ICR2 : Over rev light

I've installed the patch and the over rev indicator light still doesn't work. Is there a fix for this?? Thanks

The overrev light comes on at different points depending upon which chassis you select. Haven't tested the Penske chassis yet, but for the Lola it is 13,000rpm and for the Reynard it's 13,500rpm. Engine choice is not a factor. Clark Archer Speed Tribe IVGA #3920 1996 Lola Honda Firestone

Soapbox on IMHO Papyrus aka Sierra has gone in the dumpster. The patch was a joke that they waited nine months to give birth to. The quality control continues to be poor. How could they spend nine months on a patch and link an over-revving indicator light to a chassis make? I just got GP2 today and even though it taxes my machine, I doubt that indycar will be revved up for quite some time. Papyrus does some things right like giving us the options to customize the track, race, driver and car settings but they fall short in quality control, physics of driving the open wheel cars over curbs, sound and the little things that draw you in. Too bad we can't get Crammond to look at what papy has done and incorporate it in his sims (and vice/versa). Soapbox off

The ICR2 patch was actually a "hobby" what they did. You think Papyrus only works on ICR2 after it comes out? Wake up!!!! So what chassis did you ran a few laps on? Lola 74? I might sound rude, but, how can you know how real 1995 Indycars handle? Have you sat in any open wheel cars? Dave.

errrr, I left my Capt'n Crunch decoder ring at work... what does this mean? I think what Jeff was trying to say is that an over-rev light has nothing to do with the chassis, but rather the engine. A Honda should blink the rev-light at a set amount of RPM no matter what chassis option is chosen. Putting a Honda in a Penske doesn't make the engine any stronger (***generally speaking***) than placing it in a Reynard. Certainly, different engines in the same chassis will have different warning levels. No Dave, you don't sound rude ... just silly. eric

This is a kind of non-related question. Does anyone have nascar, and if you do how much better is ICR2?

: This is a kind of non-related question. Does anyone have nascar, and if : you do how much better is ICR2? It depends on what you are looking for in a racing sim. ICR2 has an improved graphics engine which should allow you a better frame rate over NASCAR. If you do go for ICR2, be sure to get the patch to bring it up to 1.0.2. ICR2 also models weight-transfer/traction correctly, whereas NASCAR still has this bug. I think the AI in ICR2 are better than in NASCAR. Other than that the differences really apply to the different race disciplines simulated. -- **************************** Michael E.
