I just downloaded a couple of cars. I unzipped them to the N2 cars dir. Went I went to the driver info screen I could not find one of the cars. every cars I downloaded is there but #97 Chad Little. I know the cars go in order from the car numbers, Chad is #97. But when I scroll down to the car list, it stops and #96, The player. (I made a car to race instead of using the player.) Chad should be right after that, but he's know were to be seen. I checked the Cars dir. in N2 and he is in that. Could anyone please tell me were he might of gone off to. THANKS!! MATT

The car should be in the left column,you have to add this new car to the active drivers list yourself.

Do a directory and make sure you have a .CAR file in the CARS directory with the appropriate name. Also, you are limited to 128 cars maximum in the CARS directory (though I doubt this is a problem for many people).

writes: N2 can only show 74 cars on the left. The cars are still there, but you'll have to use some creative means by which to get to them. Try this: 1) Create a new list (let's say WC97), and then place your own car as the first one (or one you would like to be in). 2) From the selection at left, choose enough of the cars until the #97 shows, and then delete any of the unwanted cars from the right.

Some reason, the list only shows around 70 - 75 cars. I ened up deleteing the fake cars. Its no big deal > > I just downloaded a couple of cars.

You can only have so many cars in the cars directory. And only 70 some odd cars show up on the left and some are not shown. I wish they'd fix that and increase the limit of cars in a list. -- The wise man can pick up a grain of sand and envision a whole universe, but the stupid man will just lay down on some seaweed and roll around until he's completely draped in it.
