Hi i just brought the australian game touring car champions
the senery is nice but ther rest sux dont buy it trust me
the best thing about  the game is the bathurst track itself and the
senery  the braphics are so real they used video footige of the track
if a sim like gp2 had the very impressive senery that touring car has
it would be awsome and gp2 playabilaty
the matchup would be compleat thats it from me.

so how long exactly do we have to wait until we get a good touring car
sim,surely there must be a market for it N2 is awsome but
1 the cars are too heavy
2 they only have 4 gears
3 not enough non oval circuits(Not that i dont like ovals)
thats about it really

I bought the pre-release copy a few months ago. Unfortunately it was arcade
only then.

Does the full release have in car***pit etc???

Appreciate knowing as the graphics looked great in pre-release but the game
play looked like it sucked.

Thanks,

Phil.

You must make sure that you have the 1.4 bios installed, you can get it
from matrox web site (http://www.matrox.com/mga). when flashing the bios
make sure you are in a minimal dos settings enviroment (i.e. boot disk
settings) and everthing should be o.k. :-)

No true i'm afraid. I'm still using 1.3 (I prefer it), and N2 now works fine. You need to check the
advanced settings on your CMOS (you know... 'del' key on boot-up) and make sure that PCI-Streaming,
PCI-Bursting, and PCI-Concurrency are all enabled. If your motherboard does not have those features
I would look into the utility that is available to enable them.

"This program "tweak" really does improve DMA for those like myself that do not have any PCI
Latency Timer and/or PCI Streaming functions in their system Bios. The setting you want to be most
concerned with is the {PCI Streaming} . When you run tweak, your current system settings (also the
hidden ones not in your bios) will display their present readings. Observe the reading under {PCI
Streaming}. If it reads "disabled", change it to "enabled". Choose Apply Settings and
exit. Now run DMATEST."

Apparently the utility can be found at: http://www.helsinki.fi/~wikgren/tweakbios/

Good luck.
