I felt the speed more on michigan than in Laguna that is pretty the
same than ICR 1.

The game in SVGA with full details on my P90 Diamond 2Mg, 16 Mg
is not smooth, certainly around 14-15 Frames.

I'll upgrade my P90 to a P133 With a Matrox Millenium on Saturday.

If the game looks better i'll tell, i really hope it'll improve
something.

An over Point:

I haven't find all the cars and drivers (Jacques, Michael, Paul)
anybody knows why ?

Licensing-problems.
I've read in the scale-models group that Players won't even allow scale-models
(toys, kits, whatever) to be made with their colours !!!

Cheers,

This is stupid! But fortunately they won't stop real ICR fans from
making those cars with the paintkit and make them available to other
fans.

If only there was a track editor we could also race at Miami and Indy
500. Please Papyrus, do that editor that would make everybody happy. I
suppose it already exists somehow because I doubt you entered the
track data using a text editor! At least you could provide the specs
like ID software did for DOOM. The huge library of levels is a good
part of the success of that game. Actually, I can't see a good reason
why you wouldn't do it. So tell me why please.

Vince,
Are you using the univbe driver that came with it? It makes a big
difference in frame rate..
Money. Why wasn't Earnhardt in nascar, where was Newman/Haas in Indycar 1.
I'll bet that Little Al won't be in indycar either due to his own game
being out. Not to mention Indianapolis and the great Tony George

As the original post mentioned, DOOM's life was greatly extended as a result of
the ability to make the game somewhat fresh for its users. I'm no DOOMer, but I
think the same would be true of Nascar and ICR given a track editor.

As an avid online flite-simmer (AW/CK) I hold dearly to the ideal:

'I want the most realistic flite model possible on a PC, but I want to be able
to do whatever the hell I want to with it.'

I feel the same about Nascar/ICR2.

Actually, Al Unser, Jr. *is* one of the licensed drivers that comes with
IndyCar Racing II.

ICR is successful because of what it is!  Let the Doom hackers go off
and play with something else.

But, since Papyrus will hopefully sends out a paintkit as before and
uses the drivers2.txt as usual, you will soon have all the drivers with
their correct car decals (and a lot of copyright violations :-) ).

I wish Crammond would offer the same for F1GPII.

Good points, all well said Brian.

(Yes, I'm back.)

I've mentioned this before, but it keeps coming back. There is no single
"track editor" for our games. It is a set of very complicated, not very
well integrated tools that takes an experienced 3D smith a month or more
(40 hours a week? hah!) to put a track together. And then you still end up
with drawing order hassles. No, it won't happen, at least not with our
current 3D engine.
