ICR2 Calendar file

I've downloaded the conversion program for Indianapolis.  It worked
great.  The out of the box setup was great.  Anyway, my question is about
the calendar file.  I added Indy to the season, but now I've noticed that
Laguna has been eliminated in the season schedule.  Does the program only
accept 15 races (or what-ever), and just ignore any dates after that??  
If a person was wanting to run a season with indy, and the nascar tracks,
would they have to run it outside of the "championship" option??

Thanks,

Rick Martel

Rick,
        I've added all the NASCAR tracks that are longer than 1 mile
(minus Talladega) to my ICR2 Season and have not had the problem you
noted (I also added Indy) My season now contains 30 races. I am sending
my calendar file via E-Mail, maybe by comparing the two you can
determine what the problem is.

Regards,

Chris

  The extra races don't show up until their time.  I ran into the same
problem with Nascar.  I added about 4 races but they didn't show up when
I listed the schedule.  But as the race got closer it was there.  The
list just only shows x number of races.  If ICR2 is like Nascar which I'm
sure it is you are okay.  When it's time for the Laguna race it will show
up.

I don't have ICR2 but I had a similar problem with NAscar Racing.
Adding a new race in a already started season cause the calendar to lose the last
race scheduled on the old calendar.
Start a new season solve the problem but if you don't want to lose the races you've
already done try this:

open SEASON.BIN with a HEX Editor.
The 1st couple of numbers represent the numbers of the races.
SO all you have to do is to increase the number by 1.
EX if the 1st number is 0A if have to type 0B, if is 0F type 10 etc.

This works with Nascar;I cant't assure it works with ICR2 too. So Back-up SEASON.BIN
before trying.

Hope to be helpful,

FABIO

P.S. (For Rick and other Papyrus People) I will buy ICR2 when a patch for the yellow
flags bug will come out. Yours are the bests driving sims I've played (ICR2demo too)
Keep up the (very) good work and (please) release the patch soon.
