Having trouble converting NL tracks! Please help!

Hello all.  I have been attempting to convert some N99/N3 tracks to NL
using the converted track programs that are out there.  At first, I was
having trouble with all the tracks.  I would run the conversion program
and when I would try to load the track I would get the following error
message: Could Not Load Complete Track Description.  Someone told me
that this was because the track folders were missing some vital files.
I kept at it and eventually managed to get most of the tracks to work.
However, I am still having trouble with three of the tracks... Langley
Field, Middle Georgia, and Kingsport.  Does anyone know why these won't
load.  What files should be in the directory?  Any help would be really
appreciated!

Oh yeah, one more thing.  When I converted N99 Hickory to NL Hickory the
track loaded okay, but when I got there the colors of the cars were all
crazy.  Is this because the palettes don't match?  Could I fix this by
running it through a palette converter like I would with N3 tracks?

Thanks!

Chris

  there is a pallatte convertor at the uspits.com but it doesn't work on all
tracks.  We got 'most' of the N tracks working for NL and the Pits 70's
Trans AM patch but the convertor wasn't able to fix some of them.
  I beleive the tracks can be hand edited to correct the pallatte problems,
but I have no knowledge of the procedure.  I would suggest visiting the TEAM
Friendship web pages, they have been doing quite a-lot of track conversions.
Perhaps they can help.
Good luck
