Does anyone know why you can't use the converted, enhanced versions of
the ICR2 tracks in the The Pits Touring Car Championship patch?

This problem is being worked on. For now the best solution would be to
change the track name in the CALANDER (in your N2 directory) file to
PORTHQ, LAGUNAHQ or ELKHQ depending on which tracks have been converted.

Remember, at present TPTCC is a beta test.

I'm not sure if I did something "right", but I had no problem using
the enhanced versions of Portland, Laguna Seca or Elkhart Lake with
the TPTCC patch.  I did a second install of N2, ran the TPTCC
installation, converted the ICR2 HQ tracks, and modified the CALENDAR
file as Dave suggests above.

It's probably the order in which I did everything that made the
difference (plus a clean install of N2 doesn't hurt).  Sometimes it's
best to take the simplest approach! :)

I also had success after manually editing the calendar file and
transfering the ai and other stuff to the HQ tracks. BTW, anyone notice
that running the 4-bit cars at certain tracks (can't remember which, but
I know there are at least two) is a no-go. Screwed up colors big time.
One has a blue track. Anyway it's no big deal since I really don't see
that much gain running the 4-bit cars, I just assume it's faster but I
can't really tell.
