I have IndyCar 1.05 (addition of Indianapolis ONLY to the basic program). I am finding other tracks, apparently Mid-Ohio and a couple more. When practicing on these tracks, there are crew members standing around on the track at the start finish line.... I may be the last on the planet to understand whats going on with this, but could somebody clue me in as to whats happening? Can I remove these crew members? I tried running over them, but the simulation is not THAT accurate.....hehe Anyhows...let me know if this is normal or...?

I think you're driving in the pits buddy. Try the outside lane at Mid-Ohio. -- Abe.

Try the outside lane ;> at Mid-Ohio. ;> I found out what it was: The \indycar\tracks\* directories have a text file that is required for track info etc. It is called for example: NAZARETH.TXT I had downloaded some replays from didnt.doit.wisc.edu. The zip file(s) for the replays looked like this: NAZARETH.RPY NAZARETH.TXT When I unzipped them to the nazareth (or whatever track they were for) directories, the .TXT file overwrote the .TXT file in the original directory and caused many crazy things to happen. A suggestion might be that people uploading zips of their replays shouldnt name the descriptive text file with the name of the required text file in the indycar\tracks\* directories..... just a thought.... I'm back to racing again, and I will be more careful with unzipping foreign stuff into the directories in the future.. fb | flames.ignored.agreement.expected.questions.considered | | your.mileage.may.vary.do.you.know.where.your.xist.is ? | | or.more.importantly.when.your.xist.is ? |
