Monza is a really great track, buy SCGT and F12K and read on for a conversion.

THE SPEEDUP

This page will show you a quicker way of getting existing tracks with some work done for you. The files you will find here are created from scratch by me, and you are allowed to download and use them. Follow the instructions carefully.

ALL TRACKS USE THE SAME STEPS

First, all tracks noted here will have the same basic steps:

• Make sure you get a copy of SCGT if you haven't already bought it.
• Download an existing SCGT track
• Use Tagforce's MASpuce to extract all the appropriate map & model files from the .MAS files (mostly 2 are present; a texturemap .MAS and a track objects .MAS). Throw these into a temporary directory (i.e. C:\T\MONZA)
• Use Tony Hirst's VRL2VRML to convert all .VRL files to .WRL.
• Copy or move all .BMP files to a new track directory, for example C:\SIMS\RACER\DATA\TRACKS\MONZA
• Make a directory there named SCGT/wrl (that's 2 directories actually!)
• Copy or move all .WRL files into the SCGT/wrl directory
• Run TrackEd, and click 'Convert SCGT wrl's'. This will create Racer DOF files from the .WRL ones, and you can throw away the .WRL's after this step if you want.
• Download the prefabricated Racer files (containing timelines, object definitions etc.) and install into the track directory (i.e. C:\SIMS\RACER\DATA\TRACKS\MONZA).
• Run Config and select the new track (or enter the track directory in racer.ini directly)

For more information on the MASpuce and VRL2VRML steps, check out the tutorial. It's not hard.

MONZA

• Make sure you get a copy of SCGT (I mean original ofcourse); it's really a fun game even after all this time.
• Download the SCGT version from here.
• Use MASpuce and VRL2VRML as described above.
• Download the Racer track files and add to the track directory.
• Notes: there are no good trackcams sofar, if anyone makes them I'd be sure glad to get them. Also, not all objects are imported; enough exercises left for the reader!

More of these prefab conversions may come, preferably with help of you, the user, so I can concentrate on adding functionality instead of doing the raw conversion work.
