It is not possible to get the enhanced version (with the good looking
graphics) of icr2.  But you can download a patch, that will allow you
to get the excellent frame rates which come with the accelerated version.

I do not have a URL for you right now, but it should not be difficult to
find it at e.g. sierra's site. I believe it is named indy3dr.zip and was
intended as a patch for Cyrix users.

I hope this helps.

Hi

Have a look at

http://www.cdrom.com/pub/games_patches/pc/frame.html

The graphics is not enhanced in the way that you will get more
details/objects, but it includes alpha blending, night drive, and some
other nice features. Looks great. You will furthermore be able to toggle
every effect, and see excately what the different thing does to the final
look of the game.

Yes it is.
Get someone to copy any Track directory from Icr2. Including new tracks.
Zip it and send.
Cut n paste works, no problem.
Have done this many times.
Better yet, ask around. some one can lend you the CD. copy it.etc......

It is not possible to get the enhanced version (with the good looking

believe me, the only thing that you will be missing is the 5 enhanced
tracks that use 16 bit textures.  the game will look 100 times better
than before using the rendition exe. so in a way, it is "enhanced", you
get the bi-linear filtering, anti-aliasing and amazing framerate.
The *.exe file can be found at:
ftp://ftp.sierra.com/pub/patches/sports-sim/
under the name icr2rend.exe
it is a self extracting archiive, so extract the indycar.exe file into
your indycar directory, then you must copy the speedy3d.uc file found
in any rendition game directory to your indycar directory. Run indycar
and it will be enhanced minus the extra eye candy on 5 of the tracks...
