We hope that you enjoy playing
BURNOUT Championship Drag Racing
PLAYER'S CHOICE EDITION.



CHANGES IN THIS VERSION (2.01)
---------------------------------------------------
1) The Two Step (rev limiter) works correctly.  The
   upper rpm value wasn't correctly limiting the
   engine rpm.  Now, the first value is the rpm limit
   when the Two Step is engaged, and the second value
   is the maximum engine rpm limit when the Two Step
   is disengaged.  When you prohibit the use of the
   rev limiter in the class restrictions, the Two
   Step has no affect and engine rpm is not limited.

2) Class files load correctly.  There was a problem
   that caused certain restrictions to become corrupt
   when loading a class file.

3) Driver names appear correctly in the ladder diagram
   when you join a network event.

4) Fixed an engine sound problem that occurred if you
   changed engine sounds during a multiplayer race.
   You no longer can change engine sounds between runs.
   The sound that is chosen prior to the start of the
   event will be used for the entire event.  After the
   event, the engine sound is updated to the currently
   selected sound.

5) The Class name now appears in the ladder diagram
   header.  If the name is too long to fit in the
   header, it is truncated when displayed.

6) Added the file names for the car interiors to the
   CAR INFO tab in the paint shop.

7) There is a new command line option:   -O

   The '-O' option will make the Nitrous Oxide control
   button act like an On/Off toggle switch.  Press the
   nitrous oxide button once to turn it on, and again
   to turn it off.  The default method requires the user
   to hold down the button to keep nitrous oxide injection
   on.  Definitely use this option if you are experiencing
   problems with your controls not responding to input
   while holding down the nitrous button.  When using this
   option, The screen will display "N2O: ON" in the upper
   left corner of the race screen when nitrous oxide
   injection is on.

   Example command line:  C:\pce>pce -o <ENTER>

8) Fixed a problem with the engine dyno that caused
   engines using the MANUAL ENTRY .050-LIFT TIMING
   camshaft to produce incorrect horsepower and torque
   curves.  Good news for those of you who are using them,
   because in most cases you should see a nice horsepower
   and torque increase.



ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
---------------------------------------------------
Version 2.00 and 2.01 are compatible for multiplayer
racing, but it is highly recommended that you install
and run the 2.01 patch.
