I pulled my old copy of INDYCAR out the other day to try the v1.04 update (I never upgraded from 1.0). I hoped the new version would be a big help (I'm bored with F1GP). No such luck I'm afraid. I still have one big complaint about INDYCAR: On the short tracks my car is very slow on the front straight (about 30 -40mph slower). Have I missed a update? Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix or do I go back to F1GP? Thanks Bob Townsend

Your slowness down the straights is due to your car setup IMHO. Check 1) your boost is at 9, 2) your wings are set for higher speed, and 3) the opponent strength setting is reasonable. If you don't have any setings you have developed on your own, the ACE settings will generally be a good starting point for running at up to 105% opponent strength. I generally can out run the AI cars down the straights, and loose a little in the turns on the short ovals when racing at my MAX. -- DSmith

It's the wind. Wind blows one way along one straight and (obviously) the wind direction (Relative to the car) is the opposite down the other straight. Try changing the wind settings. Don't worry though, it affects the computer cars as well. rJEM _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ Richard J. E.
