Can't get Daytona to work

3 posts by 3 people · 07 Dec 1997 - 25 Dec 1997

I downloaded a copy of Daytona from a web site,and installed it in a folder named DIS. I have already installed a 98 season calander that includes both Daytona races,yet my race drop down menu in the sim doesn't have either Dayatona race listed. Anyone have any ideas on how I can get Daytona to work? I installed a copy of Indy and it works just fine. Thanks, Joel Willstein

I installed "Daytona" in the USA directory, let it load and pack the Talladega files and when I run, my car doesn't stay on the track. What I mean is the track banks and my car stays low. Like racing on Daytona, but the graphics are Taladega. the tracks aren't the same, and I'm driving through the grass, under the track, way above the track, etc. I've had problems with previous "Daytona" tracks. I think it's a sham. If anyone has a REAL fix for this, let me know.

Joel, Does your calendar file(nascar98.cal if you have the BGNSEP, calendar if not), have the DIS line? It should read: 1 2 28 0 0 DIS Daytona_500 Daytona_500 The DIS must EXACTLY MATCH the directory you installed Daytona in. If it's not in DIS, it won't work. Email me and tell me what happens. Bob
