I've just bought ICR V1.05 and was also wondering where the road texture was. Thanks for the info Ken. Looks like I'll have to get that extra 4Mb earlier than I thought. As a newcomer, I'd be grateful for some advice: I've spent all my time so far at Milwaukee, and have managed to get upto 167MPH in practice. Unfortunately the car is so fidgety that as soon as I actually race anybody I tend to fly into the barriers or other drivers. I'm running 7' Rear and 9' front wings, stiffest Anti-roll bars and 1" stagger. My tyres seem uniformly (IMO) hot, although Front Right is well over 300' for most of the race. The thing is - I don't know if this is a good setup or not. Should my car be so fidgety ? Or is this a consequence of being on the limit ? I think what would really help would be an example setup (a good one, but not necessarily someone's prized super-duper secret formula) with explanations as to WHY a 13' rear wing with minimum ARB's and soft shocks is better than 7' with Full ARB's and suspension at 100%. My problem seems to be that I have so many variables to adjust I find it very hard to optimise them, especially as I don't know what a 'good' setup feels/behaves like. Can anybody help me ??

Richard Freeman, do you deny telling Sheriff Hartman the following: I'm probably way off base here but I was having the same problem. I could drive qualifying laps and get pole position, but as soon as the race started it was demolition derby time. On my system the big problem was that the frame rate dropped dramatically with all those other cars on the road. I went into the options menu and cut back the number of opponents way down, and I found I could control the car again (and I didn't have as many obstacles to dodge). I don't know if this is Your problem, but it's a suggestion. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a dog for a friend and booze for a friend; but with a woman for a friend you'll wind up drunk and kissing your dog.
