ICR II & Reactor

by Jim Barbier » Mon, 23 Dec 1996 04:00:00

I have been following ICR II/Reactor posts for a couple of weeks &
plan to order one. However, I have never seen the answers to a couple of
questions I have:
  Is the Indycar II on the Reactor a "patched" version ? I am currently
using the 1.02 and would like to continue with it. If it isn't, could I
apply the 1.02 patch and would it affect it the game in any way ?
  Thanks in advance,

Hi Jim,

ICR2-3D is an "optimised" version of v1.02, but doesn't have the paintkit
needed patches.  If you still have PATCHPKT.COM & PKIT102.EXE,
then save these for when you get the card, and then apply as normal.

     -or-

1) Install ICR2-3D
2) Copy the patched paintkit.exe from your original dir to the new 3D dir.
3) Copy any of the converted NASCAR or Indy track folders from ICR2
    to ICR2-3D's track dir (up to 29 tracks total).
4) Get ready to have your socks knocked-off when you start playing!!  ;)

Best Regards,

Yes it is the patched DOS version.  The paintkit is not patched.  You
can find the patch for the paintkit at
http://www.teleport.com/~mcarver/autosim.htm
Just follow the Indycar link.
