Before I give this address, I must warn you. Install Heat on the C:\
drive with all it's default paths. DO NOT INSTALL heat on another drive
another subfolder or anywhere else.
2nd...before you apply any mods, make sure you get the 3 official beta
patches. Theupits.com, in their tptcc files section has a patch installer
WITH the nocd included. Start there
then go here

CART Heat with the proper setups is cool, Dtm is great for tin top racing
and ISCH is a Le Mans type GTS level sports car effort. Can Am is coming
and F1 and others.

Not your average open wheeler (it's based in the 1930's), but I can
strongly recommend Spirit of Heat.

These are the two mods that I play the most.
Have fun :-)

You sure you need all three patches? I just reinstalled NH a few days ago
and only applied the last patch, 1.5a, game runs fine and ver say 1.5a.

I'd love to endorse SoH too. Only problem is that it and NH no longer want
to use my Thrustmaster FF properly. What I've seen on SoH so far while
observing from the wreck of my ALFA (hard right turn as soon as it crosses
start line) is impressive. Are there any known controller issues with SoH?
Or maybe I'll just reinstall everything again?

OK, I'm not using any mods though so it shouldn't matter, right? I do have
1.1e 1.5 and 1.5a patches if I ever want to try any of the mods. Wasn't
there also a 1.3x patch at some point? What if I just install these patches
again even though I have already intalled 1.5a? I think I should be ok so
long as I end on 1.5a because these patches just overwrite old files and
don't actually modify anything. Correct?

OK thx, on my way to get that installer now. I think I have the 1.3 patch on
a cdr somewhere too. I took a look at that Spirit mod but at 53mb it's a bit
of a long download on my 56k modem.

Yea, if it was one big file I could do it overnight while sleeping, but they
broke it up into smaller pieces so I can 't even do that.
