NASCAR 2 - QUESTIONS...PLEASE READ!!!

Okay, I love N2. However, I have a couple of questions. Someone feel free to clue me in and correct me where I am mistaken. As I remember, one of the screen shots for N2 had a sun blinding the drivers eyes...so where is it in the game? (or is it?) I also heard that you would be able to exit the pits if you had wrecked and were able to drive without going a lap down. Then you could come back in for the rest of the repairs. Was that not true? I have a Pentium 200 with 56 Megs of EDO RAM, Intergraph Reactor 3D (Rendition ready) video card. I tried to turn all graphics on and got maybe 10 frames per second. Any suggestions on how to tweek the system? Seems strange that it would run this slow to me. Oh well, such is life. I hope someone can help with the minor problems. Thanks everyone. Lee Mills Auburn, AL War Eagle anyway.

Are you running the renddma.exe version of Nascar2? If you are and are getting these framerates, something is seriously wrong with your system. What kind of DMA performance numbers are you getting with DMAtest? If you don't have it, get it from my utilities page. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences The IWCCCARS Project: Q & A Representative Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

10fps - yuck!!! First of all - turn off the grass and pavement texture. You will never get decent frame rates with pavement texture on - unless you have P600 (didn't I read that someone was beta testing that - right?). I also ditch the crowds - since I find this maze of color distracting and frame rate disrupting (although not always and usually just a little). This should get you to 30fps on your hardware for sure. If not, check out things like your game port (is it on the sound board - some of these are aweful) and sound board. You can also check out your cmos configuration - are your drams set to 60ns, I/O recovery set to a low number of clocks etc. No glare in the product. I think the repair thing is in there - although I have not tried it yet. Heck - I never wreck ???? Good luck. /THansen

You only get 10 FPS because your from Auburn and a War Eagle!!!! Go GA DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember 4 OT's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The abort of repair in the pits is there. I dont remember but I believe while the repairs are going on you hit the F9 key and it will change "repair damage" to " Dont repair damage" You have tio wait a few seconds then the spotter yells out GO. Hope this helps.

After hittinf F9 hit the enter key. this changes the repair mode to let you get out of the oits without finishing the repairs.
