ok added you.

For that versoin of mod we had taken cars and tracks from drift events. In the upcoming version all tracks and cars put back in their normal events with tracks and cars added in where we want.

Forum for mod is now active near top of page. If you still don't see it then click Moddb.com

As seen in pic, when you own this car we still need to fix the position of car number/sponsors.

Yes you can do that when you use hamachi or tungle to play online.There is 6 events in the online list dedicated to select any car with each event being able to select a certain amount of tracks.

Have fun with that.

The free drift area was only put in there so it could be used online for cops/robbers style derby or for fun. Just have to crash or retire for that track.

An update to the mod is under way and hopefully permission is given by codemasters to allow us to provide the acat mod and all dlc's for grid in one package. You can follow this thread Community.codemasters.com

Without permission then it will just be the acat mod update which has: - -drift cars readded by themselves as new race cars which are purchasable.
-white tint used for every car skin instead of yellow tint so white cars are actually white.
-dirt and scratches are no longer stored. Car will look brand new for every race and take dirt/scratches as hit.
-new cars have really low price.
-with new profile all cars available to drive in freerace mode.
-2 new events made in freerace mode, acat race rules and acat derby rules.
-all cars available to drive in both touge events.
-20 plus team brandings for your career car have been added for selection.
-career has extra car selections available,, for instance for the aston vs corvette event, you choose any of the gt1 cars to go against them. Only the 6 standard events in career for acat online remain as they were from last version so online acat still exists.
-ryder's language tool allowed us to do up some proper entries for the mod but only for english.

quick mod run through freerace changes, please note that the dlc packs were edited to work with acat freerace events and we require permission to include them with mod first. Xfire.com

Beer4Power12's installer has been uploaded, easy to use as if you were installing a game patch. Thanks alot Power12.

The Mod has been uploaded, just needs approval. It comes with Ryder25's Grid Mod Manager. We will also get Beer4Powers package installer uploaded for basic users very soon.

First Porche test online.

Now thats a road block ;-)

Demolition Event has 14 tracks in it and 19 ai cars.

Notice: FlatoutJoint is not the developer/publisher. It is Codemasters who developed and published this awesome game.

Stopthewalls, can you post your issue on flatoutjoint.com please. Including your pc specs and whats listed in your filesystem and patch file for flatout 2

When you are at the track selection screen, press the down arrow and now that track will be in reverse, press down arrow again and if there is a custom track for that type of track environment then you will see them.

Just an update, the mod update beta has bin compiled and includes many updates and some fixes for cp1/2 cars along with other mod changes.J89 trackpack along with purple's dd pack have been included,plus some more new tracks.Some custom tracks have updates since Gulbroz's track editor updates included the ability to give dynamic objects brand new physics and or carry over physics from objects on different tracks.For instance the fire from objects in stunts has bin used on some tracks to mark/guide where to drive thru so lap will count etc. We will get it uploaded shortly somewhere. Also to inform that we have all carpack 3 cars and will be getting the beta ready shortly.

A "could not querry filesize of patch1.bfs" tells us that you are using a patch file with patch1.bfs entry listed , only the game cannot find it in your flatout 2 folder. This tells us you did not patch your game to 1.2. If you did then something went wrong as the actual patch1.bfs file is somehow missing. If you wish for better help to get it running, goto flatoutjoint.com and post in the forums. We ask anyone looking for help to post a pic of the flatout 2 folder , showing all "bfs" files. And pics of filesystem and patch file opened so we can see whats listed to confirm proper entries and all files needed are in your flatout2 folder.

The BMW is in the same order as in the picture of car icons. So is it that you don't see any cars of carpack2? We found that if you did not create a brand new profile and then use the gievepix code in extra's menu, you will be missing certain cars. So either delete current profile and start over , or start a brand new profile.

Carpack2 part 4 of 4 has no installer, you must extract the carpack2 and updates .bfs file to your flatout 2 game directory along with the "patch" file. You must have the first 3 parts of mod installed first.

Happy to hear you like it :-) We will be updating it by June for sure, possibly earlier with carpack 3 as an addon , unless we decide to replace some stock cars that are not used much online by racers. Also in that update will be more tracks/race routes by purple44.Hope to get more tournament presets done for it and include johanus89 J89 trackpack.

Thats a good test to tryor for sure you can make a new game easy with a new folder anywhere on your computer called flatout2fojmod if you wish or something else, then all you need to do is copy fo2a.bfs, fo2b.bfs, fo2c.bfs and patch1.bfs game files to it. As well copy your savegame and screenshots folder to it, then copy over the flatout2.exe. Then install mod to it. Most of us modders have about 2 full games running the original install, a copied and renamed folder for an unpacked game to mod (after unpacking full game with bfspacker/unpacker tool.
So what I'm getting at is you can make several copies on your cpu and they all will run fine.It shouldn't require steam to run by itself. I have cd's so could not test this theory with steam.

Hopefully you get it going once carpack2 and updates installed(part 4). If you were just using parts 1-3 , then I now assume you may have bin missing the foj_community_mod_overrite.bfs.Or had removed that entry from "patch" file since we stated we don't use it anymore. Basically if anyone only still only uses parts 1-3 its needed. But with carpack2 and updates ,its not used as we included it into carpack2 and updates.

Thanks for putting together another great video Boerny666 :-), will be nice to see the rest up here.

Hi conker343qc, sorry for delay on response. Its of course holiday season . If possible can you goto flatoutjoint.com , register and upload a screen shot of your flatout2 game directory, screenshot of "filesytem" and "patch" file so we can see what the issue is.

First off, did you patch your game to v1.2?
-if you open the "filesystem" file with wordpad, you should see fo2a.bfs,fo2b.bfs,fo2c.bfs entries ,which in turn should be in game directory as they are the stock game files.
-if you open the "patch" file with wordpad (file, not the patch.bfs) then listed in this order should be :
patch1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Carpack1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Trackpack1.bfs
FOJs_Carpack2_and_updates.bfs

All those .bfs files should also be found in your game directory as its the flatout2 patch, and the entire mod. (parts 1-4)

This mod is available for download on flatoutjoint.com Flatoutjoint.com

You must get familiar with how to install this mod, by using the notrackai program first. If you do not set up the no track ai, then you will see the new track and setup but be on the original stock game race route.
