I need help importing cars.  I downloaded car sfrom IWCCCars.  I click
on the *.exe file to run, and I open them to my "C:\NASCAR2\cars"
directory (installed in DOS).  I then go to NASCAR 2, driver info, and
look for the new cars.  I see them when I click on "New Driver" (as
97#**), but they DO NOT appear on my "All Drivers" list.  I exit out of
N2, look in Windows Explorer, and the new cars are listed in the "cars"
directory as "97#**.car".  WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO FIND THE cars' PCX
FILES TO IMPORT...???  Could someone please e-mail step-by-step
instructions...???

I do believe that you need to import the cars into just the NASCAR
directory, not the nascar\cars directory.  I believe it is all in the FAQ
or the manual or mentioned here several times or on the IWCCCARS homepage
somewhere.  The driver photo shots are saved in the nascar\cars directory.
Hope this helps.

Is this true????

Yes it is.  See the IWCCCARS FAQ, the unofficial Nascar 2 FAQ at Dave
Sparks page, or as a last resort try reading the manual.

 Yes this is true.  You have to import the cars into the NASCAR
directory not the cars directory.

No where in the manual or FAQ do I see it telling me to put the *.car files
into the X:\SERRA\NASCAR2 dir. They all say X:\SIERRA\NASCAR2\CARS.
And this just does not work consistently for me, any tips, PLEASE!!!!

Wayne:

When importing *.pcx car graphics, put the car in the x:\Sierra\Nascar2
Directory.  When importing a *.car file, put this in the
x:\sierra\nascar2\cars directory.  The file you add must match the type
of file you want to replace.  When you export a car it will show up in
the nascar2 directory as a *.pcx file.  To find the already present car
graphics that came with the game, look in nascar2\cars directory and you
will find a bunch of *.car files.  Hope this helps you...
