Yes, just copy the track folders over into your C:\Papyrus\Nascar3\tracks folder and add the tracks to the calendar. > Can it be done? > Capp

<opens cans of worms> But remember that Sierra might violate any fundamental right of freedom with the official N3 patch, which could restrict our choice of tracks to only the officials ones by Papyrus. It is actually that way for the beta patch, and we see nothing ahead that will make them change their decision. This means fully legal tracks (fantasy or not) won't be shown on the WON.NET system anymore. But they promote their system by saying "You have so many choices now", yet such thing happens. Be glad people that they won't expand their Big Brother ideology to VROC, since remember Brands Hatch and the ORing are illegal. That's how sick the business is.. all this because tracks actually want money so they can have publicity in racing games. I could understand problems with the track name and likeness.. but when it's a fully legal track, installed without using any copyrighted Papyrus files... there is a possibility you won't be able to race it online. What would you guys say if Sierra disabled any form of online racing using Brands Hatch or the ORing? -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

So Papy has disowned Bullrun and Red Rock? Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't those tracks made by Papy in the first place? <confused> ymenard wrote in message ...

Well, Stockcar drivers are known to simply can't turn right, so they fear those two fantasy tracks. Online races on WON are ghost towns there, but still fun when in a small number. As for not showing, the whole issue is for legal reason, which is absurd to my eyes (actually it's a complicated issue about SIERRA (not Papyrus) who only wants to have fun pissing off customers with their lawyer-made EULA.txt). But heck, those two tracks are Fantasy tracks and legally owned by Papyrus in their entirety. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...
