N2 CARS

Hi all... Okay, I've got my computer upgrade done, everything that's REALLY important (my racing sims!) is working fine.. now I'm ready to add some current cars to N2. Never done this before... so thought maybe I could save myself some grief and ask for a short "how to" course from those that's "been there, done that". I understand it's nothing like N1 was (easy) but is more involved? Some help would be appreciated before I launch out on my own. :-0 Say Michael Carver... did I understand it right that you are working on a Darlington AI upgrade? THAT ought to be good. Sure like your Marty AI patch. Haven't had the "courage" to try the Tally one, though. Pretty happy with the one that Tom Hansen did for Tally. While I'm at it, Mike, thanks A LOAD for all the work you put in on the ICR2 carsets. They are simply super. Because of guys like you, I get to see "up-to-date" cars dicing me for the lead (I wish!). God Bless, Andre

Then you either use the Driver Info/Competitor List in N2 to create a new Entry List and select the cars you want to race. Or you can download the excellent utility N2HQ (http://www.vii.com/~danej) and do it from there. I think the latter is easier than the N2 approach. % Say Michael Carver... did I understand it right that you are working on % a Darlington AI upgrade? THAT ought to be good.

This track truly lives up to its name as the "Track too tough to tame". But, we are close to putting it all together. As to your dicing (not) for the lead in ICR2, you must be using my X-File Drivers2.txt files! ;-) -- **************************** Michael E.

It's actually pretty simple. You install the cars in the \NASCAR2\CARS directory, and they appear on the left side in the Driver Info screen. You can either create a new car list or replace cars in the list you're using now. Even simpler, you can download the '97 Winston Cup or Busch set from IWCCCARS and it installs itself in your cars directory, complete with a ready-made list of cars. Just select the list from the Driver Info screen and you're done.

I vote for this option. These are great cars and really enhanced my game. Thanks IWCCCARS guys. I don't have low self-esteem, I have low esteem for other people.
