If anyone can offer some info (tweaking a file??) I'd be grateful.
TIA,
Bruce.
That was addressed somewhat with the patching process IIRC. , pre
patch setups were no match for the AI when starting. A whole new gearbox
was called for.
The uspits used to have a handy little utility that Jan wrote that
patched Heat up to whatever the last patch was. Definately a must have.
I spent over a year racing Heat online(tptcc league), so the AI starts
were not an issue. I can't remember if the starts were fixed or made
worse by the patches. sorry

Anyone know?
Cheers!

Just do as Dave said; the patches fix it. You don't need to tweak
anything.

Geez Tiny...why didn't you ask this two freaking years ago when I might
have remembered it? :)
You and Bruce ignored the *** when it came out and NOW you pester
me..hehehe lol!
Patching Heat was always confusing to some, especially the modding process.
But for others it was painless. Did you use the Pits all in one
patch..that should include a nocd patch. Most likely you patched to game
to level 1.x and then used a nocd that was intended for an earlier version.
Like v1.x-1. Just a guess tho...give the all in one patch a try...

Heat really insists on being installed on the system drive, typically C:
Something to try, is running the other .exe- after one patch (I forget
which) you get the choice of nascar heat.exe or nheat.exe
Otherwise the other advice is sound- best way to patch is the all-in-one
method.

Thanks guys for the memory jogs.

First off, I ask a simple question, and you come back with the "helpful"
answer, quote, "Just do as Dave said; the patches fix it. You don't need to
tweak anything."
That was *really* of tremendous assistance to someone who specifically asked
if it can be tweaked.
Then, when I point out that I had already stated that I'd fully-patched the
***y game, you come back with this gem..."Yes, lots can be tweaked".
Why didn't you say that in answer to my first question, instead of being
such a smug twerp and tossing back your clever, know-it-all response?
You make cretins look like MENSA candidates.
Bruce.
Though maybe not, your using big words like cretin and MENSA and all, wow,
impressive <rolls eyes>
