NR1999: Using N2 Pocono, Daytona, and Indy

I brought these tracks into my NR1999 tracks directory. After racing the Quick Race screen turned psychadelic colors. I removed all the track logos, shots, and event pictures before racing. I still received the same multi colored screen on exit. Any help? Tom

Tom: Go here and get the track conversion kits. Follow his directions and start over. http://homepages.infoseek.com/~nslr/index.htm Crash

Tom, go get our PitsPatch 99. That will fix all your problems, and also add the Ford/Chevy/Pontiac logos, plus the 1999 calendars.

I guess I would like to know how you fellas know that chassis 1,2 and 3 are Ford, Chevy and Pontiac. I did not read that into the documentation at all. Chassis 2 is supposed to be neutral while 1 & 3 should be low drag and high drag. Perhaps you missed this part of the readme: CHASSIS SELECTION NASCAR Racing 1999 Edition allows you to choose from three different chassis types for both the cars and Craftsman trucks: Car Chassis 1: Balanced for slightly less rear downforce Car Chassis 2: Neutral Car Chassis 3: Balanced for slightly more rear downforce Truck Chassis 1: Balanced for slightly less rear downforce Truck Chassis 2: Neutral Truck Chassis 3: Balanced for slightly more rear downforce Please explain how *your* changing chassis 1, 2 & 3 to Ford, Chevy and Pontiac agrees with what papy put in the readme. I think you guys are all wrong on this one. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

Ahhhhright Greg: Well, when you unpack the layout.dat file you will find these three files pontiac.pcx chevrole.pcx and ford.pcx, amazing enough when you open them in a paint program chevrole.pcx is chassis-1 pontiac.pcx is chassis-2 and ford.pcx is chassis-3 so these "chassis logos" correspond to the "manufacturers logos" as they were in Nascar2. So BE-DAMNED with your readme file and NEVER doubt those of us with superior intellect! ;) hehehe -JH- "Our Lady of Blessed Acceleration don't fail me now" -Elwood Blues-

when I look at the driver info screen, the chassis 1's are chevys, chassis 2's are pontiacs and chassis 3's are fords. go figure.

J Huggins.... Now that was funny :) Andrew B. San Diego

Well, if you look at the drivers who really drive FORD, they are chassis 3. Jeff Gordon and the others who drive Chevys are Chass 1, while Ward Burton and the pontiac drivers are all in Chassis 2. All they did was take the manufacturer's name out of the mix. same thing, different names. easy to deduce.

Remove the -nospam- from the email address. Sorry, I *had* to put it in. I'm receiving more junk mail than ever now.

The chassis in a real Nascar car are all essentially the same (meaning welded tubular frames). There are certainly Ford, Chevy and Pontiac bodies, but no Ford, Chevy and Pontiac chassis. It makes sense to me that papy would try to give us a chassis for shorttracks and one for Superspeedways and one for Speedways, which is what I thought they did with the chassis 1,2 & 3. Which is why I think you good ole boys are wrong :-) Well when you pit it like that who can argue :-) -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

Since I'm from St. Louis, I think your appraisal of my background is a bit off...still. Ford BODIES have superior downforce, which is why they do well at medium sized tracks. Chebbies have little downforce, which is why they are great at superspeedways. Pontiacs are probably the best balanced, which is why they are arguably the best overall body, and have won at both superspeedways and other tracks this year... -- ??Jan Kohl?? **The Pits Performance Team** Computer Systems Programmer USAF Air-Ground Operations School Hurlburt Field, FL Castle Graphics - http://www.castlegraphics.com/ The Pits - http://www.theuspits.com/

Greg Cisko wrote It was like that in N2 Greg... During the development they decided to make those 3chassis a touch different, and they were the same as what is wrote in the readme of NR99. It's just for common sense that people updated the Chassis 1/2/3 to the car chassis we knew from N2. The chassis in N2/NR99 aren't completely different like what you find in GPL, but they do have the minimal difference that makes alot of difference when you become an experimented N2 driver. Especially on the NROS. I couldn't see myself driving something else than a Pontiac on road courses on the NROS. In N3 you might have no chassis or completely accurate chassis like in the 98 WC season. It's a development choice that I would like to know... hehe we need a press release ;) - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard! - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking) - Sponsored by http://www.awpss.com/ on the NROS - "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."--

You can select chassis on NROS? How?
