Welcome aboard jeremie.

Firstly, please read this: viewtopic.php?t=4087

Secondly, track and truck pods can be placed anywhere on your system, although most folks like to use sub-folders within the game folder.

In case the first link is not clear, you need a program like Cowpod to help you mount your pods so they're usable: http://mtm2.com/~mtmg/cowpod/

This page may be of some help too.

both r correct, tho both r biased in a way, you dont "need" a third party program to install your tracks and trucks, and you dont need the fix pods etc. its all up to your choice, i believe phin's link explains how to manually pod if you dont feel comfortable using third party programs.

Good luck and welcome to the MTM2 world of gaming hehe.

Slayer, I'm curious. How is somebody biased by offering helpful information or providing a link that hundreds and even thousands of people have learned from?

first post *****

second post****
At this point, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you get this 556K file called Fixmore4.pod. UnZip it to your "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Monster Truck Madness 2" folder, then run PodIt and you will see this line on the right.

Fixmore4.pod
Click it with the mouse to move it to the left. Then left click and drag to put it at the very top of the list.

There is a text file in the .zip that explains what Fixmore4.pod does, but suffice it to say it does what it says, it fixes several hundred minor MTM2 bugs

Oh, cause the first one implied that you must have a program do it for you, and the second implied you must have (another program) and that the fix pod was important, so its not really telling the whole story from every angle, which of course is ok. Without knowing this person personally, i figured it would be good to provide a third perspective to inform the person that they don't need other programs, and don't need extra pods and such, just that they help. It's always good to know all sides of the story, or as many as possible, dont u agree phin?

And i beleive i did mention phin that your link was probably the best, if i didnt im saying it now.

Sure. I guess the way I think is that it's best to get the guy going the quickest and easiest way to begin. There is always time to learn the finer points as you go along so he doesn't suffer from information overload right from the get-go.

But all's good.
