ICR II Understeer Problem - PLEASE HELP

O 27 Nov 1995#308160
I have been a racing Sim fan from the beginning. I just bought ICR2 this weekend. Here is my problem. Massive understeer, even on the beginner settings in the game. Every track, every corner. Totally frustrating. Lap times even in Michigan are only 220mph avg, and that is almost scraping the walls in turns two and four. Does anyone else have this problem ? I am running a P5-133 with Matrox Mill card, 16MB Ram, 6x CD-ROM. Unfortunately, I am runnning the game on a keyboard. Is that the problem ? ICR I worked fine this way. Have tried linear and non-linear steering, found that linear helps a little. Still not enough to even be remotely competitive racing for last place ! Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I am sending my computer back to Gateway next week, so I will not be buying a T1 or joystick. I want to play this game before my computer is gone. Everything is average until you play GPF1 2
Both NASCAR and ICR2 and completely unplayable with the keyboard IMHO. Papyrus really should work on this for their next sim. I just hope F1GP2 is as playable with the keyboard as the original. (ever tried using a joystick or a steering/peadl combo on a plane ?)

first off, you need to get yourself a good joystick or the steering wheel. If your computer has those kind of specs, it should be no problem for you to acquire one. Second off, try the ace or qual setup at michigan. after lifting the first couple laps while my tires warmed up, i easily hit 237. this is with a reynard honda ad firestone tires. hope this helps matt satchell

I use a joystick and can run 238+ at Michigan, but as I said in an earlier post, even if I dial in a ton of understeer at Long Beach, after 5 or 6 laps, I get HUGE oversteer going down Shoreline. Can anyone help me - Please.

They aren't supposed to be playable with the keyboard!! Papyrus games are designed for an ANALOG joystick or steering device. Digital joysticks have the same effect as the keyboard. You want the use the keyboard PLAY WORLD CIRCUIT!

I agree with you there William, 100%!!! But I would ditch the joystick also, and get a good yoke, or wheel.!!
