rec.autos.simulators

     I'm very experienced in N1 and am getting frustrated with N2.  I've
downloaded several .car files and have put them in BOTH my car and N2
directories to make sure I didn't miss something.  In the game I go to the
"New Driver" mode and it gives me the list of files available.  I see the
new file, but when I click on "OK" it doesn't do anything.  If I try to
type the name in manually it tells me that file already exists.  Also,
those files aren't showing up on the left side column allowing me to just
add them to the field of cars.  Lastly, the exported file names seem a bit
confusing.  If I'm right, there isn't a set group of pcx names.  It seems
like the names are based on whatever you initially named the driver.  I
need some help here seriously.  I'm trying to get a decent carset to run
with that is more than just the 36 real drivers Papyrus has provided.
Please help me to get these .car files into my game.  Thanks a lot.

I know someone else who was having this problem as well.  After
re-installing Nascar2, it went away.  Perhaps a file somehow got
corrupted.  Yes, the pcx file is named based on the name of the .car
file.

REPLY:

I've been through all of the problems that you've said and even more.
To the best of my knowledge it's completely messed up. These bugs have
been forwarded to Papyrus. Were not the only ones. When you use
multiplayer with car creation you get a new set of problems as well.
Personally I feel Papyrus knew all of the above as well, it's not like
we dug real deep, they're very very visable problems. I'm assuming
they're working on these problems currently.
