For those who have problem with FPS drop, try Car Array Patch instead of Unlimiter, worked for me.
But what about 4th January update? What did it fix or change?
And when can we expect MX-5 and SL55? And is there any more cars coming?
Thank you Improvement mod team for this awesome mod!!!

After I play for a while the FPS drops to very low numbers and the game crashes. Cool mod though

dear @379Felipe

i'm using a collectors edition of NFS carbon V1.4 and installed NFS unlimiter prior to installing the mod.
at the beginning of the game, i can only use the standard t1 cars with the addition of the cobalt SS, punto, Camaro concept and koeningsegg CCX. is this intentional?
i use autosave.
the game works fine except for a rear bumper from an rx-8 opponent not showing, but when i loaded a saved profile, the game crashes. Any ideas as to why this happenes?
kind regards,
Floran

@Garfham @LuckyLuke It is not crashing. Just wait for it to finish the install.
@Wolf @SyntheticSnow Disable MissingPartsFix or download Car Array Patch
@Mi40 Not this mod. Probably Widescreen fix
