Well over the last 2 weeks I have been having a ball with the Cart Add-on for NH. Then I loaded the IRL addon from bhmotorsports. Very nice indeed. Then yesterday I load the LeMans add-on, it is fantastic as well. Watkins Glen in the Audi is a blast. Do yourselves a favour and check these add-ons out. Thanks guys for developing these add-ons they are worth every minute of frustration you undergo. Gee like Dave Henrie says imagune tracks now - Bathurst hmmmmm Well back to LeMans, or Cart or IRL !!

Well, I'll throw out some more kind words about the add-ons. I just started playing the Le Mans one a couple hours ago, and I am realy loving taking the Panoz around the road courses. Somehow it just seems wrong to use them on the ovals. By the same token, I love using the IRL cars on the ovals, again it seems wrong to use them on the road courses. My only complaint so far with any of the add-ons is that both the IRL and CART ones seem WAY too sensitive in the initial acceleration. I mean, I know that they have massive horsepower going to the cold rear tires, but I can't get anything but the absolute minimum acceleration pretty much without spinning uncontrollably, at least until I hit 4th gear, at that point, I can just floor it and let it loose. By the way, running 200mph at Darlington is really cool. And going flat out around Dover is scary as hell. -Pav "Alex Kihurani" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Mx8C6.1363$[email hidden]...

I'm new to this game and mods. I have downloaded the 1.1 and 1.2 version and can't seem to get it to work. Did I install it wrong, is there a step I missed? Alex Kihurani <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Mx8C6.1363$[email hidden]...

Sorry you're having problems -- here are a few things to try: 1) MAKE SURE you used the installation option to "run NASCAR Heat from the hard drive" -- this is a "full installation." If you did a partial installation (that is, if you're running the game from the CD-ROM), you'll NEVER get the IRL Heat mod to work. 2) MAKE SURE you have the 1.3 patch installed -- you can get this from the High-Compression site (http://hc.letsgoracin.net/thesite/). 3) Make sure the "irl.car" file is in the "...\NASCAR Heat\Data" folder. 4) Make sure the "drivers.txt" file is in the "...\NASCAR Heat" directory. 5) Make sure the *.tex files from the paint fix are all in the "...\NASCAR Heat" directory. 6) Make sure the "options.cfg" file is in the "...\NASCAR Heat" directory -- if it's in the "...\NASCAR Heat\Data" folder, MOVE it to the "...\NASCAR Heat" directory. 7) Make sure you don't have another "options.cfg" file for NASCAR Heat someplace else -- do you have NASCAR Heat installed to the default C:\ drive location ("C:\Program Files\Hasbro Interactive\NASCAR Heat")? If you have the game installed to the D:\ drive, then you ALSO have a few NASCAR Heat files in the default C:\ drive location -- in this case (that is, IF and ONLY if you have NASCAR Heat installed someplace other than the default C:\ drive location), then you need to delete any copies of the "drivers.txt" and "options.cfg" files that exist on the C:\ drive (DO NOT delete the NASCAR Heat directory on the C:\ drive location, though -- JUST the "drivers.txt" and "options.cfg" files). Give these things a try and let me know if it helps. -- JB On Thu, 24 May 2001 15:57:13 -0700, "raidersfan2k" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Thanks JB! It was number 7 that fixed it for me. Thanks for going into detail and helping me trouble shoot this problem. What a great add on! John Bodin <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
