Welcome to XCar Ver 1.0. This file
contains the latest information
that didn't make it into the manual.

If you are experiencing problems when
using a game pad or other non-
proportional input device, specify a
-A or -B on the command line when
runing XCar. XCar will treat your
joystick as a button and allow
smoother control over steering.

If you experience problems while playing
in Network mode, such as opponent cars
jerking or a loss of frame rate, the
person who initiated the game should
press the F12 key. This will attempt to
resynch all the machines and should fix
the problem.

In the TOOLS directory you will find
various extra support tools for XCar.
Included are:
TIREED.EXE - This is a tire editor that
             lets you build a custom
             tire and use it in XCar.
XPAINT - This is a stand-alone version
         of the paintshop. It allows
         you to paint cars without
         the full game. There are also
         utilities to copy your edited
         cars into the game.
READTM.EXE - This is a utility that will
             read and validate a special
             file which is saved after
             every race. READTM can be
             used to validate games
             submitted for an on-line
             racing league or just to
             "prove" a lap time or
             finishing status.
Keep watching the XCar web site
(www.xcar.com) for the latest updates,
new tools, and utilities.
