GPL Slotcar track question..

I can't wait to give it a try but, when I try to install this track... "Version One Long View Distance - High Res Horizon" http://www.cruisekids.com/gpl/slotcar/index.html It makes the directory...\GPL\tracks\slotcar But it's empty. Am I doing something wrong?

From the readme.txt: "If the install totally fails, add the following way. create folder in c:\sierra\gpl\tracks called 'slotcar' unzip all files in the archive to c:\sierra\gpl\tracks\slotcar folder edit c:\sierra\seasons\67season.ini and (optional) c:\sierra\seasons\gp.ini by adding the following: [EventXX] name=Slot Car Super Track shortname=Slot Car trackDirectory=slotcar month=6 day=10 numberOfLaps=54 startingGrid=4 Dont forget to increment the numEvents=XX line at the top of the file... and make sure the XX's agree." Hope this helps.

There were no files with the 2nd download after installing for me as well. I copied all the files manually from the slotcar track INSTALL folder to the slotcar folder in gpl tracks folder that the installer originally created. I then renamed the dat file to slotcar.dat. Pretty hilarious. Glad this version isnt in his bedroom. lol. "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
