Sam Appleton

i will be there for my first time ever (to the WF, been to foxhall many a time). only going on the sunday tho, as im riding a trial on the saturday. will be good tho hopefully. dunno why i havent been before as i live locally in colchester. will see you there (tho porbably wont have a clue who any of you are!!!) enjoy (oh, and thanks for the warning about the bridge Budge, will take the old route from before the A14 was built when you always had to go thro ipswich. )

just an idea but would it make things easier for the team selectors to have a new thread where drivers wishing to race post and then the selecters can just look there for their team driver? perhaps 1 each for the english, scots and dutch?

id be happy to offer any help i can, driving or whatever. for england tho of course sounds like this would be a real nice thing to do. should be a laugh.

notice just how quiet this thread has remained.......

post all the error logs u get mate, that will help

right, u can use the UI.res file from the nascar heat demo for offline ONLY but there is a UI.res file that comes with the HotRod mod that works for on and offline. i suggest u download the hotrod mod, both parts and then use that ui.res file to replace all other ui.res files u have. thats what ive done, and it works fine for me

what version of the UI file are u using? a mate of mine had a similar problem that when he went into a muliplayer game there wasnt a button for him to click to change his light from red to amber. he was still using the original nascar heat ui file, but when he downloaded the Hotrod mod and used the UI file from within that it worked fine. I would suggest trying this and see if it helps.

a fresh install seems to have sorted it, and patching to 1.72. i was still on the nascar essentials , thought that was patched further, but obviously clashed. thanks guys

i have 3rd patch but also have the sierra file.car file in the main ukbangers directory, but im not sure where else, if anywhere it should be. i will try a reinstall.......

i have just downloaded the 2 litre bangers skinpack to use, my first one, and obtain the following error log when i try to go into a practice or race session 17.25.968:
