Finding Nascar version ?

I see in "The Pits" there is an upgrade to version 1.21, but how do I find out which version I have already ? I don't see it when it loads, and there's nothing on the box/disk. Anyone know ? John -- John Hartridge | Crosfield Electronics Ltd, ext 3282 | Three Cherry Trees Lane,

Wrong. The track pack only installs version 1.2, not 1.21. 1.21 is essentially 1.2 but with a few modem fixes. -- Kenneth http://www.rocket.git.net http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/6224/index.html #Speed on us.undernet.org, IRC _______ _______ ______ __ __ ______ _______ / ____ / / ___ / / ____// / / / / ____/ /___ __/ / / // / / / / / / / / _/ / / /____ / / / /___// / / / / / / / __ / ____/ / / | ___ \ / /__ / / / /____ / / \ \/____ / / |_| \__\_____/ /______/_/ \_\___/ // > >I see in "The Pits" there is an upgrade to version 1.21, but > >how do I find out which version I have already ?

IF YOU HAVE THE TRACK PACK INSTALL YOU GOT VERSION 1.21 Tom Wardell http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/2171

If you have Track Pack along with NASCAR, you have version 1.2 If you have plain NASCAR, you have 1.0 Better go get it...

Not necessarily. If you install the track pack it upgrades your NASCAR version to 1.20 or 1.21 depending on when you purchased the trackpack, but you could reinstall 1.1 on top of that and it runs just fine. When you run the program look at the lines that appear just before the Opening graphic page. Somewhere on there it should say what version you are running. You have to look fast because it stays on the screen only a couple of seconds. David

You should be able to find the version number on the opening screen that is displayed while the game is loading. Kyle Langston

Got it?? The current versions of NASCAR are: 1.0, 1.1, 1.2(with Track Pack) and 1.21( fixes modem problems and is the latest.. But no fix for the "cross weight bug". take care.. Julian Data

You'll see some stuff about DOS4GW, then the NASCAR version number, then the sound card init. : : : IF YOU HAVE THE TRACK PACK INSTALL YOU GOT VERSION 1.21 : : Tom Wardell : : http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/2171 : This is simply NOT TRUE. My version of the track pack does include a patch for the game, but only to version 1.2. Did you notice the caps only on the NOT TRUE, kind adds emphasis doesn't it. There really is no need to yell, I can "hear" you quite well (unfortunately). Just because the 'net is world wide doesn't mean you have to yell. TTFN ;^) Kev
