NR1999: Using N2 Pocono, Daytona, and Indy

I brought these tracks into my NR1999 tracks directory.  After racing the
Quick Race screen turned psychadelic colors.  I removed all the track logos,
shots, and event pictures before racing.  I still received the same multi
colored screen on exit.  Any help?        Tom

Tom, go get our PitsPatch 99.  That will fix all your problems, and also
add the Ford/Chevy/Pontiac logos, plus the 1999 calendars.

Cheers!

I guess I would like to know how you fellas know that chassis 1,2 and 3
are Ford, Chevy and Pontiac. I did not read that into the documentation
at all. Chassis 2 is supposed to be neutral while 1 & 3 should be low
drag and high drag. Perhaps you missed this part of the readme:

CHASSIS SELECTION

NASCAR Racing 1999 Edition allows you to choose from three different chassis
types for both the cars and Craftsman trucks:

Car Chassis 1:  Balanced for slightly less rear downforce
Car Chassis 2:  Neutral
Car Chassis 3:  Balanced for slightly more rear downforce

Truck Chassis 1:  Balanced for slightly less rear downforce
Truck Chassis 2:  Neutral
Truck Chassis 3:  Balanced for slightly more rear downforce

Please explain how *your* changing chassis 1, 2 & 3 to Ford, Chevy and
Pontiac agrees with what papy put in the readme. I think you guys are
all wrong on this one.

Ahhhhright Greg:
Well, when you unpack the layout.dat file you will find these three
files pontiac.pcx chevrole.pcx and ford.pcx, amazing enough when you
open them in a paint program chevrole.pcx is chassis-1 pontiac.pcx is
chassis-2 and ford.pcx is chassis-3 so these "chassis logos" correspond
to the "manufacturers logos" as they were in Nascar2. So BE-DAMNED with
your readme file and NEVER doubt those of us with superior intellect!
;)
hehehe

2's are pontiacs and chassis 3's are fords. go figure.

Well, if you look at the drivers who really drive FORD, they are
chassis 3.  Jeff Gordon and the others who drive Chevys are Chass 1,
while Ward Burton and the pontiac drivers are all in Chassis 2.  All
they did was take the manufacturer's name out of the mix. same thing,
different names.  easy to deduce.

And that brings up another frigging thing!!! The chassis in a real Nascar
car are all essentially the same (meaning welded tubular frames).
There are certainly Ford, Chevy and Pontiac bodies, but no Ford, Chevy
and Pontiac chassis. It makes sense to me that papy would try to give us
a chassis for shorttracks and one for Superspeedways and one for
Speedways, which is what I thought they did with the chassis 1,2 & 3.
Which is why I think you good ole boys are wrong :-)

Well when you pit it like that who can argue :-)

Since I'm from St. Louis, I think your appraisal of my background is a bit off...still.

Ford BODIES have superior downforce, which is why they do well at medium sized
tracks.  Chebbies have little downforce, which is why they are great at superspeedways.
Pontiacs are probably the best balanced, which is why they are arguably the best
overall body, and have won at both superspeedways and other tracks this year...

It was like that in N2 Greg...

During the development they decided to make those 3chassis a touch
different, and they were the same as what is wrote in the readme of NR99.
It's just for common sense that people updated the Chassis 1/2/3 to the car
chassis we knew from N2.

The chassis in N2/NR99 aren't completely different like what you find in
GPL, but they do have the minimal difference that makes alot of difference
when you become an experimented N2 driver. Especially on the NROS. I
couldn't see myself driving something else than a Pontiac on road courses on
the NROS.

In N3 you might have no chassis or completely accurate chassis like in the
98 WC season.  It's a development choice that I would like to know... hehe
we need a press release ;)

You can select chassis on NROS?  How?
