Thanks for the reply. I am running ICR2 win 3.1 with the 1.02 patch
on a Cyrix P120 with Diamond Stealth 64.
I have tried pressing "ctrl" and "R" during practice and a race, but
nothing ever shows. Am I doing it at the wrong time? Do I need to
have another screen up? Maybe it is just in the WIN95 or rendition
version?
I have also now tried your other method, and am startled at the lousy
frame rates I was getting with the graphics on. I was living in
ignorant bliss. I never realized what 25-30 fps even looked like.
Guess that's why I was always frustrated in traffic that the cars
seemed to dart around so much, maybe this was because of my lousy
frame rate?
Thanks again for your reply, you have been very helpful in this
newsgroup.
