Need help installing new map.

[mikeinva]

I'm new to the forum & was wondering if anyone has a step by step guide for installing custom maps?I downloaded the 2009 map for AHL but havn't done anything with it yet as I don't want to risk messing up my game.

I'm running AHL via the big city rigs CD & had more than a heck of a time just trying to find the cheat window but have since figured that out but this is a bit more complex so any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Ok! Make a new folder on your desktop and call it what ever map you have. Have you got winrar or winzip or even 7zip. If you do then just click or double click on the downloaded zip file and you will see when it opens in winrar or what ever about 4 or 5 files I think and a read-me. Now highlight the files showing in winrar and either extract or drag the files to the new folder on your desktop. Now highlight the files in that folder on your desktop and copy them, then open your Documents folder then Alh game folder then mod folder and paste those file into your mod folder and there you go.

Any more Quetions! Don't be afraid to ask.

Thanks 4Pete,got the mods installed & running with no problems.

I've noticed a bit of lag though when trying to run with the mirrors on,I didn't have any lag running with mirrors on prior to installing the mods so I'll try adjusting the detail quality from medium to low to see if that improves the FPS.

Yeah! that's exactly what my computer used to do until I rebuilt it. and You might find that in the city's it will lag.

I'm getting a bit of lag when on the highways so I'm gonna go ahead & adjust the LOD settings & perhaps resolution as well.My system is fairly new & can handle the game just fine prior to the mods but I suppose the lag is due to the increase in deatil provided by the new textures/items.

Could be. Let me know how you get on.
