Is this a known bug, and will there be a patch for it? It seems to me like this would be a rather simple thing to correct. <<< Yes, this is a known bug. Rick Genter Technical Lead, IndyCar Racing II Papyrus Design Group, Inc.
A question for Mr. Genter: What's the deal with the oval track lap speeds in ICR2? The speeds indicated by the pit board aren't the true lap speeds, but usually about one to two percent higher than reality. I used my own stop-watch and checked the accuracy of the dash-mounted timer and it seems to be accurate enough that it wouldn't cause the differences in speeds that I have been figuring. The numbers I get figuring the lap speeds with the timer are always lower than those indicated by the game. (track length in miles) --------------------------------------------- (lap time in seconds)/(3600 seconds per hour) Is this a known bug, and will there be a patch for it? It seems to me like this would be a rather simple thing to correct. Regards, -Dirt-
