My problem is simple: I can't get em to work on the PC version.  How do I get them to work?

Holy heck it's quiet.  Where is everyone?  How is everyone doing?

Lately I've been having issues with NFS5.  I load the game, but when the menu comes up once the Porsche splash screen finishes the menus and everything seem, to run at half speed.  ANyone got any ideas how to fix this, or reasons for it?  

My specs, in case anyone asks:
p4 1.4ghz
768megs ram
128mb Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti 4200

Gotta get a new ISP.  Might take a while, so I'll see you all soon, I hope.

Hey everyone.  Just a little note to say that I will be sorta dissapearing from online activity, save for perhaps tuesday and thursday when I will try to use my stepmom's pc. We are putting new flooring down in my room, which is where my pc is, so before that I have to get all the furniture out of the room, so the pc will be disconnected as well.  So either tomorrow, or at least by monday I will be on very sporadically.  See you all in about a week or two.

I have an idea.....I already said that didn't I?  heh...ok....onto the idea.  

I have an idea for a fantasy/concept car to make for NFS4, and MW, and then hopefulyl converted to NFS5 and 3, but I'd mostly like to se it for 4, 5 and MW.  The problem is that I have this idea reattling around in my head, I am unskilled at the programs to make the cars and I have little to no artistic skills in drawing/painting/3d modelling or the like, so in this light, I though I'd ask for help in this endeavour.  If any car modellers here would like to work with me in this car design and car making thing, just post here.  I have come up with ideas for hwo some of the car parts and stuff should look like; I spent a few hours just mulling the look of the car around in my head.  Here are some of my ideas:

I would like this to be able to be used in career mode for NFS HS so in that light I have tried to make some upgrades where I could think of something; feel free to add ideas or to critique mine.  


Overall Car Design:  I spent a whil;e looking at some Jetta and Passats and Ford Fusions today....I thought that this concept car should be a mashing of them together sorta....but as a four seat coupe.  The overall body however should have a slightly longer wheelbase, a wider stance, and though it has the same ride height, I would like to see the roofline dropped a few inches, maybe 2 or 3.  Also it should be more streamlined looking yet angular where it deems fit.  


Chassis/Drivetrain:  I am aiming at this being a low B class in nfs3 or a high B or low A in NFS4 so top speed overall should be aimed to be 140mph or a little higher, not something nuts.  I feel that there are far too few really good, decent polycount cars for nfs4 out there.  I would also like it to be full time AWD and mid engined if possible, though I am not sure if AWD and mid engine works together, so front engine is good too.  I just thought that the weight balance would be unigue for a mid size 2 door/4 seat coupe in this configuration.  

EDIT: I realzed something tonight...I made an error in the 4 seat copupe/midengine idea....won't work cause the seats would be on the motor...maybe a rear engine or maybe front....whatever works is fine with me.  

Stock car: 2l+ 4cyl (2.8L maybe??) with 4 spd Auto  or 4 spd man transmission
Upgrade 1: LE model:same engine with a close ratio cersion of the 4spd auto or 4 spd man transmission and a lightened flywheel
Up 2: GT model: 3.8L 6 cyl with 5 spd auto/5spd man,
Up 3: GTS model: 3.8L 6 cyl bored and stroked to be 4.?? L afterwards, supercharged with a 6spd auto/6spd man.

I was thinking 145hp for the stock model, 160 for the LE, 185 for the GT,  and 240 for the GTS (this can be altered again by ingame tunign or for the case of NFS5, whatever parts anyone wants to add in the parts to buy for the car, like upgradeed exhaust.  (If soemone does make it for nfs5, can a version be made form a stock car....my vid card is crap and can't run anything other than miodded game crs, no scratch made one....grrrrr...

Hood/Body/Tires and Rims
Hood: Stock: Looks sorta like a mismash fo the fusion and Jetta hoods.
Up1: Carbon Fibre
Up2: Single bay hood scoop, fairly low profile
Up3: Wide somewhat shortbodied ram air scoop divided by a septum-like thing between them, (think like the dodge challengers hood scoops if the were shorter and right beside each other, liek as one unit).  

Body: Just sorta like a mishmash of the car bodies, feel free to use your artistc licence and judgement here.  I do have some ideas though...

Each upgrade should have more added body stylings, like chrome, or badging to fit the model names adn the liek.  Also on the top GTS model, a scalloped detail, like the door of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, though much less defined and smaller in stature would be neat on the doors.  Pinstriping and or racing stripes and or two-tone paint are good options too.  

