CART Racing for Windows95

Papyrus Design Group, 1996.

************************************************************************
CD Contents :

There are three versions of CART Racing on the CD : Rendition, Windows95, and
DOS.  The minimum requirements for the DOS version are a 486-33 with 8 mb of
RAM and MS-DOS version 5 or higher.  The Windows95 version requires a
Pentium-60 or higher with 16 mb or RAM .  Owners of slower machines may
consider installing and running the DOS version.

Controls:

        CART Racing supports driving with keyboard, mouse, joystick, and
        wheel/pedal.  We highly recommend the use of a joystick or wheel,
        especially on oval tracks.  You should calibrate your joystick in the
        Windows95 calibration menu before running CR.  If the controls seem
        to pull unevenly or not respond smoothly on the track, you may
        calibrate using the CR calibration menu.  CART Racing supports only
        those joysticks recognized by Windows95 (thus, one axis steering
        devices will not work).  Users with pedal and wheel systems may
        encounter some difficulty getting Window95 to recognize your setup.
        Many such controllers come with a terminator that attaches to the
        cables before they enter the controller card in your computer.  For
        example, the Thrustmaster Formulat T2 wheel and pedals come with a
        terminator that connects them to one joystick port on your computer.
        The T2 can then be calibrated as a 2 axis - 4 button joystick.

Direct X:

	DirectDraw and DirectSound are included in this build and are
        installed if you request it.  DirectDraw and DirectSound provide
        improved performance for the Windows95 version of CART Racing.
        Note : Some video cards require Direct X drivers specific to the card.
        It is recommended that any such drivers be backed up in a secure
        place.  Additionally, some other applications shipped with earlier
        versions of DirectX.  The DirectXsetup used by CART Racing will not
        replace/update these drivers, and may not run with the older drivers.
        If the installer does not install these drivers, you may manually
        install them at any time by removing any previous DirectX drivers
        from your Windows\System folder (these may include ddraw.dll,
        ddraw16.dll, dsound.dll, dsound.vxd, and dplay.dll) and then running
        DirectXsetup from the DirectX folder on the CD. 
	The newer versions of DirectSound will interfere with the sounds 
	in the menus.  It will not affect the sound while you are driving.
 
The Replay:
	
        If you attempt to load a saved replay that is larger than the memory
        allocated to replay in the Options/Graphics/Advanced dialog, CR will
        chop off the replay at the end to make it fall within the allocated
        memory constraints.  Also, you must select the proper track before
        loading a replay.  Replays do not perform properly when loaded at a
        track different from where the replay was created.

Printing:
	
	You may encounter a printer error if you try to print two items
        rapidly one after another from the CR print menu.  If this happens,
        just wait ten seconds or so then try printing again.

Paintshop:

        CART Racing comes with a custom paintshop that allows you to
        personalize your cars appearance.  The paintshop can be launched from
        the Driver Info menu but will only run in 256 color mode.  In addition
        to painting, the paintshop allows you to import images to place on
        your car as decals.  Decals of authentic CART sponsors and various
        other images can be found in the DECALS folder in the root directory
        of the CART CD. 
	You might notice a problem loading the Paintshop from the Driver Info 
	with certain videocards.  If you do have this problem load the 
	Paintkit from the taskbar.  You can Load in the new car using the 
	Driver Info Load button. 

Memory considerations

The memory Requirements for two player racing with CART Racing for Windows 95
is a minimum of 16MB.With this minimum requirement you will see a memory page
(a pause while windows write data to the hard drive). This usually happens
about a minute into most two player connections and lasts about a second.
Although this page is brief  it  can be unnerving. Unfortunately this is
related to normal windows operations and the pause can only be reduced by
adding more memory to your system.

As you play two player the replay is recorded live while you race. With 16MB
of RAM you will run out of recording time before the race is over. This means
that as you race you will start to lose the beginning portion of the replay.
Another result of live replay is that the frame rate of the replay will be
less while connected. We recommend saving the replay for viewing in single
player mode.

Modem  considerations

In order to connect properly CART needs to set up your modem before you try to
connect. The modem is set up by an init string which includes a series of
commands to set your modems error correction and data compression to off.  Due
to the wide variety of modems on the market  it is impossible to include init
strings for every modem type. If you need to develop an init string for an
unsupported modem you should consult your modem manual.  You want the init
string to shut of error correction and data compression.  You also need to set
the modem to run at the correct speed. For example the init string
AT\N0%c0s37=7 the AT is the prefix for the Hayes AT command set, the command
\N0 would shut of error correction , the command %C0 would shut of  data
compression, and the command s37=7 would set the modem to 9600 baud (commands
will vary by modem type).  In order to have a successful connection you also
need to set the comm parameters to match on both systems.  The standard set of
9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit should work in every case, but they must
match the other players settings or multiplayer will not connect.
