Just a simple question: I am in Germany, and bought N4 at a local store. On the package it says "English Version, german Manual". Now which version do I have? The "international" or the "US-Version" ? Depending on that, I would need to install the appropriate Patch... My NASCAR Racing 4.exe on the CD has Version # 1.0.1.1, language-value while checking properties is labeled "English(USA)") thx for the help Maaki
To say the truth, I personally am not sure. But if you go into the game, and don't see no car manufactures, but instead a generic manufacture, then you need the international edition. If you do see car manufactures (ie. ford, chev, pont, dodge) then download the us edition. -- Sincerely, Mark F. -- SimGoRacing -- http://www.simgoracing.com "Markus Stiepel" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9d3fe4$4o2$01$[email hidden]... > Just a simple question: > I am in Germany, and bought N4 at a local store.

Well thats odd. Here is the key, I hope, that will tell you which version you have. Are there a large # of current Winston Cup drivers listed? Not on the box but in the opponent manager. Do you have cars for Tony Stewart/#20-orange with Rigid sponsorship? Or Rusty Wallace/#2-darkblue with no Miller Beer but Rusty Time sponsorship? If you have those and other real cars, the Beer sponsors are not in the US version either) then you do have the us..if ALL the drivers are fictional, then you have the UK version. Check the cars again. Do they say Dodge, Ford, Chevy or Pontiac? Thats the US version. If they say Chassis 1, Chassis two etc then you have the UK version. Either way, the 4.0.1.1 is not the patched version you will still need the proper patch to get your program up to version 4.1.1.0 dave henrie "Markus Stiepel" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9d3fe4$4o2$01$[email hidden]... > Just a simple question: > I am in Germany, and bought N4 at a local store.

The third number in the version string indicates whether it is the US (0) or International (1) version of the game. You have x.x.1.x, which is the International version. -- Eric "Markus Stiepel" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9d3fe4$4o2$01$[email hidden]... > Now which version do I have?

That's not true. While some drivers from the US version are missing due to licensing restrictions, the International version does include a number of real Winston cup drivers. -- Eric "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:WfeJ6.119652$[email hidden]... > if ALL the drivers are fictional, then you have the UK version.
Thanks for that info Eric. From the posts I've seen here in RAS, they sounded like NO drivers were included. okayyyyy....look for the manufacturer logos :) dave henrie "Eric Busch" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9d45du$bqs$[email hidden]... > That's not true.

Yeah, Home Depot, Dupont, Singular, McDonalds are not there in the Euro version. Euro version does have Cheerios, Tide, Kodak, Vavoline, Texaco, Kmart, UPS, Dale Jr., GM Goodrench, and Rusty Time to name a few. (This isn't a complete listing...just off the top of my head.) -Tim "Eric Busch" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9d45du$bqs$[email hidden]... > That's not true.
