OK I was a BAAAAD boy and I re-installed CART racing. I even added the new CART sound..(ok..not great) and the LeMans conversion of Bullrun2000. Only took me about 20 minutes to remember how to pack and unpack files.. Looking at the jaggies all over the screen got me to wondering.. since the win95 version uses Direct Draw...can a V5 apply FSAA to ICR2/Cart racing? Or the Nvidia software FSAA? The new Reynard body and 2000 paintjobs are very good, but is there a way to expand the windows replay screen. I'm used to at least checking out fullscreen in replay modes Man does that engine REV slow...newer sims have a way of spoiling you for older titles that (at the time) seemed very good. It seems to me I had a tough time not blowing engines because the revs built so fast...after gpl and other newer titles, the engine really seems lifeless. Oh well....it was good to sit back in that old beastie... dave henrie

I really like the look of the LeMans track (if I have the same one). The trees look great and having the people standing of the porches is a good touch. The autobreaking is terrible though. Dave Henrie wrote:

The autobreaking is terrible though. Autobraking is terrible everywhere. Why use it? (other than in pitlane) -Matt S.

there are two LeMans tracks...both are NOT LeMans but ICR2 tracks with different background images. The oldest is Road America converted over to a Euro look, and the one I have tried uses the dat file from the flat Bullrun track(Bullrun2000). The enviroment is different, but the tracks are still the same old ones. probably found it at sim-cyberworld and the track editing project. dave henrie chimp wrote: > what Lemans track? > Where can you get it? > > Got questions?

The one I have is not a track that is the same as the old ones. It even has a banked turn right before the front straight. True, it is most likely a converted track, but the layout is different. Dave Henrie wrote:
