    Sh*t! That video just destroyed all fond memories I had of that game.

    PS: I think you are in the wrong forum for Papyrus products, but I know that Tim has been involved with some ex-Papyrus guys.

    Hello
    Man I have to LMAO at this
    You are really comparing that game (Yes Game I said it) to the current products such as RF2.
    Are you joking or what man not even the sounds are that good let alone the graphics to today's standards.

    I re-read my post to see if I mentioned anything about "comparing" the game to anything and I was right! I didn't see the word "compare" in there.

    Was a Great game, I think IIndycar racing 1 is 1st racing simulation to use 3D texturing IIRC :)

    I still have memory at the game 1st screens
    "Importage from Papyrus, this is indycar racing 2 !"
    Yeah \nn/



    No we are not comparing, just to say those were great simulations and if they were not existed, maybe, LFS, and rFactor were not existed too ;)

    Awesome stuff, that brings back a lot of memories. I bought a rendition verite v1000 more or less just for that game. It added fantastic features such as bi-linear filtering which meant no more squares and i could be wrong but 800x600 res. I used to make enhanced versions of the other tracks as only 6 or so came with the nice 256 colour textures lol. With that fogging effect, man that **** was photo realistic!

    This made me lol. Out of all the things, its the graphics and sound that arent up to par haha. Good to see the simracing community has some consistency!

    FYI this was the cutting edge of racing sims for the day

    I did the same. I think that ICR2 was the only hardware accelerated game I had (played) for that Rendition card.

    The step from F1GP and ICR1 to ICR2 was enourmous. Texture mapping for me didn't really work until we moved past VGA. I think NASCAR Racing was the first SVGA racing game, but I was more into open wheel racing. ICR2 was kind of matched by GP2 but I always liked the Papyrus physics better. It was the best racing game until GPL was launched.

    With the small gradual improvments game by game you tend to not notice the actual huge step that has been made in graphics during all these years.

    It was, "I'm Paul Page. From Papyrus, this is IndyCar Racing 2". Paul Page used to be the IndyCar commentator for ABC/NBC (?).

    I really liked that intro back then.

    for its time (1995-1996?), the game engine was smooth and convincing. the graphics were acceptable at the time. if you played the game with a Rendition Verite 1000 video card, you'd see a totally different texture. with the Rendition card, the texture and resolution was much smoother and refined.

    Yes it was the first to use 3D and was amazing at the time , all racing games before it had 2D tracks , no elevation changes. One game even had Laguna Seca in 2D...yes 2D corkscrew. as far as substance minus the flashy graphics, this game had as many features as iracing ...i forget if it had changing track temps ..if so it.. had more features then
