Car File Modifier – Use this if you need to switch a car file from CTS/GNS/CUP/PTA physics to another type of physics. For example, if you downloaded a car mod that uses GNS physics, but you downloaded cars for that car mod and it uses CTS or Cup physics… simply convert the file to work and presto!
Aero88 Mod by The US Pits
The Aero88 Mod is the original car mod for the NR2003 simulator. It was released all the way back in 2004, initially created as a tutorial to help future mods by future creators make their visions come to life. As it stands, the Aero88 mod continues to be one of the most popular mods to ever be released for NR2003. While The US Pits, the creators of this mod, no longer have their site as it once was, new sim drivers are looking for the mod and carsets for it every day. With that said, I wanted to do my part to keeping it available for download for all who want to play.
If you’re looking for carsets for this mod, you can find them under the carsets tab at the top of the page.
