Yes - I have it selected Dave. If I capture a still frame, the thing looks
almost as impressive as N2k3 - no problems with the picture at all. It's
when the whell is moved, or other vehicles are in motion, that the
sparkling/shimmering happens. I'll try the Aniso = 1 and mipmap in 3D config
suggestions and get back.
Thanks for the help.
