I got this mod and followed the directions. I even printed them so I could follow them. Well, it hosed my F1C install, so it doesn't run, nor the McLaren mod. Oddly enough my ETCC and the Prototype mods run perfectly. Does anyone know how to reinstall F1C without uninstalling? I'd love to just reinstall, but EA doesn't let me. At worst, I'll just delete F1C and the entire folder and all the mods, then redo the whole thing. Has anyone had this happen with the new McLaren mod? -- Richard "ZZ" Busch Member: Screamers Racing League OAO MARA TransAm GPL Rank + 17.410 MoGPL Rank + 318.294 N2003 Rank -12.4850 ---------------- Remember racecar is racecar spelled backward -----------------

The Mclaren mod was a bugger to get installed right. Took me several tries. However, if your ETCC mod and Prototype C are working, then F1c should be as well. :) The basic sim is functioning, but you may have messed up car or track files. Use the Mclaren launcher to try fixing the tracks and see if that helps. dh.

I must say the developers seem to think that their way of making a mod install is simple, but in reality, it's harder then the others, eh? -- Richard "ZZ" Busch Member: Screamers Racing League OAO MARA TransAm GPL Rank + 17.410 MoGPL Rank + 318.294 N2003 Rank -12.4850 ---------------- Remember racecar is racecar spelled backward -----------------

yes, especially since they have two available versions for two separate mods. the Sunday Challenge(street cars) and the F1 Challenge(FIA racers) dave henrie

If you have enough disk space, the best way of avoiding these problems is to make a clean install of F1C (no Mods). Configure everything to your liking and then back it up to a zip file. Whenever a new Mod comes out I unzip the file to a separate folder and install the mod on a that folder. Like the Papy Sims, F1C can be replicated a zillion times on disk and it works. The downside is that all F1C Mods now occupy almost 8Gb of disk space :-) Joao Gonzalez
