Looks like flipped polies.

Just tried the EA mclaren F1 & Merc.CLK-GTR to check the backward-view, you are right it's empty. And it's linked to s.n 2 & 18. When you change the numbers you get a backview which is all covered. Never knew that.

Ah ok so now you're a little bit wiser like me :D What i wish to exist would be a 2nd dummy for the backwards view. It's so annoying that High Stakes uses 1 dummy for the front view position and the backwards view position. Would like to use 2 dummies. But anyway.. If the polies would be flipped, how are they supposed to work in the :HB part? I don't understand that. And thanks for the response

With interior views, the need for speed graphics engine decides to display triangles that should be hidden. It displays the polygons in the order it wants. I think that the spurious polygons are inside the car.
All the hidden triangles need to be removed, and those that appear partially need to be placed in another area.

I'm in mourning, I saw the last Jaguar.

OMG Butch thank you so much. It actually works. So i actually have to remove unrelated parts and/or polygons unfortunately. But it makes the model a bit lighter then at least. Everything has it's price. I'm gonna update all my dashviews as soon as possible

Unfortunately, not perfect, but much better than before. I think the game doesn't like the remaining polygons beyond the edge of the flat body part

I like any type of onboard cameras during replays on cars which initially don't have a dashview at all ;D
