And you are calling your brother, right? The caller always gets the second car (or 1st opponent) and the answering cpu gets the first car (player). When me and my friend play we always use the same carset where his is the first car and mine is the second. I always call him so things work out correctly. Hope this helps.

Hi, I have a problem when racing via modem. The problem is I am not in my car, when my brother and I start to race he is driving my car! Has anyone else had this problem? I call him to connect does this effect which car is chosen for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dan

Dan -- If you want to be in the correct cars during modem play you'll need seperate car sets for calling and answering. When you place the call, the graphic for your car must be the third car in the car set you're using (use paintkit - Elmo/pace car is first, then your modem competitor's car, then your car). When you are answering the call, your car must be the second car in the car set (pace car, your car, then your competitor's car). It is only a switch of the graphics options -- both drivers2.txt files should have the pace car first, your car second, and your modem opponent's car third. I keep 4 car sets: the supplied '94 car set, a real '95 car set, a CALL car set, and an ANSWER car set -- the last two have my friend's car for modem racing. Hope this helps... Scott -- Scott M. Petty
