As soon as the program starts loading go ahead and press the ESC key.
This usually bypasses the intro for me.

Thanks, but I already know how to do that. What I'm after is a way of
skipping it automatically

Btw, AFAIK I think you have a GP wheel from Thrustmaster and a CH pedal set.
Is this a good investment, considering that it's 50$ cheaper than a T2 up
here in Canada ? Easy to install ?
Just wondering (had some money problems, the TSW2 is out of my price
presently and my T2 is dead). Oh yeah did you received my e-mail about the
FAQ ??

Not exactly the easiest way to do things, but you'll never have to view
the intro again if you follow these steps:
1) Backup the LAGUNA.DAT file in a safe place
2) Unpack the LAGUNA.DAT file
3) Delete the file INTRO.RP1 <~~~this is a "one", not an "L"
4) Edit the file LAGUNA.PCK, changing the number of files minus one,
and deleting the reference to INTRO.RP1
5) Repack the LAGUNA.DAT
That's it! No more intro scene! =)
BTW, the intro can be of ANY track you like, provided you don't mind
altering the EXE. Simply change the reference to the track to what-
ever track you wish to use, and pack a new replay of at least a single
lap into the track of choice. The camera angles are all controlled by
the EXE, so no special editing of the replay is required. =)
Cheers!

I don't have any CH pedals. But, I am pretty sure that Alison had this
setup at one time (and may still). Check out her website, I think she
has some info on this combo.

I think this combination should make for a good economical setup. You
may find that you will want to eventually give yourself more wheel lock.
You will find information on doing this at Alison's page also.

In ICR2 version 1.02 Papyrus changed from Laguna to Detroit, so DETROIT.DAT
is the file you need to edit.
Good racing.

Except when running the Rendition version...Who wants to run anything
else?! ;)

solution???

Hi Byron,
The racesave.bin only has a little to do with it, but what it affects,
I'm not sure.
What I do know is this: that I can successfully run a Rendition session
using a racesave from someone who has the reg-DOS ver. ICR2-3D leaves
something in memory which doesn't get flushed upon exiting - whether it
be the sim, or even a track. If you load a racesave and exit the track,
reload it (either after doing something to your settings, or simply
re-enter imediately) will cause the sim to become "unbalanced," and may
result in a crash soon afterwards. ICR2-3D may be refusing to let loose
of something in memory, and has a quantum effect each time you call a
track or the sim.
Depending on the amount of system momory you have, as well as the track
selected has a lot to do with this. If you're running with optimal
settings under 1Mb, but only have 16Mb of RAM, then you can only load a
track once, and the racesave may (or may not) work (regardless of what
version it came from). Tracks most likely to fail are the optimized
HQ tracks supplied with the sim, as well as the TSP and Rendition
Track Project enhancements.
32Mb may allow you to re-enter the track several times in a single
session, but loading a racesave is unwise. Same deal goes for more
Mb, as the extra memory only "buys" you a little time. Also, reloading
the sim without rebooting has nearly the same effect, rendering the sim
"unbalanced" for anything other than hotlaping. I don't recommend
saving races durring this period either, because you may also be saving
the "bug" that causes the initial problems - but I doubt it.
Here's how to run a "safe" session, or at least stack the odds in your
favor:
1) Never run more than one track during the same ICR2/DOS session.
2) Never reload the sim durring the same DOS session. Reboot first.
3) Never save a race during an "unbalanced" session (not 100% sure
about this part - but better safe than DOS-dead).
BTW, the last time ICR2-3D crashed on my system was when I forgot to
reboot, and had reloaded the sim during the same DOS session. Pain in
the ass for sure, but a hellava' lot better than getting deep into a
race, only to have victory yanked from your grasp!
Cheers!
Marc
