Re: What is the best starting car?

Audi TT once upgraded to woks level is the fastest tier 1 car in the game. To get more money early on in the game, do two runs, 1 lap each, at Nordschleife, no opponents. Depending on how well you follow the racing line and master corners, you'll level up enough to win an extra $150,000 in addition ...

I've played a lot of racing games, both arcade and sim oriented. A list of videos from various games here: http://jeffareid.net/rgv.htm The developer of Shift don't claim it's a sim-oriented type racing game.

Re: What is the best starting car?

Mazda RX8 or Honda S2000 for the starting car. But once you buy a car, you can then do quick races, like running 1 lap at the tiny oval Miyatomi, for $2,000 a race. You can also run a longer race where it's easy to follow the racing line, which will increase your driver level and unlock an invitatio...

Re: NFS ProStreet: Car Codes

I can't use patch 1.1 because it messes up the steering on my system. I remember using Tsearch to be able to buy the F1, but when I tried to race with the F1, it was invisible, and didn't move. Is this a known problem with trying to get the F1 into version 1.0 of ProStreet?

It's working fine for me. I didn't setup any port forwarding, but I see a long list of ip addresses starting with 5.xxx.xxx.xxx created and/or used by Hamachi. I don't use a router, so don't know if that would be an issue.

At the main menu, the first menu shown after you start the game, not the career menu. Just key in the cheat codes and you'll get a text box stating cheat is enabled.

The cheat codes work in career mode. Speedbreaker helps a lot with the muscle cars.

While in a race day lobby, there's a time out and the menus fade away, but then a logo and a "show menus" icon appears. Is there anyway to get rid of this? A clue on where to start looking? Would this be somewhere in globablmemoryfile.bin?
