TPTCC questions

by VABergfe » Sun, 01 Mar 1998 04:00:00

I just finished installing TPTCC over NASCAR2 and have a few questions:

1) I used the free track converter, but TPTCC didn't pick up a couple of the
tracks.  No problem.  I manually edited the calander to add the tracks, but
what do the numbers stand for?  The first is obviously the race # in the
season,but what are the other 2?

2)  I gather that even with the full converter, TPTCC is set up only to use 6
ICR2 tracks.  Can you edit the others in to run them anyway, but the physics,
grip, etc will still be NASCAR and not TCC?  Anybody doing this?  I like the
converter, but $15 seems like a lot to add 3 tracks (I don't run NASCAR
separately -- I got it just for TCC).

3)  Is there a good guide somewhere to d/l and using cars off the net?  I want
to drive an  Audi or Mercedes and havn't figured out how to do it yet.

Thanks!

The first 0 is not really used to my knowledge , but the second number
indicates wheter or not th race is a night race. 1 being night race. 0 being
day. Nothing changes when these numbers are changed but they are needed in the
calendar file.

  The tracks that are free are Cleveland, Portland, and Long Beach.  Those that
need to be converted from icr2 with the full converter include:
  Australia, Toronto, Vancouver, Mid Ohio, Road America, Laguna Seca.  The full
converter has more detail in the track objects and the AI is a big improvement
from the earlier track conversions..(just try Aussie with the old AI, there will
be cars stopped at every chicane.  )  Tracks like Bull Run also run on the TPTCC
and there are rumours of more tracks from around the world possibly available with
the 2.0 version of TPTCC that is due soon.
  I look at the $15 bucks as similiar to Kali.  Your getting a good deal for a one
shot price, all the updates are free.  Good luck, and I hope to see ya possibly at
the Offline TPTCC league runs.  We are at Laguna Seca this weekend(Mar. 8th)
  TPTCC also includes world Touring cars in a support race and the GTP ICR2 cars
in another support series.  Fun!(unless we are discussing driver ratings!)  :)
