Does anyone know if there was a patch for ICR2 when it came to yellow flags? I was racing last week when the yellow flag came out. And all of the cars slowed down to about 30mph, even though the pace car was well ahead of them. In other words, they did not catch up to the lead pack. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ed
I don't remember if there was a patch that speecifically fixed that problem, but I do recall that there was a patch that had SOMETHING to do with yellow flags. Patch it up to version 1.2 and you should be good to go. I've never had that problem before, and I'm running 1.2. Normally when I see them going that slow it is because you are out of sequence and they are waiting for you to take your rightful position...I think. >Does anyone know if there was a patch for ICR2 when it came to yellow flags? >I was racing last week when the yellow flag came out.

There are no patches that fix that paticular problem, that I'm aware of. Sierra's website has all the patches made for ICR2. If you have CARt Racing, then all the patches are already done. The main reason the cars are going slow is that the cpu thinks another car must be lined up ahead of them. The only solution I can suggest is to pass them and try and drag the cars behind you past. Possibly this will free up the cpu's brainfade. Remember with Cart Cars, they do NOT race back to the start finish line. When the Yellow comes out, you slow down immeadiately. dave henrie >Does anyone know if there was a patch for ICR2 when it came to yellow flags? >I was racing last week when the yellow flag came out.

After seeing the patch to make Indy Car II carset to GT cars, i reinstalled ICR2... Man, its been along time since i played this. Id recommend to you guys,like me, that upgrade to a new,faster,better PII since the ICR2 days to re-install this game again. You talk about fast FPS!!! Wowee.. its almost like real time.. You pass cars at an unbeliveable rate and the handling is very responsive. It is amazing how this engine is almost ident to N2!! All commands are the same and the graphics/handling/etc are almost ident. I think that ICR2,N2,N99 are all but the same with new car sets and tweaks. Now that is a long time engine life! PassedYa

Hi Marc, I'm still tuned to TSP for the new CART98 carset (the one with that fantastic new carshape!)... Don't let me down! A. Renault
