To turn on some of the disbaled features in the Indycar Racing II demo you can do the following. Open the file GAMEOPTS.CFG and using the hex editor change the following bytes. Offset Value (hex) Result 68 01-64 Race distance in % 72 00 PaceCar off 72 01 PaceCar on 89 00 Damage off 89 01 Damage Realistic (great fun) 89 02 Damage Arcade 93 00 Breakdowns Off 93 01 Breakdowns On 97 00 Yellow Flags On 97 01 Yellow Flags Off The offset it how many bytes into the file the value resides at. Offset 0 is the first byte, Offset 1 the second and so on. Before doing this, backup your GAMEOPTS.CFG file by typing COPY GAMEOPTS.CFG GAMEOPTS.BAK If you have any problems, delete your GAMEOPTS.CFG file (a new one will be created next time you run Indycar) or type COPY GAMEOPTS.BAK GAMEOPTS.CFG If you have the NASCAR track pack, you might want to try using some of the tracks with that with the ICR2 Demo. They don't work 100% (actually around 10%!). The colors are a bit screwed and you'll need to start a race to actually get on the track. Starting from the pits puts you out in the wilderness a bit. It may say "Error loading track", but try again and it usually works. Oh and if any of this screws up your system dont' blame me. It worked for me, it may not work for you. Fair enough? Have fun. Jed P.S. Rick Genter, why didn't you have the Damage Option enabled in the demo? It's a nice feature but the arcade setting is a bit tame. Ripping off the back end is pretty impressive but you can't do it in the demo!

Now can someone tell me how to get 40 gal of fuel into the car? _______________________________________ Tim Wortman NASSCAR '95 Series Director Visit the NASSCAR '95 home page http://www.webcom.com/twortman/nasscar/ _______________________________________

>To turn on some of the disbaled features in the Indycar Racing II demo >you can do the following. They certainly work! But don't select the Damage option once you've enabled this. It'll turn it off again! Also, I noticed in a race at Michigan tonight that despite having Damage on Realistic (I kept pranging the car on the Pace Lap so it was definitely on) during the race it turned off again. There was a major pileup in the grandstand section and all I could do was slam on the brakes. I MINCED the guy in front of me but I came out unscathed. Not to worry though. It'll be in the shops any day now. Stuart. -- From the bedroom of Stuart Booth, Somewhere in Guildford, England...
