World of Outlaws Sprintcars..

I purchased a new computer last week and decided to buy WOO Sprintcars. Went to plug in my MS FF Wheel and guess what? No serial game port. So today I got one of the last USB wheels in town. So far so good. Loaded the game, did a few laps, won a race and changed to career mode. Car handles like crap so I went looking for my old folder of setup sheets, for the original DTR SprintCars and they are gone!! Must have chucked em out in a clean out years ago. So my question is, does anyone have or know were I can find some setups? I probably thought I wouldn't play again. Thanks russell

I take it you didn't even notice the lack of a load setup option? There are basicly 6 setups saved for each track. One for each of the wetness settings. It holds your last setup used in each one of these slots. So if you make a change and it sucks you better remeber what you had before because its gone. And you'll need to remember it for a while because the track wetness changes for each session of the race event so you may not even get back to the original wetness/track combo for some time. You can blame this setup one game consoles. Since they made this title for both consoles and PCs they had to go to with the worst of each. WoO can be fun to play, but if you really want to get into it your better off sticking with DTRSC. For DTRSC stuff you may want to check out ASCRA or Simguys. You should be able to find them with a google search. I believe there is some sort of setup utility at BHMS, but I don't think to many sites have setups posted. Since you can't edit/add tracks or skins to WoO (its that console thing all over again) it wasn't very well recived by the Ratbag faithful. Unfortunatly DTR3 or Saturday Night Racing won't be any better for it. Its too bad that Papy won't get into the dirt racing sims now that they got the boot from NASCAR. MadDAWG

Thanks for the bad news.. If its that bad I might just go back to FS 2004. russell "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > "Russell Hobman" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:bttvre$b7hob$[email hidden]... > > I purchased a new computer last week and decided to buy WOO Sprintcars. > Went > > to plug in my MS FF Wheel and guess what?
