It's finally that time again. Now is your chance to race in the ApexSpeed.com Sim League. Please make note of the general requirements for running in the league. Installation instructions are in the "Installation" sticky thread by RJB99.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
1. Installed and functioning version of Nascar Heat (PC) and the F2000 mod FINAL version.
2. Good Internet connection with a maximum ping rate of 300 or less (some dial-up connections are less than 300).
3. Installed copies of THE LATEST series road racing tracks from Texas Speed Forum web site. (new tracks as added). If you're unsure if you have the latest releases or not, download them again. About 6 or so of the existing tracks have had changes made to them.
4. Nascar Heat NO-CD patch, final official game patch 1.72e then updated to the current game patch 1.80.
5. Game controller is restricted to store purchased steering wheels and pedals that aren't modified in any way nor are able to be programmed to aid driving in any way (aside from text macros).
To be placed on the league roster, send an e-mail to me:
keith AT apexspeed DOT com (Replace AT with @ and DOT with .)
and state/supply ALL the following in the e-mail:
FULL NAME
NICKNAME
E-MAIL ADDRESS TO BE USED FOR THE LEAGUE
LOCATION YOU ARE FROM
STEERING WHEEL/PEDAL MAKE AND BRAND
CONNECTION TYPE (Dial-Up, Cable, DSL)
REQUESTED CAR SKIN (or supply one in the e-mail)
AIM SCREEN NAME
DRIVER IMAGE - TEMPLATE
EDIT: The driver picture template is a file blank for a picture of your face to be placed into. It's the picture that shows up next to your name when the results screen and driver's grid screen appear. It'd be nice to put a face with the people you are racing with. Any kind of program that lets you modify .tga files will let you put an image of yourself in the template. You then need to name the file the same as your name in HEAT and place it into the F2000 folder.
All of the most recent car skins can be downloaded HERE .
