Crashing into walls

Hello all you ICR-racers. Is there anybody else out there who has been kinda sucked into a wall in ICR.This has happened twice to me, first in Toronto and then in Australia. I raced both these circuits,and I was leading at the time.I didn't crash in the wall,though driving very close to it.All of a sudden I hear a sound of a serious crash,and then I disappear into the wall.In Toronto there was a huge cloud of dust in the air,and my screen went gray.In Australia I was literally stuck inside the wall.I saved both these incidents,so if anybody wants to see them, feel free to ask. And, oh yes, I was using Indycar.exe vers. 1.04. -- Helsinki Institute of Technology/Automation Engineering *********If it doesn't kill you,it can only make you stronger.**************** ******************************************************************************

At least I am not the only one. This has happened to me (I forget the track) several times. Pretty interesting to watch a replay of this!

A more bizarre experience: The game was glitching after I tried an unproven crack and while testing in Long Beach I had "local yellow" - my car wouldn't go faster than 100 in some areas of the track, and, which was kind of cool, tire smoke was*** around for several laps. I had smoke in every corner, fading really slowly. I reinstalled the game and never could repeat this glitch.

When I checked the replay it showed me crashinging into the edge of the pit wall and I ended up inside the pits but stuck on the wall.

Yes, you mentioned two tracks that have surprised me in this way also. In fact, I recorded replays of the anomalies and plan to send them up to our sitre at didnt.doit.wisc.edu/Racing/ICR/Replays. If you refer to your ICR manuals, my incidcents occurred at Toronto in Turn 5, and at Australia near the exit of the Pits, from the track side. And I was using INDYCAR.EXE version 1.05. Ralf

writes: Yeah, that's happened to me too (v1.05). In fact, I've pretty much "memorized" where there's program crashes occur, because they always happen in the same general area. For Australia, they occur somewhere between the start-finish line and the end of pit road. In Laguna, it happens when entering Turn 9, the left-hander after the Corkscrew. When I checked the replays, it seems like I drive along kinda normal, then there's one graphic frame of greenish-gray, and the next frames I'm doing 360s, spinning uncontrollably. Other times, the program crashes actually throw me out of the ICR program. Oh, well. +---------------------+--------------------------------------------+ | G.

Twice at Laguna I've been going up the hill before the corkscrew and was instantly transported out into the grass on the other side of the grandstand, spinning madly. After stopping the spin, I was able to drive back, right through the grandstand, and back onto the track. -- Mike Corrigan

I have only had two experiences of this sort, and they both occured during race. I've never had a problem in practice (and I've logged significantly more hrs in practice than race). At the end of the first straight in Toronto, I bounced off the wall at many, many times the velocity that I "brushed" the wall, at an angle that defied the laws of physics. At Michigan I was brushed off the track and onto the infield without warning or provocation. I contacted Papyrus with the details, and they told me this was know as "The Hand Of God Bug." Has any one else contacted Papyrus about this and what was their response? Thanks All (I'm going to Mid-Ohio on Friday and Sunday this year! Hurray)
