rec.autos.simulators

*Installed the multi patch
*Installed the 1.72e patch
*Ran the game and set it up the way i want
*Edited options.cfg and changed from no to yes on ***_enabled and
vertex_damage or something like that.
*Installed the 50 truck patch
*Installed the Formula Ford 2000 patch
*Installed the DTM patch
*Installed a bunch of tracks

I went to go and run the F2000 patch by running the .exe file that it came
with and it said its not designed for w2k run it anyway, where i said yes
and it crashed not long after. So i thought id run the default nascar to see
if i stuffed up anything but it worked fine, went to go run the f2000 patch
again and this time it worked... but im still driving nascars!

The other questions i have are:

Does it always take 2-3mins to load each session??? It drives me insane

When i installed the 50truck patch there is no executable or link file, just
a bunch of batch files like 50truckmenu etc. Also when i run that i still
drive nascars!!! ARGH!

When i goto run the DTMLauncher.exe file i get a runtime error, file not
found message!

So i have already pulled my hair out, now its time to play some game..
please help some1 :)

That is caused by having Vertex damage turned on. Turn off Vertex damage and
it will load at normal rates.

The early mods swapped alot of files around. I think with the 1.5 patch they
could do it with a command line switch in a single short cut.  I don't know
about the 50trucks, but DH said they were redoing the DTM mod to work that
way.

Have you tried the GTP mod? its pretty cool. I have only done a few laps,
but 150 mph thru the esses at Watkins Glen is pretty fun.
