As we all know, the version of ICR2 that comes with the Screamin' 3D
card comes with 5 "enhanced" tracks. As soon as I bought it I just had
to know how to "enhance" Indianapolis. A HUGE amount of thanks goes out
to Shane Pitkin of Velocity Motorsports, Domm, and also those who
responded to my earlier posts and questions. After blindly swapping
files, I was pointed to Shane's page...
[link lost in import]
He has a beautiful picture of an enhanced Indy. After seeing that I
just HAD to figure this thing out. Shane doesn't mention what files
exactly were swapped (unless I missed it) to create his enhanced Indy,
so alot was still guesswork. After my hours of work, I thought I'd pass
along what I have so far and see if anyone else would like to share
their choices.
To make this simple, I'll list this in 3 columns: 1) What file was
REPLACED, 2) What file was used to replace it, 3) Where the new file was
extracted from.

Obviously the enhanced Michigan track was my first donor. I didn't keep
track of these files until AFTER I was done, so it's possible I screwed
up something here. Typos are also possible. If so, let me know. For
those who are interested in doing this yourself, check out the page
listed above. It was VERY helpful and I would still be clueless without
it, so thanks again to Velocity Motorsports and Domm!!!!! If anyone
wants to contribute other track conversions, please do! Talladega is
next on my list :) I can post images of my conversion in the binaries
section if requested. When I started, all I wanted was new walls and
clouds in the sky. As you can see, a LOT more got changed. I have to
say that the trees made the most notable difference.

Eric,
Thanks for the detailed info. Shane, Domm and Velocity Motorsports
made my year with that explanation too.. Problem was, I fiddled around
with enhancing the different tracks, and didn't bother to take notes
so I could post the changes. I'll have to keep track of it from now on
so other people will have an easier time.
Oh man, Indy is beautiful now,,
Just watch out for AJ and that under the ear smack of his.....
