Question on High Compression Heat CTS

Just downloaded and installed the Heat trucks from high-compression.com. Fantastic! A simple install, then one click and it's like a whole new game. My question is, does everyone find the trucks much easier to drive than the Heat cars? I'm using the custom "Truck" setups that came with the CTS upgrade. I'm also using Hardcore. I can drive at Michigan without lifting, and no brakes are necessary at Rockingham (just lifting). Richmond requires a little braking. It reminds me of the normal or expert settings in the cars. Now, I'm not complaining. Maybe it's the truck setups which were provided. Just wondering if others were finding the hardcore trucks easier to drive than the hardcore cars. Is this how the trucks are in real life? Also, what lap times are you getting at some of your favorite tracks? I say again, great upgrade! Thanks, H-C!!! Doug

Have you tried the IRL Heat mod yet? The install is as simple as the CTS install, and it's a LOT tougher than the Cup cars! http://irlheat.bhmotorsports.com/ We have new IRL menus, but that's a separate download. The 2001 mod will probably be an all-in-one mod, like the CTS mod, but the 2000 IRL mod is kind of "modular" at the moment. -- JB On 2 Aug 2001 09:46:02 -0700, [email hidden] (Doug Appleyard) wrote:

Cheers, Rod.

The CTS mod changes the physics as well. You are now driving a rig with less horsepower and MORE drag. that is why Michigan is easier to handle. Like JB said...try the IRL cars at Darlington...but bring a-lot of spare suspension pieces... dave henrie "Doug Appleyard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I'm stunned at the level of detail: when trucks bang fenders they actually leave DONUTS on the doors!!!!! Truly an outstanding achievement - especially considering the development budget! lol Gunner
