Usually when someone joins a server, the riders already on track will see them as a ghost in all sorts of forms. Lol

The thing to do is pit-in and then pit-out and your system will load the new riders textures for you to see them properly.  :)

do they join after you then when they next pit it is fixed?  Sometimes the ghost rider is just a ghost bike. Maybe more ghost bike than ghost rider since B7 lol. I saw one tonight too.

Question:
Is it possible to get rid of this? Or ist hardcoded and a "normal thing".
e.g. if i do long run testing session of 20-30 laps on an online server i do not wan´t to join the garage and reload the other bikes and rider textures because it will ruin my testing session.
is there a way that the textures are loading while out in track`???
if you are playing shooters and people join while playing you also see the full textured model and not only a ghost..??

I'm not a programmer, but I'd have thought with "Multi-Thread" programming you could do it, but I don't believe GPB is multi-threaded(Piboso correct me if I'm wrong please). Therefore everything routine is done in sequence and to load textures in while racing would drastically impair performance probably create very bad stuttering or even freeze frame rates while in it's process.
I'm probably wrong, but just some thoughts off the top of my head.  :)
