why do so many add-on tracks not work?
 

I saw one of the websites reccommended yesterday, so I went there and
downloaded several tracks for N2003. Of the dozen tracks I tried,
only dragonnett and Daytona in a can worked.

Others, like stunt track, mission demo, Cumbica, Grand Detour and a
few others wouldn't work. It would say not able to load track,
cancelling weekend.

I just extracted the folders into the tracks folder. Is there
something missing from the folders, or is there a secret to installing
them?

Thanks.

I've run Stunt Track. I know that one works.

You may have something else going on. Do you have the last NR2003 patch
installed?

that did the trick. I must have forgotten to install it last time.
Now everything works, except for Daytona 80 degrees. That one still
kicks me back to the desktop.

Thanks for the tip.

I ca't find the place where I got it. I can post it here if nobody
minds. It's about 9MB.

We have a binaries group.

It's over-run with thieves, but we'll see it :)

It's posting to alt.binaries.simulators.autos.

Let me know if you get it to work. I can usually practice for a few
laps, then it goes back to the desktop. If I try to start a race, it
goes directly to the desktop as soon as I hit the DRIVE button.

It must have something to do with other cars on the track. I just ran
a test session for over 12 minutes and it worked OK. Then I switched
to single race, practice. As soon as another car gets on the track,
I'm back to desktop.
