TIR Questions

Now that the patch for TIR enabled me to run the game (I had a DirectX problem), I'm getting into it. But I have a few questions: 1. Is there a way to bypass the opening video? Hitting ESC doesn't work.... 2. I read on High Gear that TIR supports multiple controllers. I'd like to use my TSW peds with my LWFF like I do in many of my sims. Is that possible? If so, how? (I suspect that the "Multiple controller support" may only mean that Player #2 can use a different controller....) 3. And finally.... I downloaded the "Car Configurator", but cannot get it to work. I installed TIR into the default directory and the configurator can't find the files it needs. Can someone provide me the exact path that I need to type into the Configurator? Thanks! And have a Happy Thanksgiving to all! Bert

Try this: C:\Program Files\Empire Interactive\TIR\DATA\CARS\ you have to have the \ at the end of CARS or it won't work. ------------------------------------------------------ Thanks, Aaron Markham http://www.cardomain.com/id/amarkham *RIP Ayrton Senna & Dale Earnhardt*

There are at least 2 opening videos, and hitting escape doesn't work. You have to hit enter to bypass the vids. Iain "Fat Slag" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I believe the command line /nostream disables the videos. -- Joe M.
