SCGT "Big Patch" questions..

Ok, ok, sorry, I know these questions have been asked before. See? If we had an SCGT utility patch FAQ I could look there. But let me first say that last night I hooked up my new Andretti Wheel, loaded up SCGT, and zammo - three and a half hours down before I knew it. What a fun sim. Sticky grass, though, and not the good kind of sticky grass. I suppose the patch fixes this. But, since we don't: 1) I installed the really big patch - now I have no engine sound.. (But - I must admit - there is something wickedly, fiercely cool about whipping around the track and just hearing the road and wind noise...) 2) Ok, I see a bunch of cars. No tracks, though... is there some setting where I can pick any car and any track without having to win money first? 3) I saw a post about, "if you get nothing else, get the advanced editor" or something like that which seemed to indicate it was a physics tweaker or something. Any leads as to what it is/where I can get it? 4) How are additional tracks created for this thing? More questions coming soon, probably. thanks! Andrew

A. You need the official v1.551 patch. just because..no specific reason. B. You NEED the Advanced Options Editor(AoE) that gets rid of the sticky grass and makes the sim a bit more of a challenge C. You need to find the proper sounds for some of the cars included in the Service Pak 3.0. Check out revved's soundpak and other sound utils from various sites. Using the vehedit program you can find each car's file name and the names of the sound files needed. D. To get the extra cars and tracks you need to CHEAT! Start a career mode(best if completely new) and type the following isi-cheeseman(then enter) you should see the 'cheat mode enable message' isi-tbone and isi-aardvark these should give you plenty of cash to buy cars and all the tracks. theuspits.com has a listing of the 2 or 3 other cheat codes as well. E. I have no #$## clue how they tracks are made other than they take a 3d editor and warp the original tracks into different shapes and sizes or (as in Silverstone) they take an existing Toca Touring Car Challenge track(Toca II) and use the 3d editor to convert it to work with SCGT. dave henrie Andrew Turner wrote:

You want cash and for a long time ? easy.......... just download a add-on car on the web and place the files in \Patch\ directory. Then buy the car, then turn off the game, edit the VEH file of the car and change the "vehcost=20000" (for example) to "vehcost=500000000". Then, turn on the game and sell this car. Eh, you just win 250000000 $. You can now buy all the cars you want. Andrew Turner <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message : [email hidden]...
