ICR2 + V5 5500

by Dave Henri » Sat, 17 Jun 2000 04:00:00

  OK I was a BAAAAD boy and I re-installed CART racing.  I even added
the new CART sound..(ok..not great) and the LeMans conversion of
Bullrun2000.  Only took me about 20 minutes to remember how to pack and
unpack files..
  Looking at the jaggies all over the screen got me to wondering..
since the win95 version uses Direct Draw...can a V5 apply FSAA to
ICR2/Cart racing?  Or the Nvidia software FSAA?

  The new Reynard body and 2000 paintjobs are very good, but is there a
way to expand the windows replay screen.  I'm used to at least checking
out fullscreen in replay modes

 Man does that engine REV slow...newer sims have a way of spoiling you
for older titles that (at the time) seemed very good.  It seems to me I
had a tough time not blowing engines because the revs built so
fast...after gpl and other newer titles, the engine really seems
lifeless.  Oh well....it was good to sit back in that old beastie...

I really like the look of the LeMans track (if I have the same one).  The
trees look great and having the people standing of the porches is a good
touch.  The autobreaking is terrible though.

Autobraking is terrible everywhere.  Why use it?  (other than in
pitlane)

  there are two LeMans tracks...both are NOT LeMans but ICR2 tracks with
different background images.  The oldest is Road America converted over
to a Euro look, and the one I have tried uses the dat file from the flat
Bullrun track(Bullrun2000).  The enviroment is different, but the tracks
are still the same old ones.
probably found it at sim-***world and the track editing project.

The one I have is not a track that is the same as the old ones.  It even has
a banked turn right before the front straight.  True, it is most likely a
converted track, but the layout is different.
