I just installed the service pack 3.0 and the update but would like to change the season schedules to my liking. Is there a way to do this, and if so how do I go about it?

Most of this is from memory so bear with me...there should be a sp3.0 readme file that explains this...but....the schedule is inside a file called matrix.mc which "should" be in the dat folder. Now I can't remember but I think sp3.0 already unzips the matrix.mc file for you..if so you should be able to load it using notepad and look at the schedule. Bascially to stop certain events just comment out the line in the schedule for the paticular group..i.e. the beginner cars, or the GT cars etc. put two / in front of the line...there are plenty of comments in the file so you should be able to figure it out. // means everything else on the line is ignored. Like a REM statement in basic. If the sp3.0 doesn't unzip the file you can use winzip or other zip programs to unzip it...yes even tho it say's it's a .mc file your unzipper can open and extract the contents. (the touring car mod has the same file but it's called matrix.tc) If you are adding tracks you need to make sure you follow the same format as the other tracks. the #'s are for time in minutes so if you want longer or shorter races adjust those #'s accordingly. That's kinda nebulous I know, but it's been years since I messed with the service pak...good luck. dave henrie
Thanks for the walkthrough. I've got it all set up to my liking now. Dave Henrie wrote:
