Nascar Heat and Mods?
I've finally found via Ebay a UK supplier of the US sim Nascar Heat, on which a number of mods are based. I onyl really want it to be able to try Brisca Heat* (as I was an avid supporter of BRISCA when I studied in Manchester back in the mid-80s).
But what other mods are there out there (and does anyone have any links to mods sitting in their "favourites"?). BTW, I'm getting it for £6.45 including p&p. (*In case anyone wonders what I'm talking about briscaheat Last edited by Aysedasi; 14 Jan 2005 at 22:46. |

Sorry, looks like I may have had the last (or even only) one.......
All the others on Ebay atm seem to be in the States..... I have to say, I've been trying to find a copy of this for a year or more..... Last edited by Aysedasi; 14 Jan 2005 at 20:43. |

When I played HEAT this is where I got most of the mods. I don't know if all the links are still good though. I recall the BriscaHeat mod being pretty good. The cars were a real handful. The DTM mod was pretty good too.

the spirit of heat, the old 1920's ish racers is great. tough to get right, as the Heat physics seem to be all or nothing not as smooth as N2K3 or GPL, but what is?
but this really tranlates the VTA-vintage trans am mod so very well, it sounds and looks great and drives a breeze... http://www.texasspeedracing.com/files.shtml http://home.earthlink.net/~cruise_ctrl/index.html further down you will see the Spirit of Heat |

Several sites have both mods for HEAT and Forums. There are several online racing leagues as well.
Texas Speed Racing has road racing mods and a busy forum. http://www.texasspeedracing.com/ SCORE (Sports Car Online Racing Experience), also caters to HEAT road racers. http://www.score.does.it/ Blackhole Motorsports (BHMS to most) has a wide range of files and forum commentary devoted to HEAT racing mods. http://www.bhmotorsports.com/board/ Several sites are on Race Sim Central (currently undergoing repairs after a bad case of Internet Server Flu). A good list of resources and files can be found on BHMS forum in this thread: http://www.bhmotorsports.com/board/v...ic.php?t=25825 I have seen copies of HEAT for PC occasionally on AMAZON.com. There are other versions for dedicated platforms like Xbox and the titles can be confusing. The version you need is the original PC version simply called NASCAR HEAT, made by MGI, and distributed by Hasbro in 1999 and 2000. There are a number of upgrade patches you will want to get. Some are available on BHMS and some are found on the various other sites. |

Thanks a lot for those links Doc. I'm still waiting for the game to arrive (and yes, I was very careful to buy the right one!). I've already downloaded a few mods and patches in anticipation!

I don't know the details, but I understand that the demo can be used in leu of the full game by updating it with the patches. Maybe a faster way for some of you to get in to the action sooner?
While you are searching for it online, also check if any game pak's have it included with other software.. I've seen it bundled in at least 3 game-paks here in the states. GL on the hunting. While the number of Mods for Heat are plentiful, and more are still being developed, don't forget to check out the number of tracks available also. I have over 100 tracks installed and know that I don't have them all. Lucky has most of the road tracks on his site for DL, the links the Doc posted will lead to other sources too. Lucky's OSRC site Heats less complicated interface and options makes for no-hassle, fun race events and league play. Plenty of online action going on. See ya @ the Races. B^) |

Well, this is terrific fun!
After an initial hiccup when it didn't seem to want to run on XP - which is resolved by running in Win2000 compatibility mode (thanks to the guys at RSC for that), I had a few laps in the Nascars before installing BRISCA Heat. And what a hoot that is. Easy to use interface and great fun racing. As it is a sim made over 4 years ago now, it runs like a dream on my pc - even reporting that my pc's specs are "awesome"...... I recommend it if you can get hold of it. (Time to try some of the other dozens of mods..... ) Last edited by Aysedasi; 20 Jan 2005 at 08:38. |
