F1 2k2 mod users

I've gotten very little track time this weekend because I've been attempting to sort out all my various add on tracks for F1 2k2 and it's mods. Based on my experience this weekend, I'd like to offer some advice: Build a Storage Track folder somewhere. Put the bone stock tracks in it. Get all the tracks you use, and place them there, without graphic updates or file modifications. With all the mods out there, AND especially with all the updated graphic sets, it is easy to have 4 or 5 versions of the same track. With a storage track folder, you can always go back are start over if some track modification goes bad. Since most of the .scn files that are used to point the mods to the tracks locations are tied to the F1 folder, I would suggest you test all your tracks there and compile a folder of working tracks. I had a fully crap non working version of Phillip Island in the f1 folder, but a nice working finished version in GTR. When more mods come out, they will be looking for your installed tracks and updating some of those, so having a backup that you KNOW works can save a-lot of mod debugging. dave henrie

Hi Dave, Since you mentioned that: Where can I find the updated graphic sets for F1 2002 tracks? /Igor "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Prolly a good idea for GPL, too. I must have two Gb-worth of mods for Monaco alone. Of course, you get to keep all the orig trax on the orig CD, and there's no way to point to an Original Trax folder w/o messing up the orig files therein, but it's a great idea for F12Kx. Thx!

If you burn a cd it's probably a good idea to zip up the track folder first. This will avoid all the file attributes being set to read only.
