>> Hi guys,

>> Ive d'loaded a few "add-on" tracks fro f1 99-02. The latest was
>> Imola 1994, I used the self exratting tool which came with the
>> d'load and extracted to my Season/tracks folder. this appears to
>> instal the track ok, but when I play the sim I dont see it?

>> Do I have to do something else like in  GPL when the "seasons"
>> file needs manipulating?

>> I searched eveywhere for further instal notes, with no success.
>> The self extract has no Help file, and Google no help.

>> Im sure its an easy one,.but Im stumped.

>> Thanks in advance guys.

>Go to the directory where F1C is installed and look for
>/SeasonData/Circuits/<track name>

>In the directory for the installed track, look for a file with a .gdb

>Open this file with a text editor. Notepad will do if you have

>Edit the line that begins "Filter Properties" to have the year that

>Note: there are two formats for listing the years/mods. The first is
>to use commas. The second is to use "1999 AND 2000 AND 2001 AND

>To use the track in some of the mods, add the mod name to the Filter
