N4 essential add ons?

I've just bought N4 (UK). Are there any essential addons that I should install straight away? Updated graphics or sounds or anything? thanks Kev

Wow, you guys are real helpful. For starters, try the 2001 Winston Cup carsets from either The Pit Wagon http://thepitwagon.hypermart.net/index.html or High Compression http://www.high-compression.com/ You could also try the AI fix posted April 7 by (Mike Pounders) to Black Hole Motorsports http://www.bhmotorsports.com/ It is a work in progress and your results may vary, but it is a definite improvement for me at some tracks.

The BH-motorsports' ini files adjust player grip too, thus making it impossible for the player to join online games on those tracks. -- Mika Takala [email hidden] Please remove the invalid parts from my email address if replying by email.

Sure about that? I installed the BH Ai fix, and afterwards when I joined an online race a dialog appeared saying something like: "The race director is sending you information. You cannot enter the track before download has finished". After that, everything worked fine. Now, I'm not sure the dialog box was related to the modified ini files, but it would make sense for the server to upload valid ini files to a client, wouldn't it?

When connection online, the game informs that it has altered your track grip to server settings. This will, however, make your own setups unuseful, because the grips are different. -- Mika Takala [email hidden] Please remove the invalid parts from my email address if replying by email.

I have encounterd the race director sending info twice and have NEVER installed an AI fix. I am not sure but I think I had just joined a race which was using multiple computer opponents....I assumed that it was updating information on which cars were included, practice times etc. Doug B.

It's actually a different dialog that comes up when the server has to modify client's ini settings. Something like "Tech Inspection" :) Hena
