Hi I am a GTP freak and downloaded the GTP series carsets for INDYCAR 2. I also have the dashboard and the IMSA file and everything else on disk, but have NO IDEA what to do to load it into the sim. Honestly --------- I will probably NEVER go back to the indycars, and will keep the sim in the GTP mode, so all I want to do is have someone explain IN PLAIN ENGLISH how to load the dashboard and closed ***pit view (from the drivers point of view) into the sim. I AM NOT a rocket scientist and would appreciate it if it could be fully explained etc, etc, etc. There is simething that I have to load IMSA.EXE, then do this and then do that ---------------------------- WHAT? YOUR asistance would be greatly appreciated Doug
Each file downloaded should contain a readme file that explains the install process. The IMSA.EXE is simply a modified INDYCAR.EXE file that needs to be placed in the main ICR2/CART folder and run as you would the original EXE file (IMSA.EXE -H). For the sound files (and other items) they'll usually contain a batch file that'll patch the neccessary files for you. Unzip these into the oppropriate directories prior to starting (sound patches in the SOUND directory, etc.). The readme file will indicate if any other files are needed to run, such as the PACK/UNPACK tools, etc. Let me know if this helps. To reply via e-mail, replace confused with concentric in the return address. Cheers! Marc
