N2 - Activate Downloaded Tracks

I downloaded Track LasVegas.zip from geocities.com. Had no trouble unzipping and executing. It created a Lasvegas folder with all necessary files. Why doesn't that track come up in Nascar2? Do I need something else other than what came with Nascar2? Ernie

Remember to add the track in your calendar file!!!! Best, Edwin Solheim Check out The Paddock - a legendary site... for some cool Grand Prix Legends stuff and tips! (http://home.c2i.net/thepaddock)

Just add a line in one of the calendar files and you'll be set. David Martin

you need to edit calender to have las vegas come up

You've got to make sure that the calendar file name is EXACTLY the same as the file name in the "track".txt file. Otherwise, N2 can't find it to list it. In other words, don't put 'daytona' in the calendar file if the track file was FIS.

N2HQ solved my problem. It solves a lot of problem and makes installation much easier.