Headlights:  Stock: Dual headlights with dual bulbs, both lights are high or low beam.  
Up1. Leds
Up2: Added supplemental lights on the bumper.  
Up3: 4 lights on the bumper: Two in close to the centre of the bumper, two towards the ends of the bumper.  Extra bright LED headlights, maybe blue tinged to cut fog.  

Taillights
Same ideas as headlights....just surprise me.  lol

Tires:
Stock: 15" radials and stock looking rims
Up1: 16" radials, wider tread width, stock rims
Up2: 16" radial. same width as last time, more agressive tread pattern
up2: 17" High Performance Radials, either chrome or mag alloy rims with a cool rim style....whatever is fine with all of you.  and as wide as possible tread width.  

Spoiler:
Stock: None
Up1: none
Up2: Low profile spoiler, like from a low end sports car
Up3: Moving, speed actualed spoiler, if possible, if not an really cool, not to ricey one.  Not too big either.

My pc's on the f'n fritz yet again....so I might be gone for a while...depending on if I can fix it up.  I use 3 hd's, one had errors.....and since it holds some of the critical files, (I boot to a secondary hd because of the others problematic ways just for that reason), the machine was acting up.  After repairs with scandisk, the pc won't boot correctly.  Boots to safe mode fine, but not in normal mode.  It loads part way, but never gets to the windows screen, it just reboots it self after a partial load.  Doing a full install of windows now, if that still does completely fix it I am gonna replace the bleeping messed up hd with a spare.  Will let you know how it goes....sometime soon I hope.  I sending this from my stepmom;s pc....hope it all goes well.  Wish me luck....heh.  TTYL peeps.

I recently borrowed Colin MacRae Raly 2 from my brother.  I have had it installed previously on my machine a couple years back with no problems that I can remember,  When I insyalled it recently it seems to work fune until I race.  In a race, no matther how high or low the graphics are set, about 13-20 seconds into the race the game freezes and I have to shut off the computer to reboot it.  Iteven freezes if the demo runs for so many seconds.  HELP!

I didn't know where to post this....

I went to another NFS site looking for NFS4 tracks.  I ened up at NFSUnlimited.  There are a ton of tracks there but I can't get the d/ls to work.  Is the site down?  The servers the claim to use are neer working far as I can tell.  If anyone can tell me where I can get some tracks, let me know.  Though don't say Nd4spdworld, been there, got the ones I liked from there already.  Thanks.

What happened to the new car/track list on the main NFSAddons page?  It doesn't show up lately...

Yeah....just a little note to say there is a possibilty that I might not be around nearly as much in the next while....I am on my stepmoms computer today because the powerpack fan on mine is running at like half tyhe speed it ought to.  Was running fine on Tues and Wed afternoon, it was all crappy.  Dusted it out and it runs a bit better but not much.  So I am gonna still get on from time to time on mine, but not staying for longer that an hour or so to save my powerpack some strain and to not overheat it.  TTYL I guess...

I have several questions:  

How do install addon cars other than the ea cars in NFS5?  

I have heard that you need to edit a savegame to do so...if true can you add all your downloaded cars to one savegame, like my current one.  That's what I'd prefer cause I am rather far along in evolution mode.  

Is there a way to use the cars I add in evolution mode like the others, and/or are they sorted by dates, like a 69 Camaro being in the appropriate era/class/year?  

Thanks for listening.

I had an idea....

What about a way to go from the topic you are reading, to eitherthe al recent posts, or new posts.  Or maybbe just add to all pages the message options from the main page, like All Recent posts, Unread posts, you know.

What is the NFS4 Expansion Pack?  How can I get it?  What is in it?  How do I use it?

Is there a way arounf the car limit in NFS3?  It get annoying when I have so many cars I would like to include but I have to removes some to accomodate them.

I am looking for a coopy of Final Fire Pro Wrestling for GBA that has been translated to English from Japanese.

Does anyone know of a good site for 4X4 EVO PC add-on cars and tracks.  I ttried KC Vale and I got the runaround sort of.  Many of the d/l links didn't work.

I am looking for decently up-to date roster patches for Triple Play 2001 PC and for addon Trucks and tracks for 4x4 evo.  If you know of any sites where I can find any, let me know.  

Thanks.

I just got Viv Wizard and I was attempting to modify the cars I have in the game so that the AI could have acces to them to make for more choices of car for the Ai to use.  Only some of the cars will keep the changes I make and some of them will let me change the setting to let them be used by the AI but after I save, the setting is back to not allowing the AI access to the car.  Can anyone help me with this???

Is it possible to convert the NFS 5 tracks to NFS 3 and if so has anyone done so because the tracks for NFS 5 are cool and would be really cool in NFS 3, which I currently have.  

Thanks.
