My best was only about 232.xx... ________ Eldred Pickett I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!?

>Can Anyone pleas tel me the best set up for the old INDY 500 by Papyrus, > my best lap is 235.67mph during qualifying I think I did 237......but in the Buick I think my best time was in the 241-242 range (no kidding). But the Buick would only last for 6 laps :) But here's my problem: my SB version of the game doesn't work anymore. I have two legit copies of Indy 500 but neither work with the Sound Blaster. So I can't play the game. If you know where the patch is, e-mail me please thanks. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+

I didn't know there WAS a patch. Mine RUNS, anyway, but it only uses the PC speaker. Is there a patch to use a T1 with Indy500? ________ Eldred Pickett I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!?

My best was only about 232.xx... I bought it recently, and am still trying to figure our how to get it to see my T2 as a joystick... And is there any way around the ridiculous quiz you have to take before you can play it? Wasn't a very good idea to deal with piracy- people can just photocopy the manual, and anyway, half the time I can't find mine or don't feel like looking anything up and abort the game.

I raced it on the Amiga. Choose the red car, the one with the old fashioned analogue dials. It revs to 9000rpm (I think. Definitely red though.) Use mouse control. Digital stick means massive understeer on the corners. Set the wing so that you have one unit downforce on the front. None on the rear. This is for qualifying. Increase each 1 unit for race. Looks silly. Goes FAST. Tyre pressure should be approx 24 psi on left 25/26 on right. (When hot). Medium tyres on right, soft on left. Camber/Stagger? set to max (1inch i think) Press 9 to set the boost to maximum. If you have 5 gals in, leave it at 3 for the first 2 laps (prior to fast qualify). Otherwise your engine will blow. Or you will run out of fuel. Set the gears so that it overrevs from 9000rpm to (IIRC) 12000 rpm on the long straight. You should hit 245+ on the end of the long straight. Reducing the gearing (max 11000rpm) should see you okay to wipe the floor with the competition on the short race. Anything else will probably kill the engine... Don't clip the corners too tight, otherwise you will scrub off too much speed. Leave it running flat out all the time (except accidents. Unless you are mad). Now, give it some welly... >________ >Eldred Pickett >I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!?
