N3 cars both online and offline

2 posts by 2 people · 08 Jan 2000 - 09 Jan 2000

Recently, I just started online racing, and have been using the generic (in my case) "143" car while I have been online. Someone explained to me to how to change my car to a different paint scheme to one that I use in my offline racing. However, the problem arises in that to me, I use #24, but when online, others see #83, or at least last night they did. I don't know if this number (83) switches or not, but it's annoying not knowing whether someone is talking to me or not. Secondly, is it possible to have different cars for me for different car lists, without having to edit the t_player file in Windows? For example, say I would like to use car #2 for my multiplayer list (for online racing), use #24 for my nascar list, and use a different car for an excellent IROC set I downloaded from IWWCCARS. Any help would be greatly appreciated..... Dave

The only way somebody else will be able to see a car that you painted is for them to have that same .car file in their \cars directory. That's why most online racing leagues have a carset made up of racers cars that they send in for everybody in the league to download. If the person you're racing doesn't have your .car file, they will see the default. JT
