Hi, That would explain why James North was converting Raceway over to VB .NET. I have the original VB 6 version, but I noticed he was rewriting with VB .NET and DirectX 9. Managed DirectX 9 is known to have better ff support, and I suspect that was why he was converting it over. He mentioned something about DirectX 8's ff support sucked, and now I know why. Grin.
