Installation:
To install the IndyCar Racing II Demo, change to your
CD-ROM Drive and type:INSTALL and press ENTER.
You will be asked to specify a directory to install
the demo into; hit enter to select the default C:\ICR2DEMO.
Setup:
After installing the program will bring you to
the setup program. You may try to auto-detect your
sound card. However, this may lock on some machines.
If this is the case, you may select manual setup and enter
your sound configurations. The UNIVBE driver is recommended
for systems with video cards with 2 meg of RAM and linear buffer
capability. Run setup from the demo directory by typing SETUP
and pressing ENTER. To run setup after the initial installation,
type SETUP in the ICR2DEMO directory.
To start the demo, type "Indycar" in ICR2DEMO directory.
From the DOS prompt (or in the properties dialog box command line in
Windows95) the following switches are available:
-h (runs IndyCar Racing II in high-resolution SVGA graphics)
-f (Use SoundBlaster FM sound)
-j (Use notebook gameport or Genovation)
How to Setup the Controls
From the Main Menu, use the keyboard arrow keys to scroll down to the
OPTIONS menu and press <enter>.
Choose the CONTROLS menu and press <enter>.
Choose CALIBRATE JOYSTICK-1, if you were not asked to do so when
you started the game.
Choose SET CONTROLS and press <enter>. You will notice a list of
functions that can be assigned to your controller. The number of
functions that you will be able to assign is limited to the type of
controller you are using.
If you are using a standard 2-button joystick then we would
suggest that you set one of the buttons to ACCELERATION and the other
button to BRAKING. The STEERING should be assigned to the LEFT/RIGHT or
X-AXIS movement on the joystick. For REVERSE we suggest simply pulling
the joystick back.
Start Racing
Once you are in the game and have set up your controls you will most
likely want to
start racing. The demo release contains the SINGLE RACE and PRESEASON
TESTING modes. You can choose these modes at the main menu.
The demo is limited to the ARCADE damage setting and cannot be changed.
Spin Recovery: The spin recovery feature is on by default. You can turn
this feature off in the DRIVING AIDS menu.
Driving Views: You can cycle through different views of the car while
driving by pressing the F10 key.
Information Boxes : Additional information boxes may be called up by use
of the following function keys:
F1 Lap Information - Useful info about position and laps completed.
F2 Standings - up-to-date race standings.
F3 Fuels - Shows current fuel and estimated laps.
F4 Tires - Shows tire temperature.
F5 Tires - This box shows tire pressure and condition. Space to
toggle through tires.
F7 Wings - Too much drag at Michigan? Tell your pit crew to lower
those wings.
F8 Wheel Stagger - Tell your pit crew how to stagger your tires.
F9 Pit radio - Know what your pit crew is planning at a glance.
NOTE: The demo does not allow you to change your settings from the F-key
boxes. This feature is enabled in the full version.
Graphics: Graphics and Textures can be turned on and off by pressing
the 1-9 number keys while driving. These may also be adjusted from
OPTIONS/GRAPHICS...
Pitting: Pitting is not enabled in the demo.
Troubleshooting:
If the focus of the menu scrolls up or down by itself, you will need to
calibrate your
joystick. At the main menu, press the "J" key to turn the joystick off.
Then select
OPTIONS/CONTROLS to reach the CALIBRATE JOYSTICK #1 menu.
AWE 32: If you are using an AWE 32 you may encounter problems with the
autodetect sound installation. If this should happen, reboot and use
manual setup.
Memory Issues: If you have trouble setting up your sound during install,
use the Create Boot Disk option from the setup menu and boot from that
disk. If you encounter problems creating a boot disk from Windows95,
restart in MS-DOS mode and run the setup again.
Graphics Problems: If you are having graphics problems, try installing
the UNIVBE driver from the setup menu. Due to differences in video cards
across systems, you may also attain increased graphics performance by
not installing the UNIVBE driver from your system.
