textures popping up
Just wondering if this is a problem on my side or if everyone is experiencing this.
When I drive by the pitlane e.g. on Westhill, the pit lane exit line on the ground just suddenly pops up. That seems weird to me, as the other textures on the road like the starting grid build up really smoothly.

I attached a small video, you'll have to change the file extension to .wmv

happens for everyone i think, atleast for me. ... in some other places aswell.
I was about to report this and found your thread. I have the same problem and it looks rubbish when the lines just appear like that.

I have
Intel Core2duo 6600
Geforce 8800GTX 768mb
Asus P5N32-SLI
Corsair Dominator 2x1024mb

Im using V-Synk and 16x Anti Aliasing and 16x Anistropic Filtering with the Nvidía software!
i have never had this problem, or i dont think i have....

I'll go and have a look

Edit: well, i just had a look and i dont get it at all. The track/Road is loaded as far as i can see :S
Thats pretty normal.Its LFS issue how it draw these lines and other object sometimes.
Yes but its still an issue. Would be great if some more with this problem posted their system specs so we can see if there are any similaritys.

EDIT: The track is loaded. Only the lines causes problems.

I get the same issue as in the video. I always assumed it was just a limitation of the mipmap system. I have anisotropic filtering at 16x and still get it. It does almost seem like the mipmaps only have the road detail and not the markings.

For the record, I have a nv 7800GT on 93.71 drivers and LFS is patch W.
The markings you refer to are the 'lines'' for the pit entry/exit. These are OBJECTS which are drawn seperately to the Track textures. Its good to see most other track pop-ups have ceased. There was a bad pop-up sign at the end of the Westhill main straight and the FE fences annoyed me alot. They dont seem to pop-up anymore. I guess these other lines and pop-up will be addressed at some stage. They are indeed anoying and they really destroy the immersion.

I'm really interested to know how Nathan_French_14 avoids this issue. Even at full LOD I still get pop-up line markings there.
@Frenchy.. The line pop-up happens when you are about 10 metres away from the pit line markings outside the pits, on merging area of the main straight. Both pit beginning and end of the pits. Do you still not have them popping up as you get close to them?
