It WAS a draw distance issue.      I modified the draw distance in that part of the track using GPLRA to show where to make the changes, and FBAdjust to do it.  I hope you don't mind Rudy.  I modified your mosport.3do, so there shouldn't be any problems.  

Just unzip this mosport.3do into your mosport track folder after you backup/rename the original one.

> I don't have that particular problem but will this also fix popups in first 1/3 of track?  
Thanks for the nice track Guys!  -Greg

The structure you mention as being visible in the distance once you crest the rise at the top of the back straight is Papy's meagre but nonetheless creditable attempt to show a proper feature of the circuit.  It is a compound archway at a spectator pass gate.  Each of the four such gates featured this construction.

I've tried to locate a decent aerial photo of the top portion of the circuit which would help you get a better feel for it but have come up empty.  Sry.

Thank You!

installed this update today looks pretty indeed, earlier JP high-resolution version has track sounds, (announce and crowd wav's) this update seems come without track sounds or dont work.

I've noticed whole hills popping in and out of existence in other parts of the track.  I tried to fix them with no success.  When I get the time, I will try yet more draw distance.

Miklkit: Yeah, I noticed the popups too - as I remember it they were in Papy's original version as well.
I decided not to mess with draw distances for this release and keep things largely as-is, to ensure it would (likely) keep working on all machines. I only fixed an issue where you could see right through the infield on the right as you come over the hump at the end of the straight.

With regard to track sounds, it may be possible to add them again but I've no experience in this area. Remember that this update originally came about as a combo of several earlier updates and I had no idea if and when they came with sounds.

Feel free to experiment away, though.  This update was made to be added upon, since it's an amalgam of older stuff which mainly adds several new bits to increase the 67-era realism - maybe I should've called it "Mosport Rocks"..!  

Regards, Rudy

Cheers Manfred, was wondering what it was meant to be !!

I've been playing with draw distances.  In T1 way out there is some dark green stuff.  Increasing draw distance doesn't seem to have any effect so far.  How far out can you go?  Also, after exiting Moss, for a short section another part of the track bleeds thru the trees on the far right side.  Reducing the draw distance doesn't do any good.  Any opinions?

[miklkit]

Here are some more options for the asphalt.  With these we now have 4 options.  The asphalt that came with Rudy's update. 256x256.  The Valex asphalt.  512 x 512.  The asphalt that came with the Steve Life Nurby.  1024 x 1024.  And the asphalt that came with Jason Peter's Mosport.  1024 x 2048.  The last one is my favorite except that it is too light.

The one named in caps is the 1024 x 1024 one, and the one named in small letters is the JP one.

Good looking stuff there.  Thanks!

I've gone as far as I can on the draw distance front.  Here is what I'm using.  Backup your mosport.3do and then unzip this into your Mosport folder.  
  The whole purpose of limiting draw distance is to help fps.  If anyone notices a drop, you can go back to the old one, or maybe we can tune this one better.
