Silly question: I have tried changing the carnumber in my Player.ini files several times, but I always end up with the same car number 4 when I restart the gamne, what else can I try? -- Jaz Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

You can not change your car number in GPL. You are always #4. buzard

Are you sure about this? Isn't carNumber for setting the preferred car number? Or is that for use in multiplayer mode only? Jaz Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

You need to open your car dat file(lotus.dat) and you will notice that there are several car mip files with different #'s. Pick the car # you want and just put it in the car folder(lotus) then rename it to lot4.mip, this will overwrite the one in the dat file. SB

That will change the number visibly, but you are still listed as #4 in the game. The only way to get a different number is to race on-line where the numbers are assigned randomly.
