My interest in cars in NFS4 is not that big. I only added the car functions back then because we needed something like that for the expansion pack. Interestingly, the code for the car functions is much better written than for the tracks. Simply because I added them much later.
The ZIP/RAR archives are unpacked without subfolders. Because there is no standard how they are structured. So the mixer finds all files and can move them.

Hey Jim, you've uploaded a new version about a month ago. I'm wondering what are the changes?

@JimDiabolo: Hey Jim, I noticed the Mixer available on this site is still the old one that uses the registry install. Are you able to upload the portable version please or perhaps update the MagentaCloud link?

Just need to download the NFS_HS_Mixer_Setup_(V1.3.0.461) which is the portable version

There's a 2nd big disadvantage: When you install a car with a readme like from AJ, the Mixer won't apply and go with the same folder structure. Instead, it takes every file it finds inside the archive and places it in the car's folder. Which is bad for such kinds of Readmes

I'd say tough luck. Just install it manually like you used to. Don't be so stupid and let the mixer do everything. I installed cars manually myself as a 12-year-old child.

The thing is that you have a very good overview about your mods with the HS Mixer. And (in theory) you can export a specific set of cars into ZIP files and then reimport them to another game folder (modpack for example) and this only takes a few seconds if not a minute. Unfortunately, it would mix up the showcase slide files for the cars.

I noticed something when installing a car: if the car has car showcase slides (SL****##.QFS files), these are copied to the data\feart\vidwall folder instead of the data\showcase\art folder

I noticed that too long ago. I manually put them in art folder. I'm not sure but in the past (I use the mixer for over 15 years I guess) it was working correct.

Maybe the portable modern patch update has killed the order

Any siren mod is welcomed. Tell me if you need any help in creating siren.bnk's

I thought i already asked about it but i can't find it anywhere. What do you think about the Volkswagen SP2?

I think i've found'em

Oh i think i've found something already. For some reason, the function will take the next right edge here as the virtual road point middle. Maybe it is only good as an alternative way of calculating virtual passable lanes. Actually, both ways are needed and important. For normal tracks, the initial calculation is perfect, but for tracks like Autobahn 3, maybe the newer way of calculation should be used because of the very thin divided road sections. I will keep both versions for calculation i guess

Here is another beta with new VRoadLanesRecalc function. I tested which Autobahn3 (Block 0 & 1) and it seems to be good now.

YESS it works now!! Great update. I've tried to double check on different sections but i think it works now in a very good way. Needs further testing i guess but if i find anything i will tell it to you. Still need to try out your new way of placing VR floats. Will do that, too

Yes thats the Problem. The exe ist damaged. Ich can try to ASK nfsfan83. One day one another Problem

AgentMulder, have you been successful in retrieving the car?

Autobahn 3 is giving me a hard time. I don't think i will be able to fix the AI as of yet. Blocks 123-125 are very problematic. Even the alternative route which takes much longer doesn't work

Happy Eastern folks

Thanks to the whole community who has found out how to fix change/modify this needle positions. Especially Butch for his small tutorial he's posted on the Latest rides for High Stakes topic. But also other people who've made tutorials on that topic 20 years ago or so. I've got the information somewhere from quite a time ago but i can't remember it exactly where from but i've never tried it before to fix those needles and it seems to work pretty well the way i do so i can help others by sharing this video. Ofcourse this has nothing to do with building a car from scratch and setting the axis from such a needle. I will always admire car creators for their modeling/UV mapping skills

I've made an easy tutorial on how to mostly fix the annoying thing where dashview needles show wrong values in the dashview:
