a few icr questions...

Hi out there, netters... Just a few hopefully easily answered question.. 1 Where do I find a patch to replace the sound in ICR!? Already installed 1.04, nice game HORRIFFIC Sound Barely better than the original Indy500. If Microprose could do it in F1G, Papyrus should, too! 2 A little while ago someone posted an article about a F1GP & ICR ftp site Turns out to be a Mac, therefor (sorry kids) not working very well as a server, timing out constantly. Any replicas of around? I am looking for setups and the likes.... 3 Did i miss something? a blown front tyre, and still i go round'n'round at 180 mph, no problem steering, same with accellerating on the grass! There is no hidden REAL REALITY switch somewhere, or is there? 4 How about a nice editor like f1ed2 for ICR? Any GIVERS?? Ah well, nothing's even virtually perfect...... Thanx Thomas

What kind of sound board are you using? F1GP sounds like ***compared to ICR on a basic 8-bit soundblaster. If you have a Gravis - well, that should even be worse... You must have THE worst connection on the entire internet, since about 20 people connect and SUCCESFULLY download from that Mac. At least it doesn't crash as often as that 486/66 I try to run ICR on - can you spell "divide overflow" ;-) also - if you looked around in that site you don't like because it's a mac, you'd actually find out where else to look. Sorry, but I can't help a prejudiced person any further. Are you talking about F1GP? Blown tires didn't even exist! so - we're getting a bit closer to reality - and if you noticed last weekend: Villeneuve t-boned Hiro at 120mph, ripping apart that car and LOST a wheel, but still drove it to the pits. Obviously hasd steering, just like Micheal Andretti, who lost a front wheel and drove her home... Maybe you wanna look in that Macintosh archive again? Not for you

--- JUst thought I'd add my 2 cents as well. Too bad the comp. drivers in ICR couldn't 'nurse' their cars to the pits once in awhile. Some of the do-called accidents involving comp. cars are really minor. I can get my car to the pits, on most occasions, they rub tires, they're out. Also, an irratation of sorts, the moment a comp. driver begins spinning the yellow is out instantly, Christ, I can spin all the way down the front stretch and the yellow won't fly (until I 'collect' somebody, that is :) --- Wanted to also reiterate on the comp. pit-stop problems. I was about 55 laps into N.Hampshire the other night (about the range of a tank of fuel- close enough anyway) and a yellow ironincally came out. Well, I dove into the pits-fine- the comp. cars didn't. 2 to 3 laps later they all flocked in. Too bad they couldn't pit a bit more on yellow's especially when that close to runnin on empty. I know this has been discussed here but I just noticed a prime spot where they really should have and didn't. That ye'all be interested. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ | "And I command you to | | _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ | kneel before the God of | | _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ 20th Aniversary | Thunder and Rock n' Roll"| | _/_/ _/ _/ _/ (1973-1993) | KISS --> Destroyer | | _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ | Chris Goucher | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Christopher Goucher This be the end My opinions are MY opinions (so be gentle! :) )

Peter, Nice rebuttle, how about telling the rest of us where this Mac server is? I'd love to poke around there and decide for myself how fast it is. Thanks! -Chris LeMasters University of Chicago

Oops! Found it! Now I see why you were so upset with the original poster (your site, eh?) Anyhow, for the record, it runs quite quickly and is nicely organized. Thanks for making it available! -Chris LeMasters
