ICR2 car sets?

5 posts by 4 people · 11 Dec 1995 - 25 Dec 1995

Hello. I've posted my verion of the 1995 IndyCars at alt.binaries.misc. The heading was "IndyCar (V1) 1995 car sets (x/4)". The cars car from the Indy 500. The file name is Cars93.zip, BUT WAIT - these ARE the 1995 cars. Also, these are compatable with IndyCar version 1, not IndyCar II. No warranty - use at your own risk. Tom Bromberger.
Hope this isn't something that I have overlooked, but I haven't seen any mention of anyone making car sets available for the '95 cars, including Villenueve, Andretti, and so forth. I realize that the car editor is always available, but I didn't follow Indycars as closely last season as in the past and doubt that I could make an accurate '95 set. Does anyone know if anyone has a set available for downloading anywhere? Thanks much in advance! Scott

I know the Chassis id and engine stuff but then come several rows of 3digit numbers and I can only guess they relate to horspower, agressiveness etc. Anybody have the definitions??

Hi Dave, The numbers stand for: Car Number..Chassis..Tyres..Power..Traction..Drag...Aggression The Power rating dictates acceleration; Traction governs cornering speed; Agression indicates how ealily the driver will move over when challenged and Drag dictates wind resistance and straightaway speed. The base line for these ratings is 500 and that value is adjusted up or down to reflect relative ratings for each driver. A good Higher ratings for Power, Traction and Drag indicates higher performance. The opposite for Drag. The game randomly selects a number within each range, generating a different number of each session. The wider the range, the less consistent that car will be.

Thanks, I'll compare that to my drivers2.txt and see If I make sense of it. Dave Henrie * JABBER v1.1 * "Die! You Furless Freak!"--WC]I[ -- | Fidonet: Dave Henrie 1:346/25 | Fido -> Internet/Usenet via Net 346 Services
