F1 2002: adding tracks?

I just dl'd a couple of tracks: Mid-Ohio and Pocono. The game crashes when I try to load either. I just added all the files to the season02\tracks directory in their respective folders. I also have GTR2002 loaded, but didn't put them there. Any guidance on getting these working? thanks, Dave

Mid Ohio, Spyder's that is, should drop right into whatever track folder you have. Take a look at the midohio.scn file with notepad and see if the top lines are pointing to where you have the track installed. Pocono may require some extra files since it is a conversion of the Nascar THunder track. Look for a folder called Common. You should have a Common folder in your tracks directory and it should have at least the file common.mas. dave henrie

Thanks, Dave. There were no lines pointing to the files at all! So I copied them from the std tracks. That got Mid Ohio working. But regarding Pocono, I don't have Common folder. Do I need Nascar Thunder, or some special installation to get these working? thanks again, Dave

yes you need the common folder, You can get it sometimes at the same sites that have the downloadable tracks...or....you can download the nascar thunder demo and copy it from that over to F1 2k2 dh
