Anyone wishing to try out a beta sound file that changes the motorcycle
noise in ICR2 to that of an Formula 1 car, can do so at:

(Formula 1 (with correct body shapes) cars will be there later in the
week)
The Sim Project is an area that will be dedicated to the enjoyment of
ICR2.
Future projects include IMSA/WSC cars using the ICR2 sim, and a re-
vamping of several ICR2/N1 tracks. Any comments and suggestions are
welcome. :)

This is indeed good news. As it now appears "official" that ICR2 is a
"dead" product. Well at least for "official" upgrades and bug fixes.
Since we now know that Sierra/Papyrus seem to have no intentions to fix
some of the bugs, I think an excellent project is to fix the AI pitting
behavior for Long Beach. This is one of the places where the
1.02 patch broke more than if fixed. I believe this is probably fixable
by modifing the PIT.LP file. I do not understand how these files work,
but I do know that we have a few people out there who do. Maybe we can
have a discussion here in r.a.s. on how these LP files are constructed
and how one goes about modifying them.
It now appears that any improvements and "bug fixes" for ICR2 now rest
in our hands.

I've tried the new sound, checked it out thoroughly for unwanted
side-effects and happily endorse this quality product as safe for human
consumption :-)
Seriously.....it makes a big difference to the atmosphere of the game.

Great news (now if I didnt have this laptop) When I do get a new comp
this year sometime I hope ICR2 will be rejuved. Those yellow bugs need
to go as well as Long Beach prob. BTW has anyone found out how to
remodle the tracks ala Rio, Calif and homestead? This would be the best
(toughest) project for you boys.
I don't think we'll be able to fix the bugs (LB may not be a big deal
though),
but CA would be a snap (mostly new images), and Rio/Homestead might
be a nice project (wanna pay me?<g>)...I think we'll just stick to small
tasks for the time being, and if things go OK, see what happens. :)
Best Regards,
Marc

Please excuse me, but it's been a while since I've peeked in here. Could
someone fill me in on The Sim Project? From what's left of this thread,
I've read about new sounds (?) for ICR2, and the possibility of IMSA WSC
capabilities.

deleted from. What I need is someone who's a guru with 3d files
(primarily 3d Studio). I may have acces to this program, and once
I become familiar enough with it, I may be able to do something
other than simply changing the shape of an object.
However, this is pretty low on the priority list, as I'm trying to figure
out some of the bug-fixes...This may be the more important route,
since I wanted this project thing to make the game more enjoyable.
Geez...I'm starting to sound like a software developer!! ;)
Thanks for the comments and support. :)
