a download link! I want this track overlay!!!


Good job Dinga!!!
