ICR2: how to modernize?

are people out there with their need for a CART sim playing ICR2 or CPR? I kinda liked CPR only to do hotlaps on. Racing with other cars on the track was completely wack. Anyway, I sometimes see mentioned that people are still playing ICR2. Are there current carsets available and any other kinds of updated patches/mods/etc? If so, where can I find them? Thanks in advance -Jeff

I play it all the time. The key is to run it in DOS not thru windows. Go to Pits.Com, Simracing.Com and there other sites with last years carsets along with some other addon tracks like Chicago.

Traction was accurate I say, unless you never patched it. There was a bug in the software. Ok the momentum was maybe a little high on mid-speed corners. If you want, just play with the TIRES/TIRE2 line in the track.txt to change the track grip. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

Yes! Most people have had serious framerate problems with the WIN95 version. Maybe you're running it on a PIII and the speed of the machine is making up for the lousy code? BTW-the menus in WIN95 are nicer to look at than the DOS ones, but I've always had problems everywhere else with this version. EldredP wrote:

Ok - I think I was running it in a dos *window*. I thought everyone was saying you had to boot to DOS just to run it... Nevermind.<g> Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Own Grand Prix Legends?
