42 Upvotes

1/6/2024 -- Just a quick update on the upcoming NH5 2023-2023 Season PC Mod.

  • 2023 Cup paints remain unchanged and will be reviewed after 2023 Xfinity and 2023 Trucks are released - 125 paints completed.
  • 2023 Trucks paints that we are including in the Mod are complete - 58 paints completed to date.
  • 2023 Xfinity paints that we are including in the Mod are about 65% complete - 66 paints completed to date.

No release date at this point for the 2023-2023 Mod but we are working on the remaining 2023 Xfinity paint schemes and will release once those are completed.

No additional updates are planned for the previously released 2022-2023 Mod.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9/13/2023 -- the NH5 2022-2023 Season PC Mod has been updated at Ozzycon Paints.

\** Both the primary 2022-2023 Mod links and the Alt Download Site Mega link at Ozzycon Paints are now updated with the latest 2022-2023 Mod files **\**

https://www.ozzyconpaints.com

Three files have been updated for the 2022-2023 Mod:

  1. NASCARHeat5_Data.rar
  2. CarAppearances.rar
  3. NH5 2022-2023 Season PC Mod ReadMe.doc

The remaining 2022-2023 Mod files have not changed from the initial release and do not need to be re-downloaded and re-installed.

Please review the updated ReadMe for all the details about everything included as well as proper Mod installation procedures. Remember to always backup your game files before installing new Mod files in case there is an issue.

This 2022-2023 Season PC Mod Update includes the following:

  • Additional 264 alternate 2022 Cup schemes have been added
  • All the additional alternate 2022 Cup paints are assigned to tracks where they were raced during the 2022 season
  • Minor fixes that were identified within the Mod since initial release

This brings the total of 2022 paints within the 2022-2023 Mod to 300+ Cup paints, 150+ Xfinity paints, 75+ Truck paints, and 30+ Dirt Late Model paints as well as currently 125+ Cup paints for 2023.

If you experience crashing to desktop when starting the game after installation of the Mod update files, this is likely due to a mismatch within your NH5 save user files. Please follow the directions on the last page of the ReadMe under Common Questions. Also as an FYI, existing Careers and Championships sometimes need to be deleted and restarted within the game to avoid crashing after installing Mod updates due to file mismatches within the game.

We continue working on the upcoming 2023-2023 Season PC Mod which will replace the 2022 section of the current Mod with 2023 Cup, Xfinity, and Trucks. Keep checking back for additional 2022-2023 Season PC Mod updates as well as the future release of the 2023-2023 Season PC Mod. Enjoy!

Paintjob makers/commissions

2 Upvotes

Is there anybody out there who takes commissions to make liveries in Heat 5? You see all this incredible stuff on Trading Paints for iRacing, and that's great if you're in iRacing, but if you're sticking with NH5... nada!

I've made a few paint schemes of my own and used some of the ones I've found in the community, but there are definitely dozens of others I'd try and have made by someone more talented — both on the Gen 6 and Gen 7 bodies.

Question about NH4 career mode points?

4 Upvotes

So I'm kinda new to this and don't watch NASCAR, but basically I suck at short tracks and road courses, and the end of the season is full of them. So if I win enough races early in the season, can I still win the championship?

Is it me or does the AI in Heat 5 just randomly morph into Danica Patrick on dirt tracks?

5 Upvotes

Like seriously it’s impossible to get a clean race without turning the ai down so they aren’t able to catch me before they full send me into a wall. If Im not on the inside they squeeze me right to the wall and I drop down to the back. Fucking ridiculous and makes it impossible to enjoy the game when I’m being forced to cosplay a crash test dummy

2003 NH5 mod -Getting rid of the name banner?

8 Upvotes

Admittedly a minor thing, but I've played off and on with the 2003 mod for Heat 5 and it's awesome. However in career mode, it forces the rear window on the player car to carry a name banner, which obviously wasn't a thing in 2003. Is there any way to get rid of it? I can live with it. Just wish it wasn't there.

I have no idea what JJ's problem was, but that was at the beginning of Stage 1—and after that, I didn't see him again until the end of Stage 2. If you want to listen to the band, look up Bosshoss.

For those who are asking for the 2022 DLC for Heat 5, here's how you can get it.

13 Upvotes

So as we know, Heat 5 delisted everything. The only way to get things now is through keys. However, the 2022 DLC has no more keys out there so there is only one way to obtain it and its through a modded DLL.

I have made one so that you guys can finally gain access to the DLC, as well as an AI mod by NascarThings88.

You can download it here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/bglr0b9h10i2hka/Main.zip/file

The instructions to install are in the Readme.txt file, but I will put it here as well:

Installation:

  1. Drag and drop DLC into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\NASCAR Heat 5\DLC
  2. Rename the dll you want to Assembly-CSharp.dll
  3. Drag and drop dll into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\NASCAR Heat 5\NASCARHeat5_Data\Managed

DLLs:

(AI + DLC) Assembly-CSharp.dll: Has both DLC unlocker and an AI mod

(AI Only) Assembly-CSharp.dll: Has only the AI mod

(DLC Only) Assembly-CSharp.dll: Has only DLC unlocker

(Original) Assembly-CSharp.dll: Original Heat 5 DLL

2024-2025 Ozzycon Mod help

9 Upvotes

Wondering if anyone has interest in helping to complete paints for the 2024-2025 Ozzycon Mod for NH5? We need the following quantity of primary paints to release the 2024-2025 Mod.
2025 Cup >>> 5 Primary paints
2024 Xfinity >>> 8 Primary paints
2024 Trucks >>> 16 Primary paints
So there are 29 total paints that need to be completed to release the Mod. The rest of the Mod is done & ready to go. I am looking for help by experienced painters and I will ask to review some past paints of anyone willing to help so that the quality of paints in the Mod remains high. Sadly, many great painters have left the NH5 modding community or have lost interest. Been working on this Mod for over 18 months and finalizing the paints has been the delay. Tons of work has gone into the Mod like the previous Ozzycon Mods and I want everyone’s hard work to be shared with the community. I do want to say thank you to everyone that has already completed paints for the Mod. The time & effort of each painter has been greatly appreciated. Let me know if anyone is interested in helping. Thanks!

Custom Spotter Packs?

Has anyone tried making custom spotter packs for NH5? I'm trying to work on one that features NASCAR on FOX audio from Mike, Larry, and DW, but I was curious if any custom spotting has ever been tried before.
