This has probally been covered before but if so I missed it. After I installed the N2 patch from Sierra, I can't add positive cross weight when I'm setting up my car. Can someone please tell me how to correct this. Thanks.

I had this problem. In the end, the best way to solve it was to reinstall nascar2 in a different directory, repatch it, and then replace your layout.dat file with the newly installed and patched one. I tried several other methods that took less time, but this was the one that worked. Tony

I've heard of this problem from several people but I don't know what the scoop is; most people haven't seen a problem with cross weight after the patch. The only lead I'd heard is that your LAYOUT\LAYOUT.DAT file might not have been updated if you didn't have an unmodified copy of it installed, and without the fixes in layout this is one of the problems you might run into. Questions - did you do a full or minimum install? Rendition or normal video? Had you made any changes in LAYOUT.DAT? Do you have V1.02 or V1.03 patch level? Charlie Heath / Papyrus
I had the problem with the first patch, but the second patch cleared it up. I hadn't modified the layout.dat, NO rendition, and full install.

I believe there are a couple other potential problems if LAYOUT.DAT isn't correctly patched, one of which is that you still can't see more than 60 cars when editing entry lists even though the patch should allow you to see 128.
