Online Cars

Wondering why only some of the cars I download from web sites are available for mulitplayer? Many of the ones that do not show up in multiplayer selections are even fictional cars. Too bad N4 has so many generic cars in offline racing. All of those purple & yellow or orange and white cars make multiplayer look more like saturady nite late model racing rather than NASCAR. By the way I have even seen cars I have downloaded being driven by other (NON-COMPUTER) players online yet the same car does not show up as available for me to select. Anyone with a clue to this phenomenon??? (Don't gimme NOCRAP in E-mail)

You have to select show all cars in the opponent manager. then you can pick one or not. Maximum of 43. Make yer choice for online/offline or both! -- KdF ICQ # 15778345 "PHYDEAUX99" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Wondering why only some of the cars I download from web sites are available for > mulitplayer?

OK Dave, first of all I know you are wize in all matters simulated...<g> actually you have been a great help many times. The phenomenononon to which I refer is thus: I download cars from various web sites....but for some reason only a few of them show up in the list of cars available for me to drive on line. I realize that the "licensed" cars aka real cars are not available for players to select in mulitplayer...although I assume there is a way. To further complicate and befuddleize the matter it appears that other players ARE able to drive these cars online. how do they do it when I can't....and it's no all downloaded cars just some...there has to be a way to do it. Thanks Doug (Don't gimme NOCRAP in E-mail)

No I don't think you understand. I know that the "real" cars can be used online driven by the AI....but not by the player. (Don't gimme NOCRAP in E-mail)

ok, yes there is but I don't know the paticulars...Make sure you have not checked the box on the drivers list that says "show only active drivers" (paraphrased) I beleive getting the Winston Cup cars to work i.e. Gordon's Dupont 24 has to do with renaming them, but I don't have the details...I'll see what I can dig up...in the meantime...I'm sure there are a folk or two here that can help...we ARE talking N4 correct? dave henrie "PHYDEAUX99" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Be sure the :"only display active drivers" box is UN-CHECKED on the opponents manager screen (top left).... or else it will not show you all the cars.. ed_
