This is just a short letter to ask the guys a Papyrus to continue supporting Indycar I. I am probably going to get alot of flak for this attitude but I don't care. I have upgraded my computer for several years to play simulators. I have several flight sims and racing sims and I think they are the only games worth playing. However I am not buying another game or video card until the next generation of 3D video cards come out I have read that they will support texture mapping. When these come out I will go to the computer store and buy Indycar 3 4 or 5 only if it supports on of these "new 3D cards". In the meantime I really enjoy Indycar 1 with one exception, and I have seen this mentioned here before and it is so annoying that I hardly play the game at all anymore. It is the BUG that causes your opponents to almost stop in the turns. I am tired of being two laps up on the entire field only to rearend some idiot 10 laps before the end of the race. I encourage other like minded ICR1 users like myself to add to this thread and show Papyrus that they AND all software companies MUST continue to support products after the release of the sequel. There are people who can't afford the latest greatest everything needed to run the latest greastest game! NOW PLEASE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ICR1 AND WRITE A PATCH FOR IT!!!!!! Thanks for listening Will Maxwell

I am probably going to get alot of flak for [snip] Nice try, and I agree with you(I can't run ICR2 well on my system). I really don't think it'll matter much if Papy has already decided not to support it. I mean, would you expect them to support INDY500? The game is over 5 years old. From a business standpoint, where do you draw the line? I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!? Eldred Pickett

I agree with continued support. I am also very disappointed that all of the internet races have moved to ircii and will not support irci. I am not going to buy ircii because the difference between the two is very little (I have a 486 dx2/66...sorry, I can't afford a pentium). As for being two laps up on the feild...It's been awhile since I've played irci but if the option is there to raise the computers AI use it and the race is much more fun and challenging. Race on and may your engine never fail John

Hmmmm which from what I read is also an incomplete program with people whinning for a patch. Also I don't consider 80 bucks reasonable for a patch I paid a lot of money for my ICR stuff I have all of it. The expansion packs et all. If you think I am going to spend anymore money at Papyrus just to be let down again you and Papyrus are crazy they have lost me as a customer someone will beat them with a better properly tested product and me and my wallet will be there.

Well, the way I see it, it's called progress. Of course, with your mentality, they would have just updated Indy500 and never came out with ICR1. Move up or be left behind! Go #6 Mark Martin,#16 Ted Musgrave & #99 Jeff Burton - Jack Roush Racing!! NASCAR Racing!! http://camalott.com/~sean/nascar/nascar.htm <--NASCAR Racing Sim page

That was MY reply to him...'where do you draw the line?' I'm not too crazy about ICR2 either, but I can't do anything about it... :( Eldred I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!? Eldred Pickett
