I have a p120 w 48meg ram, s3 trio64 with 2meg vram Alberto Manassero

I use dos 7.0 and get distorted colors also. P150 dynamite 128.

Papy, please HELP!!! > Alberto Manassero I've meantioned this in another post but... Check the "integrity" of the files after downloading. I use PKWARE Unzip/zip. It's shareware and the URL can be found on my links page. This will eliminate 'downloading' as the problem. I got the demo on the third download try, checked the files for corruption, and simply unzipped them to a new NASCAR2 directory. It installed itself. I added my NASCAR1 SOUND.CFG and CONTROLS.CFG files, and it worked just like NASCAR1. I have a T2, and everything worked EXACTLY the same. I have a Dell P75 (Intel Pentium -1 yr old), 16 megs RAM, DOS 6.20, Windows for Wrkgrps 3.11, and a Number Nine FX Motion 2Megs VRAM vid card set at 32768 colors, 800 X 600 resolution, Non Virtual resolutions. I've even been able to run/start the demo (haven't tried to 'race' yet, though) in a DOS session from Windows 3.11. I can run NCR1 completely from Windows. I haven't tried UniVibe yet. Hope this info helps...

Funny that nobody's complained about the missing Ford logos yet. <g> Dave (davids) Sparks Late Night League http://www.sequoia-dev.com/Hawaii/latenite.html

That was probably the first thing I noticed about the game, and it did***me off a little since i'm a Ford fan. I figured it was a copyright/licensing thing. On a related note, I laughed real hard when I saw Rusty Wallace had suddenly become his own sponsor, complete with "Rusty" script on the side of his car. Even thinking about it now makes me chuckle. :)

No beer or tobacco sponsors allowed. I'm sure there will be a few more cars they will have to deal with (23, 25, 33, 41 & 42 off the top of my head, probably others I missed). Dave (davids) Sparks Late Night League http://www.sequoia-dev.com/Hawaii/latenite.html

Damn, that ticks me off!! Why not boycott McDonalds? Doesn't heart disease count? Let's all get our cholest***count up to about 400 and visit the coronary ward of our local hospital. Censorship of this kind really gets me riled. Who dares defend Spam???<g> A game is a game, take it for what it is. Six year olds can decapitate the world with Duke and Doom and blow chunks against the screen and ol' Rusty can put a beer logo on his car?!? The Atlanta Braves had to remove a Marlboro sign that was being shown on TV. How the hell did any of us survive with all this "satanic" stuff we were subjected to when we were young. We all want authenticity, and damn, if the guy is sponsored by dog shit, I would expect to see a pile on his hood. This is just another bandwagon for the "holier than thou" ***s to climb onto. Well, I'm done.....vent ...vent ...see ya at Richmond, Dave. Terry Terry

Terry, I couldn't have said it better myself.... :-) don't worry, I'm sure that Johns guy will remember where he put those Miller logos

I'm with you, Terry. They can watch WC on television and see the cars. They can see the ads in magazines and beer ads on TV as well. But put in a game (that's probably played mostly by 20'ish males) and it's against the law. <sigh> See ya at Richmond. I get dizzy on that track, too much turning... <g> Dave (davids) Sparks Late Night League http://www.sequoia-dev.com/Hawaii/latenite.html

Fortunately, there are creative people out there that will hopefully make "real" carsets after the release of NC2. Terry
