ICR2 & Stealth 2 s220

Anyone had any luck running the Diamond Stealth 2 s220 (rendition Verite V2100) with the Rendition version of CART Racing (aka ICR2)? thanks

I have tried every scenario/patch/configuration and can not get it to work with my P166MMX and S220. >Anyone had any luck running the Diamond Stealth 2 s220 (rendition Verite >V2100) with the Rendition version of CART Racing (aka ICR2)? >thanks

: Anyone had any luck running the Diamond Stealth 2 s220 (rendition Verite : V2100) with the Rendition version of CART Racing (aka ICR2)? Have you looked at: http://members.aol.com/snakeracin/snake/v2x00.htm This points to www.bjorn3d.com for the icr2_v2k.zip file. Worked fine on my v2200, not sure about a v2100. Chuck

Or.... you can try the zip file on my web site, instead of making all the modifications yourself. It is made for ICR2, not CART, but I think it works for that version as well. :-) http://www.members.home.net/helipaul/ -- --Paul My "reply" e-mail address has been changed to deter spammers.

yes it can be done, but you will need some files. go to www.bjorn3d.com and look for ICR2 files there are several. Including a batch file and a dos file to fix the card reporting as a V2k. Read the hints and check back in.

The MOST foolproof patch I've seen yet is on the Simproject's IRL site: http://www.simproject.com/irl98.html Enjoy! -- JB (happy Stealth II S220 user) >Anyone had any luck running the Diamond Stealth 2 s220 (rendition Verite >V2100) with the Rendition version of CART Racing (aka ICR2)? >thanks

Took a quick look at that page, aside from some rather questionable subject matter :) , I didn't see anything that would help get ICR2 up and running on a Stealth II., dave henrie

The IRL patch also includes new executables for V2x00 support -- it allows you to run the TSP "IRL" version, or the old familiar ICR2 version, and it took care of all the Rendition problems I was having with my V2100 Stealth II S220. So, despite the "questionable" subject matter, I highly recommend that even CART fans should give Marc's efforts a shot, especially if they own a V2x00 Rendition board. -- JB

Thanks for the extra info...I'll be taking another look at it soon. dave...(who has a broken wheel at the moment ;( )

The IRL patch is specifically for those with the older v1k boards, but should work OK with the v2k patch. The 3D version was never intended to run under Win95, BTW. Personally, I still have an older v1k card, so I don't have the means to test a suitable v2k version. I hope to get a Herc-card soon, tho. In the meantime, if you can patch a stock-v1k.exe for v2k, then send it my way and I'll make the needed changes for future TSP stuff. =) Cheers! Marc

Unfortunately, I couldn't get much more than the dos version to run with the irl patch. I must say from that experience, the update looks and sounds very good. However, the ol DSII stuff still seems to be there, if trying to run irlfast.bat from win95 you just get a black screen with the mixedup colors on the top border...(games is running, you can cycle through the menu's and hear the car engine when you get to practice.) But no visuals. Tried IRLsafe.bat and did(once) get it running, but with the scrambled mirrors and blocky upper dash/windscreen. And, after about 3 laps the test around Atlanta locked up. (this could be due to a flakey 2nd sound card I'm messing with right now...but the dos version ran flawlessly...(except for that dang mouse button trying to take over all the control assignments.) I'll email the THe Sim Project folks and see if they are attempting to make the patch more friendly for the V2k folks.. There might even be a couple of new problems with the Rendition version, as the V2dosfix.exe program couldn't sucessfully patch the irl.exe file. So while I"m hopeful that something, someday, can be done to fix that V2k problem with CART/ICR2....I'm not holding my breath...

Now that we have your attention....Finish up the CART98 carset for your new bodies....!!!!! if you have to get Earl Ma or somebody to spray paint.... :) One question...I beleive your site said the noses are paintable now, does that mean the All American Racers Eagle can have a proper nose job now??????? dave henrie >The IRL patch is specifically for those with the older v1k boards, but >should work OK with the v2k patch.

> Now that we have your attention....Finish up the CART98 carset for > your new bodies....!!!!! Right away sir!! Wouldn't that be something?! =) In mapping the images to the nose, which car do you think I used for testing? ;) I think I was the first to come out with a decent version of the original Eagle just after ICR2 was released (Sierra liked enough to use it in their site banners!<g>), and has always been a personal (painting) subject. BTW, the index page of Racer (Oct.98) has an excellent shot of the new Eagle-987. Ooooh - yummy! =) Cheers! Marc -- Marc J.

> I'm primarily an IRL guy, but the paint job on the AAR Ealges makes me > wish Gurney was making chassis for the IRL!!!! Well...according to the October issue of Racer magazine, the new car has Reynard mechanicals and gearbox. His car design is pretty much just the bodywork. I don't know if I like the change to blue for the front wing, but it's still a fine looking car. I'd read elsewhere that if Gurney doesn't find success with this new 987 car, he's going to call it quits. That would be a sad day for racing. -- Neil Yeatman Ajax, Ontario, CANADA
