Fantastic!

I'll have to try this new pack out.

Does police chase mode still work with the new tracks? There is a U.A.E. police BMW that would go good on a Egypt track as it would look similar to U.A.E.

You will not be dissapointed

You will not be dissapointed

Then you mean police chase does work on extra tracks then? Excellent..More country's police XD.

With the Fast Cop Cars Patch the Caprice, Hatchbk, sedan, suv in the traffic folder will be changed. That's why cops will only be faster on tracks thoose cars are used. These tracks are the non european NFS4 tracks (like KP) and all NFS3 tracks. EP tracks will have fast cop cars if they are on a slot like that.

I see..But does cops work on the addon tracks too like Egypt and Durham city, Autobahn,etc.? Can I play HotPursuit mode on them or are they single race only tracks?

Ok..I downloaded and installed it but I can't find all these new tracks in the game menus..I even looked in the single race mode and still can't find them..They are in the tracks folder though but they do not appear in the game.

you have to activate them in the mixer. Tracks cannot be added to NFSHS, you can just replace the ones being there. The mixer is a manager for that where you can tick the active tracks.

[JimDiabolo]

The easiest way to race thoose tracks & cars is to use the new shortcuts in Expansion Pack Menu :
"NFS HS EP2 Mod1 Tracks & Cars" -> race Mod1 tracklist with EP2 carlist.
"NFS HS EP3 Mod9 Tracks & Cars"- > race Mod9 tracklist with EP3 carlist.

"NFS HS Original Tracks & Cars" brings everything back to original.

I must have done it wrong..When I tried to use Bergstraße I got the dreaded EXCEPTION CAUGHT message and the game crashed. I'll keep trying though.

Put them in a different track slot. But don't ask me for how that works with the mixer, I do that by hand.
