Hopefully somebody can help with a problem I'm having importing pcx files into N2 paint shoop. I go into driver info and create a new driver with name of the pcx file I want to inport and then go into paint shop and hit the inport buttom, but the program always tells me that it can't find the file. I have tried putting the file into the nascar2 dir and nascar2/cars dir but still get the same error message. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Here's an example of importing a pcx file. Say your car is called A_BCDE. When trying import a pcx the file must be designated Xa_bcde. N2 puts an X in front of the file name when it exports a pcx. The limit after the "_" is five characters.

When importing a pcx file be sure that you have an "X" at the beginning of the file name. ie. if your car name is B_Ford, then the pcx file must be named XB_Ford. Hope that helps.
