Does it actually change the banking (banking at Texas is a lot less than
C***te), or does it just change the name?

My apologies, but it has come to my attention that I made a major error in
the
CONVERT.BAT file. Seems I didn't change it back to the c:\ drive before
putting
it up. That error has now been corrected, so those having trouble with
it, can
download fixed file.

Actually, I think if you look at track details on
http://www.racesimcentral.net/***te.html and
http://www.racesimcentral.net/
that the banking listed for both tracks is 24 degrees for the turns. I was
at Texas this weekend, and have also been to C***te (heck, I live in the
city of C***te, but crazy enough,have only been to the track twice). I
will say that except for the fact that the facilities at TMS are all brand
new (and thus for the most part, a lot nicer, except for parking) and the
track is almost a full lane narrower, the two tracks are virtually
identical. The major reason the tracks don't race the same is due to TMS
being narrower (especially in the dogleg) and because a 2nd, high groove
has not had a chance to develop in the track.
But, I'm fairly certain this 'patch' just changes the name.

For the testing of this great conversion program, please look for a guniea
pig, but not me, for I have already have had a virus on my Pentium-60.
Still, IndyCar II and N1 run good on it.

The banking is the same for the 2 tracks but the transion between the turns
and straighta ways at Texas is very abrupt. At C***te the banking gets
gradully lower coming off the turns, at Texas it goes from 24 to 8
