*** TSP - NEW DASH FOR ICR2!! ***

NEW DASH FOR ICR2/CART RACING!! The Sim Project now has available for download Beta-1 of its WSC Dash! This is the start of the WSC patch series, and we're happy to introduce you to the very first (of hopefully many) modified dashes for ICR2/CAR Racing! New to the sim is a working analog tachometer, against a carbon-fibre dash. More updates, including enhanced digital readout (gotta' have it!) and other images, to follow shortly. Thanks to Rob Buis and Klaus H?rbrand for the needed info and tools! =) The patch contains a couple of batch-files for the images, and you have your choice of downloads: 1) ICR2/CART Racing 2D Version: For Regular ICR2 2) ICR2/CART Racing 3D Version: For Rendition ICR2 Both are available for download at The Sim Project: [link lost in import] Have fun with the files...More to follow shortly. =) Cheers!

NEW DASH FOR ICR2/CART RACING!! SNIP!! I know this is only beta Marc... but is it still an "open"***bit... i.e. no roof etc.. From the pics. on your site i find it hard to tell... Good work anyway... keep it up so we get be able to race real prototypes.. -- Best, Edwin Solheim ed_ on NROS The Paddock - a legendary site..: http://home.c2i.net/thepaddock Cheek Junior Team: http://home.sol.no/~solhmrek

Ah ha! I guess you also didn't notice that it's for an upcoming WSC patch...BTW, they don't have roofs. ;) Seriously, Some of us at TSP have been throwing a few other ideas around, and several had suggested F1***pits, as well as updated CART dashes. We'll see... BTW, I only did the art...none of this would have been possible without Rob and Klaus working on the code. =) Cheers! Marc

Please, oh please keep workin on an wsc patch:)) Is it possible to create a paintkit for these patches? How about new sounds?We will definitely need a nice V12 sound, as well as a rumbling V8 for the Ford/Aurora engines...anyone made a good V8 sound yet?

Oh yeah, now i remember... it was a very early 1st of april prank...!!! (Did you buy it? :)))) No seriously Marc, Of course i made a fool of myself...

I wouldnt be writing this now.. :)) Keep up the good work! -- Best, Edwin Solheim ed_ on NROS The Paddock - a legendary site..: http://home.c2i.net/thepaddock Cheek Junior Team: http://home.sol.no/~solhmrek

Hook, line and sinker. ;) Hey, I really appreciate the response over this carset! I have fun messing with the sim to begin with, and anything I can help contribute to *your* enjoyment is enough satisfaction for me. =) I'll do my best...I have a lot of friends helping me! Cheers!

Well, what are you waiting for, bring a tape recorder down to Mr. Downings office, and have him rev it up!!:))What about those lovely flame-belches, any chance of that happening too??:) Matt -- Matthew Birger Knutsen Cheek Racing Cars (http://home.sn.no/~kareknut) "Racing cars is like dancing with a chainsaw" -Cale Yarborough

> Well, what are you waiting for, bring a tape recorder down to Mr. > Downings office, and have him rev it up!!:)) I wish !!! I have a tape that I made a Laguna Seca in 1992 of the Mazda Works RX792 GTP car both in the pits Idling (wup wup wup wup) and at speed. Trouble is that I recorded it with a boom box so sound quality is worse than bad and secondly that the other cars in the back ground make it impossible to isolate the Mazda sound. Also the idle is so lumpy that it just didn't work (in the sim) at speed. The sound of that 4 rotor engine at 10 grand is almost like a high reving V-12...absolutely beautyful !!! Right now I'm using Marc's F-1 engine sound that I shifted the pitch up. Sounds like an F-1 V10 reving about 26,000 RPM. Not a Mazda but close enough. Man you are makin' me drool. Those flame-ups are great !!! Trouble is that all the cars (in ICR2) would have to do the same. Maybe an all Mazda series ???? Well it's a nice thought but I know the guys at TSP have their hands full just doing the WSC dash so I'll be content just to get that.

Interesting! Well, I'd guess it would actually be possible to drop one of the Downing people a note, and tell them what we are up to. I'm sure they would find us a prime noise source....Or, I could try and see if I could sneak into their pits at Le Mans in June and ask. I easily got into the R&S garage two years ago, snapped pics till my camera was glowing! I know the Downing guys are real enthusiasts, so I am crossing my fingers:) Yep, I really look forward to getting those goodies from TSP. If I could find the time to understand how to paint those (eventual wsc) cars, I'd have a ball!:)) Matt -- Matthew Birger Knutsen Cheek Racing Cars (http://home.sn.no/~kareknut) "Racing cars is like dancing with a chainsaw" -Cale Yarborough

Get them to give us the sounds preeeeeeeety-pleeeeeeeze! =)) Cheers! Marc -- Marc J. Nelson Sim Racing News - http://www.simnews.com <remove '_*_' before replying>

Why don't you try and model the new Penske's. I have heard they are so low they had to put the digital dash on the steering wheel cuz there wasn't room for a normal setup. dave henrie
