N2 patch (cross weight)

I loaded the patch and now my cross weight is all the way to the right, but says zero. I can't put any cross weight in now, only take it way. Is there a fix for this? Sean Higgins Higgy -- http://www.teleport.com/~higgy/

I recall a related post that said you can pull into the pits and have your pit crew adjust the cross-weight. Then exit to the garage and save the setup. -- **************************** Michael E.

Did your layout.dat file get patched? (It should have.) If you had a modified layout.dat, it wouldn't get patched, and could cause the above problem... Check to be sure... ---Jim Sokoloff

Yes Jim is right on this.I recieved a Layout.dat file from a freind who made some changes to the dash for me and when i patched it i only had negative cross weight setting adjustments.With my original layout file which i never deleted or over wrought i had no problems after i patched it so i iwould say use the original Layout patch it then change what ever you have changed in it now.

If you have layout.dat changed just unpack it and take the file that you want. After go into the N2 CD_ROM and put a new layout.dat in your N2 directory. Now apply the patch and after unpack the updated layout.dat and reput the files you saved before. So now you have (per exemple) your modified***pit but with the patched layout.dat It's don't sounds maybe clear but remember that I speak 99.9% of the time in French. English is my second language. In Quebec it's a bilingual province (country!vive le Qubec libre) and I don't practice my English often. So if I'm not clear just reply to my post.

I've heard from of a couple other people who I believe had modified LAYOUT.DAT who have experienced this problem. I suspect if you do a clean install from CD and then apply the patch, it will be resolved. Charlie Heath / Papyrus

People keep telling me about a modified layout.dat I haven't modified any file for N2. Don't know how first of and second what for? <G> Sean Higgins > >I loaded the patch and now my cross weight is all the way to the right, but
