And at the view racers it only shows the picture from the driver, and no spinning vehicle .

Did you unzip the zip file with folder construction maintained? Also indeed there's no racers anim if you go to see to whom you're racing against. I didn't put that with it :smile: i don't think any custom add-on car has it anyway.

If some of car files are missing, the game won't work propertly.

1. First you nead to use cheat code to decrypt all game text files.

2. You need to unpack the archive with some zip unpacker. There's enough free ones. I'm using 7-zip though.

3. You need to check if all the files required exist in data subfolder of game dir:

3.a. Car txt files must be placed in cars folder of data subdir

3.b. .act, .mat, .dat, etc. files must be placed in folders where other like files ar keeped of data subdir

4. Car info must be added into opponent.txt file and count of files (1st line on file) must be increased

If unpacker you're using unpacks all files in root dir it's wrongly configured.

Edit: If one executable doesn't show error, try another, and if it doesn't help there's many tools to monitor file (and other resource) access like FileMon for example.

ahem. Don't know much, but fli files are those for animations and images. To edit them you nead carmagedit (it edits much more). Anyway always use search. They're placed in anim subfolder of C1 data folder for quick reference.
