Someone posted a post a few months back on how to turn Talladega into a track called "DaytonaB" ...can someone repost those hints? From what I remember, copy all files into a directory called "DaytonaB" Rename all files from "Talladega.whatever" to "DaytonaB.whatever" Edit all dat files and txt files to say DaytonaB wherever it says Talladega. Is this correct????? Cheers! ??Jan Kohl?? **Mad Yanks Racing Team** Computer Systems Programmer USAF Air-Ground Operations School Hurlburt Field, FL <http://www.castlegraphics.com/~jkohl/index.html>
You have to edit the taladega.dat file and replace with daytonab. But in the text file you want to to put the new track name Daytona Superspeedway, Daytona Beach, Florida. Also rename the two files as daytonab.dat or txt. Make sure the new directory has the daytonab name also. It works, just tried it. Later, Lyman

Does it actually drive differently from Talledega or is it the same track with different names?

Same track, different name. To save more space, just edit your calendar file. Change DAYTONA with TALADEGA. Go #6 Mark Martin and #16 Ted Musgrave - Jack Roush Racing!! NASCAR Racing!! http://innet.com/~sean/nascar/nascar.html <--NASCAR Racing Sim page

What does this exactly accomplish? Does it somehow transform Talladega into an accurate representation of Daytona, or just change the names from Talladega to Daytona? Bill.

All it does is put a Daytona Beach selection in the index. It does NOT change the track. You could have named it Mars if you wanted to. It's easier just to change the calendar text files.

yes it might work but the track itself wil still be Talladega, wont it?
Your correct. The only thing you really gain is being able to put Daytona in your calander file. You can also modify some other data in the new daytonab.txt file to make the AI cars run differently, or the race length different, etc... But the track is still Talladega. Just something new to tinker with. Later, Lyman
