    Nice tutorial, it is quite rewarding getting all the extra commands setup on your wheel's auxiliary buttons by using the key mapper.. I wish I could keep my hands completely off the keyboard and fully on my wheel, 25 years ago, but at least I can now. :)

  • @bungieman2810
    @bungieman2810 Год назад +1

    If you are running the Windows version, CART Racing/Windy, then you have to lower your monitor's resolution so the game doesn't crash. You can force the EXE to run in 640X480, but doing so will cause the game to crash when trying to get out of your car. Also disable Direct Draw in the graphics settings so that you won't have a banner at the top of the screen. Other than that, it works perfectly fine on modern systems, and it's compatible with almost every track and carset made for ICR2! It's also much easier to install.

    Patching the game is not required to run the stock cars and tracks in DOsbox but make sure to update if you want to run custom tracks and carsets. That will prevent all kinds of crashes and errors.

    Tutorial spot on GPlaps. Thanks for this. Plus by following the same format I've been able to install (so far) GP2 and GP1 as well as NASCAR racing.
    Strange issue though with ICR2. I used the mapper utility from your video to assign my gear up/down buttons. Also for the boost and brake bias. But for some reason I can only get the rear anti-roll action to work whereas the front will not activate. No matter if I set in the mapper. I've only tested this in the practice testing mode and no race or championship. Don't know what it is. Assigning the front anti-roll buttons in the mapper just won't work. Any ideas anybody. Thanks again. Some happy DOS gaming on ECE build now 👍

    • @GPLaps
      @GPLaps  2 года назад

      do they work when you press the key command?

    • @michaelgott9524
      @michaelgott9524 2 года назад

      When I map a button for front anti roll it assigns in the mapper okay and is listed there.
      But when I go to the game the front roll bar scale on the dash won't move.
      It moves the rear and changes the brake bias okay along with the boost, reverse and changing of gears (from mapper assign) I'm baffled. I tried deleting the mapper in the games dir and started over again. But no joy. I first thought it was a session thing or like a parc ferme type issue. But it lets me change the rear so it can't be.

    • @michaelgott9524
      @michaelgott9524 2 года назад

      I'll give things another try by re mapping the buttons for roll bar again in the mapper. Maybe there was something I didn't press right or firmly enough? If it doesn't work it's no problem. I still have the boost and brake bias mapped which is good enough. Plus button maps to bring up the race standings live and so on. For roll bar I'll just have to change it inside the setups page.

    • @michaelgott9524

Some red colored objects in game appear magenta for me, I've been scratching my head over this one, any thoughts?

Do these tips for setting up this game in DOCbox apply to the other old Papyrus nascar games? I would imagine so. I dont know if you remember me but I was having difficulty getting carsets and my wheel to work in Nascar 1 etc.. EDIT: I'm running into one of my old issues again with joysticks. I have my thrustmaster in spot 1 and my Fanatec USB pedals in spot 2 but when I get to the calibration in game, the wheel goes fine and the pedals do nothing at all. If I go into advanced setting and click on my pedals it then wants to set my pedals up in game 1st and the wheel does nothing.

    I have used dosbox for a lot of things but I have never heard of the ece version and didn't know about wheel support! This is amazing! I want to say thank you for doing something so awesome as this video! I love getting older games to run and I have a simucube that will be coming in soon so I know I'll have to get it to recognize the wheel through some other program to emulate my wheel to be one it can recognize but I sure hope you make plenty more of these! Even for RBR because there is so little of info for setting up and wheel settings for older games out there. One question though, until I get my wheel, I want to go ahead and get the game loaded up and working. Would I leave the joystick stuff default for my keyboard to be used?

After numerous short test runs I was interested to see if random crashes were going to be an issue, started a 200 lap race at Phoenix, eventful race with a couple of pauses, yellow flags, and got punted on lap 111, wheel damage, but was just on the corner for pit entry, so made it back to pits, and no pit crew work started 😕 so without looking I presume there must have been other unrepairable damage, so I had to dnf. Will have another go soon for a full distance race to test random crashes/stability 👍
