Silverstone track looks great but does anyone know how to stop one of the video screens at the side of the track only popping up just as you get near to it and are about to pass it. It's about the only slight problem I have noticed with the track. I think it's not long after stowe corner when it appears - hope someone has an idea anyway

Yes I was aware of this issue but never had time to fix I think it's do to with the bounding boxes of the video wall but I'm not entirely sure. If someone knows the answer I'll happily fix it

about the video box popping up, open up the gp4 file in gp4builder, find the two objects as shown in picture

Change the marked sections to what is shown.

Also dont know if its a nvidia problem like gildoorf was having but some fences are showing in front or behind certain objects.
Fixing this is simple enough.
These tex files need to be changed to DXT1, opaque :

silverstone2001_Club_Hill_Gravel.tex
silverstone2001_page_026.tex
silverstone2001_page_26_red.tex
silverstone2001_page_026_NoGrass.tex
silverstone2001_page_26_red_NoGrass.tex
silverstone2001_page_178.tex

And these ones need to be changed to DTX1, Semi Transaprency:

atx_d_1
atx_d_2
atx_d_3
atx_d_4
atx_d_5
atx_d_6
atx_d_7
atx_d_8
atx_d_9
atx_d_10
atx_d_11
atx_d_12

@willb
thank you
@matt
thank you for sharing those tips

great stuff

Thanks for the tips about Silverstone - can I just ask how I change the tex files in the list to DXT1 opaque - I've used texresizer to change the atx-d files to DXT1 semi-transparent but I can't open the grass/gravel files apart from club-hill-gravel - I get an unknown format error

I use slimtex to change them.

another one to adjust is the start lights in gp4builder. distance is set to 200. change this to 1000 to stop it popping up in close view.

I've never used slimtex before and I have no idea where to start changing the tex files from semi or fully transparent to opaque, can you give me a quick guide as its totally different to texresizer or gp4master

straightforward guide to use it here:-

Awesome mate realy great Track

@fongu: your pm inbox is full but i got a question for you. Can you delete eine messages? Thanks

Wow, Matt many many thanks for this info!

Unfortunately I'm unable to do anything with Silverstone at the moment, if you have already fixed the issues with a local copy of the circuit would you mind sending me the changed .tex's and .gp4 and I will repackage into a new version so everyone can have the track with these problems fixed?

Many many thanks for taking the time to post the solutions to these issues.

Regarding the flickering, I never knew how to fix that grass showing through fence issue - thanks! I do however get some weird shimmering issue ever since upgrading from my 8800GTS. I tried a 4870 and a GTX460 but still have the same issue. I originally thought it was ATI specific but apparently not. Take a look at this video in HD and full screen (else its hard to notice). Look specifically at the top of grandstands and at the end of the video coming out of wood coat you see the gantry flicker terribly. I'm not sure if others experience this or if it's something with my settings. Either way I can't stand it and it's partly the reason I stopped playing GP4 . Any fixes would be super awesome .

Here's the video: [youtu.be]

Thanks again!
