  Hi Marc.  I was at your site and saw the kits...I have a few
questions...I'm gonna be getting a Rendition board soon, but one that
won't have the ICR2 3d stuff.  Will these kits all me to run ICR2(which I
have), in a 3d mode???  I didn't see any online instructions, so I'm
hoping they have a good readme file included.  If these port over the
tracks what other files will be needed???  And lastly, will the David
Noonan track converter work with these files???

Hi Dave,

You'll need the Rendition patch (available in the Patch section on
TSP).  As far as actually running ICR2-3D on the newer Rendition
cards, several have claimed success, but I don't know all the
details.  Perhaps someone could forward a set of instructions to
me, and then I could format it to be downloaded or read from TSP.

I'm still working on the descriptions and online readme files.

ICR2REND.EXE, as mentioned above.

They're not setup to run with the N2 tracks, but we hope to have
some pacthes soon (time permitting).  Standard ICR2/N1 tracks
are the basic fare.

Cheers!

Marc

Hi Dave,

sorry, but I have to say that the 5 Papyrus tracks (Elkhart, Laguna,
Michigan, Phoenix, Portland ) which are already enhanced are needed.

All(really?) Kits require some files of them. At least some files like
horiz.3do/sky.3do are needed, without them you won't see any sky,
which is one of the best improvements.

bye,

Joachim
