  banscene exe files by Sean Staples??   from what I can tell, when you
install the file, it creates a sub folder in the patch folder.  So If I'm
trying to set up a Le Mans carset, then I put the car files ....where???
  If I leave them in the original patch folder, they are the wrong class and
don't show up.  but when I copy the files to the new subfolder, even with
using the cheats, I still don't see any cars...I'm dense, I know...what am I
missing?

I noticed this problem too. All the cars I downloaded were left as GT1
class. The way I fixed it was to edit the VEH files to tell the game which
class they should be.

The second line of a VEH file looks something like this:
//DescClass=GT1

The LeMans executable has these classes:
LMP900
LMGTP
LMP675
GTS

So if you know which class the car is supposed to be in, you change its
DescClass line in that car's VEH file to be that class. eg.
//DescClass=LMP900

To add a Le Mans car, place the MAS file in the PATCH folder and place the
VEH and BMP files in the PATCH \ LMCAR folder.

Cheers,
NF.

I don't know if this is part of your problem or not, but here goes.  I had a
similar problem that after adding cars they didn't show up.  Apparently the
game only shows a certain number of cars in each class. (I was never able to
find that number-in case anybody knows it?)  I could race against them but not
buy them and use them.  I fixed it once by taking the files for a couple of
cars out of the patch file.  Hope this helps

"TlgtrProd" <> I don't know if this is part of your problem or not, but here
goes.  I had a
  Krunch had the details I needed.  First I was copying all the files over
to the lmp patch folder.  Didn't need to copy the mas files, just the .veh
and bmp files  Plus, while they all had LMP900 on the first line, the 2nd
line(which is the proper line for car classes) listed a different class
name.  So I changed all the 2nd lines to read
//DescClass=LMP900
  and between those two items...it's fixed.  Thanks all.
Now to just JUNK all the originals  :)  Got some LMP cars, gotta grab some
675's and gts'..(VIPERS!) and did anyone ever make the Bentley??

They had some images of the Bentley I think over on HG Forums that I
believe  were posted by the guy who made it.
