I never DID figure out how to get that to work. I installed it last week, and kept getting an "error loading track". WTF?

Did you delete the old files before installing the new ones? If not, try that. And download again from the Pits of course, maybe the zip you have is simply damaged. Achm

*What* new ones? There's another version? There isn't an install program in the version I had. Yes, I deleted all the files and copied them over again. I'll try to download again.

Because if you had for some reason a file in there which isn't part of the original track, it perhaps wouldn't get deleted when you installed the track again. I try that first when an install fails. The second step for me is to download the archive again and see if that helps. Other than that, I've never found any track not to load unless there really was an error in the track files, but in that case the track wouldn't work for anyone. Achim

Well, I haven't been having too much luck recently. I can't get the ETCC mod to work on my server, I have tracks that won't run on my home system, etc. Then I have weird stuff going on in real life. Like I said before, sometimes it feels like the universe is against me...

They changed race times, and I forgot about it. I showed up at the normal time only to find the race was over. WTF...? This is getting ridiculous...

Cheer up mate. Now suppose, if the universe is REALLY against you at the moment. You would have showed up on time and finished dead last after driving like a nutter and having an off in every corner. So now you have been spared all that aggravation. What a relief! See? It can always get worse, that should make you happy ;) (What should also cheer you up is when you get to try those BRM setups and probably find yourself a few seconds faster at Mosport. Which I'm sure you WILL after some practice. If I can, you can!) Regards, Rudy (GPLRank -21)

Ah yes - but the reason I sent 'em is that they take a lot of the difficulty (or 'evil', if you're so inclined) out of the BRM while still giving a decent amount of speed. Setups can make an amazing amount of difference - I HATED driving the Honda until I found a superb setup for it, which drove very nicely - now I merely dislike it with a passion, but at least I can get it around without grumbling bout the handling as well ;) Regards, Rudy (GPLRank -21)
