N2 Setups?

Ok, I'm sure you guys are sick of this question, but I only got N2 last week and have been messing with it. Have all the patches installed, but I can't change setups! No matter what I do the setup won't change from EASY! It's annoying. I know this has been posted before, but I didn't pay as much attention until I bought the sim. Any help? Thanx -- Remove the "NOSPAM" to reply. Andy Roberts http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/5314/

Andy, I don't know if this'll help, but here goes... Let's say you choose "ACE" as your race setup, and "Qual" as your qualifying setup. Then, let's say you choose "FAST" as your default setup. When you enter the practice session, you'll run with the default setup you've chosen. When you enter the race session, you'll run with the selected race setup. It sounds like maybe you're changing the default setup, but not changing the race and qualifying setups, or vice-versa. -- God Bless, Steve (remove the <remove this> from my address when replying via e-mail)

I did the minimum install. Don't have a big enuff HD for the full install right now. I'll have to play with it before I get too frustrated. Thanks for your help. -- Remove the "NOSPAM" to reply. Andy Roberts http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/5314/

You can't use any other setups that what come with the game unless you do the full install. -- PolePosition#3- IVGA #4882 The Checkered Flag(NASCAR2): http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/4578/n2sim.html My Unofficial Dale Earnhardt Fan Page: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/4578/nascar.html The Dale Earnhardt Fan Ring: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/4578/dalering.html "If you don't believe, you don't belong." -- Alan Kulwicki's Credo

If you've already done this, don't be insulted. Put easy (or Ace or Fast or a downloaded setup) in your work window. You will not be able to change any of these and save them. However, once you have one in the window, click on the name itself. A cursor will then appear. Erase the name, and call it whatever you wish. Now you can change and save your setup as you will.

: You can't use any other setups that what come with the game unless you : do the full install. If you install the patches available for N2, you can use all of the setups (including those you create yourself). There is no need to do a full installation. However, if I remember correctly one of the patches makes the qualifying setups Read-Only. You will need to turn of the Read-Only attribute/property to access them after installing the patches. Or it could be that one of the patches doesn't install the qualifying setups and you need to copy them from the CD-ROM. Either way you need to turn off the Read-Only settings on the files. -- **************************** Michael E.

Yeah, you've gotta uncheck the "read only" box in the race stg. file as well or else the game will reset to the "easy" setup when you go from qualifying to race. Roy
