Thx to all who replied and to those that sent me the file.
Unfortunately,I still can't get the add on tracks to work. MCO gives me the
white Default and a CTD.
I tried downloading the Thunder 2004 demo and transfering those Commons, but
no joy there either.
I'll keep trying, because I"m sure I want more tracks in the other mods.

   Which track, where is it installed, and what do the .scn and .gdb files
say.  Send me the top two sections of the .scn file.  If you are getting
default loading screens, that usually means it's missing a file, which is
NOT a deal-breaker, thats why the default is there.  So first we figure out
which track and where it is looking for the .mas files and then we rewrite
the scn file to properly point to your install.  I haven't dloaded the MCO
mod, but I'll get right on that to see how they have set it up.

   Ok, here are few things to check.  First, copy from one of the default
MCO tracks(those would be the original F1 tracks) two files.
2002_LOD.jpg
2002_LOD_2.jpg

 Those will cover up the default loading screens.  Next, the .scn file is
probably pointing to another seasondata folder.  Like F1c\Seasondata
instead of MCO\seasondata

  And the common files should be installed just like another track.  So
nestled between the Canada and Europe track folders would be the Common
folder.

Thx Dave.
I'm just getting around to having enough time to start editing. It seems
like an awful lot of trouble, but seems easy enough. I wonder if anyone's
made an editor that would make this stuff a wee bit easier/simpler.
I did it with F1 2002, but this F1C has more, plus I have RH's mod also.
Hopefully I'll have something done and working by the end of the weekend.
I'll have more time now that the RASCAR boys have gone elitist.

   You would think a track utility would be easy, but, especially with F1c,
the different mod guys all approach collecting the tracks differently.
Technically, all the mods can share the tracks in the main seasondata
folder.  But more and more, it looks like the individual mods are using
separate seasondata\circuits folders.
   You might want to examine the ETCC mods pre-menu.  It has several
functins, including a button to import tracks from other mods into ETCC.
Works very well, but I don't do coding so I'm not sure how it's done.
