Second Install of GPL Converted Track Screws Up Track Screen

I ran the ICR2-to-GPL converter a second time to fix the flagman. Now when entering either Loudon or Phoenix, the track screen shows Monza info. The race distance and track lengths are reported correctly, but the replica program and "grand prix of..." info are all for Monza. The flagman is now fixed. However, when I toggle through the tracks to start a session, I now have three Monzas. Any ideas on how to correct this? Thanks, Jim

I have the same problem, Cheers, Paul

Hmm... I was about to do this, too. But maybe delete the Loudon and Phoenix (and any other converts) directories in the GPL\Tracks directory before running the converter again... --Dave

I've done the same thing (ran the original, then a week later ran the revised version over it to fix the flagman) and I don't have this problem. The programs are black with just the track/GP name on them, and inside is blank (where the large version of the track map would be). Weird.

Make sure that you have all the patch files in the same directory as the converter .exe file. There ought to be a bunch of Phoenix.* files and NwEnglnd.* files. The only other possibility I can think of is low disk space, but you'd have to be very low. Regards Dave Noonan

You're right here, Dave, that seems to be the secret. I went back to having no converted tracks, killed the new directories, killed the entries from 67season.ini and gp.ini and then reconverted. Now I have the new piccies. Cheers, Paul
