I was lucky enough to be involved in running a computer games shop at the
time these went out of production.
When the shop closed down (1998) we still had several in stock.
I was able to snaffle two of them :)

Yes, I agree.
I wasn't overly infatuated with the demo but today I bought the retail
release and have tried it at two circuits - Indy (of course!) and Phoenix.

I must admit to being quite pleased with it after being somewhat hesitant
about outlaying AUS$90-00 for the package.
Except for the lack of mirrors it scrubs up pretty nicely and is quite fun,
with just the right amount of "physics" to offer a realism level that is
challenging without being totally over-the-top.

ICS really does bring back memories of what Papyrus' Indycar Racing used to
be like, and that's no bad thing at all.

Now - if we can just get Codemasters to give us rear-view
mirrors............. :)

   you might find a better experience at Indy with the Open WHeel mod that
John Bodin and others put together for F1 C.

   I was afraid you'd ask...Someday I'll figure out a good bookeeping
system that keeps track of what I've installed and where I got it....
(20 minutes later)

ok, here's the link.

http://www.game-connect.com/xrlow/

there are two mods here, the irl based cars and drivers and then lower down
the page basically the same cars but with NAscar paint and drivers.

Have they fixed the problems with the AI not being able to exit or
enter the pits without driving straight through the other cars?

This happens at every oval I've either personally converted to F1C or
downloaded from the ORL/XRL/etc sites.

   I haven't messed with it enough to even know.  However, I do know the
original tracks uploaded with the XRL mod for 2k2 had aiw done by CJ, whose
pretty good at that editing.  I'll ask him what's up with it...

Eldi, have you tried DX9 yet? Apparently it fixed the controller
issues I was having with my TSW2 in all non-Papy titles.

All the best,

uwe

I haven't tried it since my initial install  That was before I had to rebuild
my system.  I loaded DX9 with F1c, I think.  The initial disgust of the Indycar
game meant it wasn't even on my radar anymore.  So I'd have to find that
big-ass demo file to download again... :-(

If you lived closer, maybe.  The shipping on that would make it not
worthwhile...
Thanks anyway.
