sunil, updating manually is still possible with CSM. I always hated using sets or mods, so made my own sets, and with CSM its much easier. I've made hundreds of requests to Zaz to make CSM better, so I can make better mods too.
CSM just offers so much, and it takes away alot of the hassle with packing/unpacking wads, naming cars and slots, and now with TSM you can easily choose any track you want to race on - not just you have installed.
So wether you use this mod or do it manually I still recomend CSM
As for the locking I think its a good thing, and very happy it got working. I know Fongu probably wouldn't have released his cars at all after what happened to his initial release, and I don't know about kizz, wether he wouldv'e released or not.
But lile I said, the lock is in a beta stage and Zaz plans to make it better, and make it possible to use it without CSM (i think!!)
And Zaz and I (and others) have always been helpful with CSM trouble, and will carry on that way for a while yet.
You can always visit the CSM forum for help too: [
