Fantasy Tracks problem?

I can't get them to run. I unzipped them into my nascar directory and ran the calendar.bat file. When I go to the game I can't select the track anywhere. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Brent

the important thing, once you have your files in the right place, (I unzipped mine into the Nascar2\tracks directory) is to rename your current calendar file in the nascar2 directory (I used oldcalendar) and cut the new calendar file from the tracks directory and paste it into Nascar2 directory ...this should work fine, and if you ever want to go back to your old calendar, simply delete (or rename) the new one,,,,and rename your old one back to calendar :) hope it helps Sit down,,Strap in,,Shut up,,Hang on,,Go fast,,Turn left,,Kiss Trophy Girl GGGGGGgoooo #3,,,31,,,28,,,94,,,6,,,5,,,18,,,8,,, Handy^man

The problem is with the directions. They say put them in your Nascar2 directory, not in the Nascar2\Tracks directory. Something which should be updated in the " readme " file, but which should have been noticed when installing the tracks. After all, tracks do go in the TRACKS directory, right? :-) >> I can't get them to run. I unzipped them into my nascar directory and ran

duhhh... I looked in the Nascar2 directory and said "Now why didn't I think of that?". Anyways, it fixed my problem and the tracks are pretty cool. I dig Red Rock.

I think the directions are incorrect. They should say to unzip the files under your tracks subdirectory within your nascar directory, not into your nascar directory. That's where I put mine, and it works fine. Once you move the directories, they should show up in the game. Good Luck.

You should also run the calendar.bat file in the nascar2 directory and not the tracks subdirectory. ie. move all calendar.* files into the nascar2 directory after unzipping the tracks.zip file in the tracks subdirectory.

Make sure they are in the NASCAR2/TRACKS directory. Think the program will unzip them like this NASCAR2/REDROCK. They have to be in the TRACKS directory.
