I hope we still have people still racing the N2 Sim here.
I just started painting car PCX files from outside N2, and want to load
them into my driver info file to use.
The program, keeps saying it cant find a paticular PCX file giving me no
option on what to look for when I try to import it.
I've tried renaming the pcx to the same that it is trying to find, still
with no luck. Does anybody know the secret to this?

Make sure it is indeed named properly. For instance, if it's the first car
in the list, the car you drive, I believe it should be named T_Player. YOu
can check for sure by exporting the car pcx of the car you want to import
over, then go into your Nascar 2 directory and see what the exact file name
is. Be sure and delete it before adding your new car.pcx.
Also, sometimes folks put the pcx file they want to import in their .cars
directory. It must be only in the Nascar 2 directory.

Yes that's right.It is very important to make sure it is in the Nascar2
directory.I've found it out the hard way as have others I'm sure.If it is
indeed the T_Player car you are using the the correct name should be Xt_playe
or Xt_player.I believe it is the first one though.Make sure the "X" is in
capital letters and the rest in lowercase.This is the case for all files you
import into your .car file,there should always be a capital "X" in front of
it.I hope this helps out,good luck !!
