Thanks.

I hope I'll have my copy by friday so I can start editing.

This might not be the best topic but I don't feel like opening another one so I'll ask it here.

I've been playing the demo since a few days, I'm getting nearer to my PS1 times but the car sometimes swerves all over the road. If I'm touching the left/right button two times the car just goes sideways and out of control. I've tried changing the steering sensibility, that didn't help. Could it have something to do with the settings of my gamepad?

This thread could just as well be about tweaking the game!

try changing the sensitivity of the gamepad or your steering, try to set 'em all to the highest or the lowest, that will give a clear indication if thats where the culprit of the problem is to be found.

I use the keyboard so is there any Pc/gamepad gamers who can help?

[Juha]

I think I've found a good sensitivity setting. My time on SS5 in Australia is now 2.42 and it's possible to get under 2.40. My record on PS1 is 2.35, in a 205, so it's acceptable.

I have (another) quesrion: can I edit the names in the demo version? I've tried it with an edit program but the readme is useless.

Car names or driver names?

[Juha]

Both. I know how to change the car names but I can't get those files packed again. I've used the edit program for driver names but I have absolutely no idea how the program works.

The packing part has been described in one of the other CMR2 topics (click my username and select "Find more posts by Exhausted").

There is a full list of updated drivernames (Solberg, Loeb, Grönholm...) in the 1.9 patch available for the full game.

I've found it, thanks.
