Bruce, Just because someone can prove they have ICR does not make it legal to send them INDY. INDY was part of an expansion pack that was sold separate from ICR. This is PIRATING and is a prime example of why these designers create HALF-ASS sims. -DG
Subject: Re: WHERE CAN I FIND THE ORIGINAL INDYCAR PROGRAM? Cc: >>CompUSA on Long Island, NY has been dumping ICR1 for $14.99 this weekend. >>As far as the Indy track, I've been looking for that one with no success. >>I've checked Sierra, and they say that they don't carry it any more. >>If anyone else has a source for the Indy Trackpack, I'd appreciate the information >I'm on the lookout for this one too, please post any info instead of >e-mailing. >Thanks. >From the home of Mark and Cheryl Ferris Ok, here is how I got my copy of the Indy track straight from Sierra. First I bought ICR1 with the track pack thinking that it had the Indy track in there. When I installed it I notice that it had all the tracks except the Indy track! I got on the phone and called Sierra and told them that I had already bought Nascar and the track pack and that I had bought ICR2 and now had just bought ICR1 so I had a bunch of money tide up in their software. Then I told them that the only reason that I bought ICR1 was to get the Indy track. they gave me the run around about how they didn't support ICR1 because it was made by Papyrus. I told them since the bought out Papyrus that they should support their product. Then he told me that no where on the box did it say that it came with the Indy track and he was right! BUT then I told him that on the INDYCAR CIRCUITS EXPANSION PACK MANUAL on page 8 it list all the tracks and Indy is listed as one of the tracks, so there for I got ripped off and I wanted my Indy track that I paid for. I got put on hold for a while, while he went to go talk to somebody else. He came on and told me that he would see what he could and to call back in a few days. I didn't have to call back because a few days later I got a package in the mail and it was a brand new box with the Indyanapolis Motor Speedway Expansion Pack! It took a lot of arguing and yelling and screaming, but I got my track! I converted over to Nascar and ICR2 and it looks great! Its deffenently the best looking track in the whole series. This worked for me, but I dont guarrantee that it will work for you!
NOTE! INDIANAPOLIS TRACK from ICR-1 For those who want it and can't get it, drop me an email and, if you can provide proof that you have the original game, I'll zip you a copy of the Indy track.

>NOTE! INDIANAPOLIS TRACK from ICR-1 >For those who want it and can't get it, drop me an email and, if you can >provide proof that you have the original game, I'll zip you a copy of the >Indy track. Is this guy some kind of idiot? And we're all gonna ask him for a copy! That is just as bad as taking a copy from the guy next door, and still illegal, JACK ASS! You wonder why Papy/Sierra don't want to try to get INDY for NCR2. It is because people like you abuse the fact that you own a copy or it for ICR1. Yeah, I wanna let idiot PIRATE every game and send them over the internet. Yeah, that would make my humble collection of games UH HUM WORTHLESS. my 0.02 Matt

What a load of crap. You mean that if you bought a copy of MS Word and the manual mentioned MS Excel or MS Office, you'd want a free copy of that too?!? The manual lists the correct directory names for the tracks *available* from Papyrus (at the time the manual was printed, 2 1/2 years ago), *not* the tracks you bought and paid for! Take a look at the cover, it lists the 7 tracks you bought, and does not include Indy! Nowhere else in the manual is Indy listed! Congratulations, you have ripped off a good software company by being an ***. Credit should go to Sierra/Papyrus for trying to keep their customers happy, but *shame* on you for trying such a BS tactic! (Sorry for flying off the handle, but worms like this make me puke [just one step above the pirate slime], and I really can't take it when they come on here and *brag* about it!) Pick one or more: Model Rockets (competition-NERCB) / PCs (even Atari!) / Papyrus ICR-ICR2-NCR / Who needs a life when you have multiple non-lives?
NOTE!... I said "....and if you can't get it, and can provide proof...". If an add-on is out of production or unobtainable elsewhere and proof of ownership of the original can be provided (such as quoting word, line, paragraph, page number from the manual) then "piracy" is not involved. I did not say that I would provide the original......which is required to use the add-on. Read before jumping in, idiot!
I agree. I will make everyone a deal. If you can quote the section about pauseing the game, I will send it to you. Steven Daniels

: I said "....and if you can't get it, and can provide proof...". : If an add-on is out of production or unobtainable elsewhere and proof of : ownership of the original can be provided (such as quoting word, line, : paragraph, page number from the manual) then "piracy" is not involved. I : did not say that I would provide the original......which is required to use : the add-on. Read before jumping in, idiot! Hate to burst your bubble here, but it's still piracy whether the software is in production or not. That company still owns the copyright to the software (it hasn't been over 25 years for it to expire), thus you can't pirate it. It's like saying, "oh, the movie 'Star Wars' has been out of production for quite a few years, so we can start giving away copies of it that we recorded on our VCR." As you and I know, that's not quite true. George Lucas and the distributor of that film will be on your ***faster than you can get that second or third copy out your door. So, what you are doing is still piracy. I wouldn't do what you planned on doing.

What a bunch of horseshit! Babble as much as you want to, but your still Captain Hook. Theres no legitiment way to distribute the indy track legally, without consent from the designerer. I personally dont give a damn who you send a copy to, but dont try to justify stupidity. -DG

This is very interesting indeed. I dont have to worry as I purchased ICR1, ICR2 and Nascar and will purchase Nascar2 when available plus all the expansion packs including Indianapolis. Now Indianapolis is not in production and is not available to the public anymore. Indianapolis is a track that everyone seems to want but cant buy. Piracy is illegal but the temtation to get it by any means must be hard to resist seeing that they know they cant get it legally. I dont know if you were to write direct to the company if they would make a copy up if it was requested. I presume they would. Know doubt I will be corrected if that is not the case but how else are the people going to obtain Indianapolis if the company dont make them up a copy. Shane Lansky Hobart,Tasmania Australia

lack of reguard to reality... Last time I heard, the IMS add on for ICR1 is *still* available from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum Gift Shop. That is, it was last time I heard which was around the time of the 500. Mike -- ___^___ Speed Bump Motorsports... The name says it all.

>lack of reguard to reality... Told you before know need to insult smart mouth. Dont cut the part of the text I wrote saying I could be wrong...!!! The original message from some guy said that it was not in production..!!! Yes EXACTLLY. Last time you heard. Might not be the case now hey. Tell me what is someone who does not live in the States going to do. How do they get. If as you said "Last time I heard" it is at the Indianaplois museum. And you tell me I have a lack of reguard for reality. I think you need to look at your self. Shane Lansky Hobart,Tasmania Australia
