If you're new to NASCAR
Heat,
here are some suggestions
to make it more enjoyable:
1) Install the game in full... meaning, make sure you've installed it to run off the harddrive (Play off Hard Disk), and not the Play off CD choice during setup.
And make sure you install the game to
it's default folders, which would be:
C:\Program
Files\Hasbro Interactive\NASCAR Heat
2) Download and install
the MGI patch versions 1.1e & 1.75, which can be found here:
MGI Patches
Most of
the third-party "Mods" for Nascar Heat will also require you to apply the
"Custom Track patch" (also known as a "NoCD patch"). This can also
be found here: Patches
3) Go to BlackHole Motorsports and download and install the High Compression 2002 Winston Cup carset addon to correct the missing real drivers, and correct the paintjobs. While you're at it, I also highly recommend the High Compression Craftsman Truck Series add-on.
4) Go to www.internetracefinder.com and sign-up, download, and install IRF. This is a great 3rd party utility for finding, joining, and hosting on-line Heat races.
After that, there are a bunch of other addons and modifications for Heat. See the links page on my site for some references.
And oh yeah... maybe grab
a car or two from my collection. And if you see one you like, but
need something simple changed, (like the number, or model), shoot me and
email, and I can modify it for you.
