ALL NASCAR TRACKS WORK IN ICR2 DEMO !!!!!!!!!!!

by News Adm » Wed, 22 Nov 1995 04:00:00

Hold onto your hats!  I don't know if I'm the first one to do this
or not, but WATKINS GLEN and SEARS POINT work in the icr2 demo.

I've driven around both of them with other cars on the track.
I haven't tested the other tracks but assume they work also.
Here's what I did:

1) copy all the files from the \nascar\tracks\<track>\ directory
   to a \icr2\track\<track>\ directory for the track that you
   want to drive on.

2) Use the icr2edit.exe program to change your damage option
   to NONE.

3) Start indycar and go the the race menu.  Highlight the "Laguna"
   button first and wait for the picture to load.*  Then you can
   highlight the nascar track you want to drive on and enter the
   track menu.

* It's important to highlight the laguna track first, otherwise,
  the nascar track won't load!

4) On the two nascar road courses, I came up outside the track
   walls.  If you didn't set the damage to none then the car
   will explode when you try to drive through the wall.

One odd thing I noticed is that the other cars seem to drive around
the track at the same speed that the nascars did.  I think that by
editing the track files this could be changed.  The pit line in the
<track>.txt file could probably also be hacked into putting you and
the other cars into the pit lane of the nascar track.  Then damage
could be turned back on.

Good Luck!
