I was just wondering what others who use ICR2/CART to run IRL cars do to get the speeds closer to real life. I'm thinking that turning down the opponent strength to around 95% or so, and turning down the boost to 5 or something (and leaving it there) may give realistic speeds and I'm just looking to see what others have found to work. --- Jet Jaguar I have a spam blocking address.

a while ago, The Sim Project released an IRL patch for ICR2 which was really awesome. Hopefull they will follow up the patch this year. It had a lot of promise to it.

Maybe edit the RELS and BLAP sections of the track TXT (the former being the opponent % of qual speed, the latter being average qual speed)... Calvin ---- So, AOL has a service in Estonia?

Does anyone know where I might find this patch? I've seen a few references to it on the web, but the links were invariably dead. --- Jet Jaguar I have a spam blocking address.

The patch was made by http://www.simracing.com/simproject go to the forum at the bottom of the page and ask there. The creator of the patch will give you more info. And I must say your anti-spammer thing is absolutely brilliant.

Lighten up dude! The IRL concept is a good one, and eventually (I predict by 2005) the two series CART & IRL will have either merged back into one, or CART will be left behind as the IRL train, by then owned by NASCAR leaves the station.... BTW, I've got an IRL Carset for ICR2 if you want one, but it's a season or two old... Also you might be able to find the IRL sim by ABC Interactive "Road to the Indy 500" in your local PC stores bargain bin? The AI of the game sucks, and it was one of the first racing games to require/support 3D so the graphics are good but nothing like say SCGT or ToCA2 however you can run Indy and it also has Sprint cars, Midgets and the like at places like Winchester, IRP and Eldora! Which for me was enough to spend $20 on just to fiddle around with :-) Also, John Bodin who frequents this forum has a website in support of that game... Cheers Jay J

I just discovered that my links to The Sim Project IRL98 patch are dead links (sorry). I may see about hosting this as a part of The IRL Insider Magazine site, if The Sim Project views it as a "dead" project. -- John Bodin Publisher, The IRL Insider Magazine http://irlinsider.adnetweb.com/ On Sat, 15 May 1999 00:52:49 GMT,

I've got a 40-car carset for the current season (I think I got it at either The Pits or Sim ***world) and a IRL carshape. My plan is to run Pole Day and Bubble Day with 40 cars, and use an editor to winnow the field down to 33 based on those results. Oh, and I think I'll stick with ICR2 for now because it is a known quantity for me. I've got all my setups and everything, and I'd be starting over from scratch with a new game when all I want is to run a single race (the forbidden "Indy"). --- Jet Jaguar I have a spam blocking address.

What, Indy? Indy, Indy, Indy? You mean Tony George? Tony George, Tony George, Tony George?

Next you'll be telling me you have a car painted GREEN to run at the 'yard. Oh and if I were you, who so foolishly tempts fate, watch out for falling Pianos! ;> dave hernie

How'd you guess? I'm green #13. I always wear a helmet. :-) --- Jet Jaguar I have a spam blocking address. Replying to me is like pulling teeth. Visit my crappy home page at http://home.att.net/~chmilnir/ MSTie #54297 The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.

Tony Stewart doesn't own IMS, Tony GEORGE does...Not for long though, I'm leading a rebellion in Indy that will take the track back, and hand it over to the true drivers of CART. -CH/\INS/\W?
