problems with gpl track downloading..losing default tracks

by phillip derric » Fri, 04 May 2001 17:45:19

I need someone to help explain to me how it is that I can download a track,
only to find out that a different track has been removed my my programs
selection. I have the 11 default traks, and have downloaded 15 more. I have
heard that the game should support 64 traks. When I peaked at 26 I lost a
trak at random. I would reinstall the missing trak only to find another one
missing. Now, however, it has affected my Zandvort Trak. The folder still
exists in "tracks" and the .ini folders still contain the trak but when i
play the game and go to select the trak to drive, I dont see the Zandvort
program cover any more, making it impossible to select the trak. I dont know
if others have experienced this and what the fix is, but it's making me
nuts....please help. Thank you, Phil Derrick

I have the same problem... only some of the installed tracks show up.
The solution is to cycle them the other way around... that presents you with
the missing tracks, believe it or not ;)

If you have chosen e.g. Monaco... go Mexico, Kyalami, addon, addon, addon
until you get to Zanvoort.

Edit your season.ini file (in the seasons folder) and near the top of
that file is something like 'total tracks=26'. Make sure that number
is correct.
