I just noticed after installing the no letterbox patch that all the f2 cars have blurry gauges except for Lotus and Lola. This is with bith d3d and opengl v2. Did I miss some hi-res gauge update or is there a simple tweak that I can do? I just installed an new mobo, cpu and gpu in my machine so I wonder if that maybe messed  something up. I never really messed around with f2 much before so I can't recall what it was like before the system upgrade.

Not so here.  I tried all the options and the dashes look the same.

Can you take a screenshot of with and without the letterbox view?  Use FRAPS http://www.fraps.com/download.php and convert it to a jpg in MSPaint.

This is me in the Matra but using shift-v to go into other cockpits gets the same results. Ditto for viewing a replay.

Hmm.  The no-letterbox patches I've seen remove both the top and bottom black bars but you have the bottom black bar.  What are you ticking in the GEM options box?

[The Pegger]

No that's just the top bar from the original letterbox version. Notice the FPS counter from FRAPS right at the top edge of the black

Does the detail slider have any influence on this?
E.g. what is the value you currently use?

[ginetto]

There are some graphics setting that lower the resolution down; be sure you don't have any number in the top options of this window


With these values and the detail slider at 75 I have this view without any graphical addons

"Maximum Mip Size" and "Toss Biggest Mip" are probably your enemies. You must have set them to a value different from zero. Set them back to it, like Ginetto said
Lod Bias is useful only when running OGL, so set it to -50 or -100 just if you use glide rendering

[The Pegger]

LOD Bias and Maximim Mip Size were indeed something other than 0. I changed the settings to 0 and it's all good. Thanks a bunch everyone!
