I may have missed something when I first installed the game
from CD but I believe it assumes Digital sound. If I want
to switch to FM sound how is that done?

Thanks

Use: nascar -f *OR* nascar -f -h <for hi-res>

faster gameplay, less cpu time spent on the audio.

what's the advantage of doing this?

Not forgetting that you'll also "forget" that a lot of the digital
sounds are _exactly the same_ in ICR2... :(

What's going on here??? How many more "shortcuts" are there???

The GFX are the same, the handling is the same, the *everything* is
the same. The only apparent difference with ICR2 and Nascar is the
_body shell_ polygons of the car and the "engine" sound!

And look! The cars are *still* "doing the Dalek" shuffle from side to
side when stationary on the track! And sometimes the cars spin on a
dime like tanks/hovercars if they need to go around an obstacle or
turn around.

To put it simply, there is no reality in the physics/traction of the
cars and tyre grip because it doesn't exist. Ever left the ground
by even an inch? See, it isn't possible as the programming is all
wrong. It's all tricks and workarounds to make it appear "right".

I am only stating the facts. I like Papyrus for what they've done,
and I'll still be buying the games. However, if competitors come
along and I have to make the choice between screwy/fake car physics
and a more realistic/fun model, I know what I'll go for...

The more I play, the more it feels like Nascar (with an added ~$50
price tag).
