Thank you for the suggestions. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium so no Mac issue here. And those two links didn't work so not sure how to find that info.
Thank you for continuing to help me but now it's time for a question that will tell just how stupid I am. To start with I'm new to RCTgo so maybe that's the problem. Throughout your post in the first link you refer to "CS", is that Custom Scenery? I tried download/installing Jerp's Path, I followed the instructions in the Read Me file but I'm not seeing it in RCT3. If CS is not Custom Scenery, then please tell me what it is. Sorry to be a pain but I would like to download more from RCTgo and start to creating and sharing but need to get this resolved first.
the majority of the time CS is custom scenery.
have you tried moby's steel jungle? if that doesnt work then you have got a problem with your computer or game. installing steel jungle is simple, just stick the files 'style/themed', pretty much everyone has steel jungle so it works
steel jungle is a support set for B&M coasters, its not a coaster itself.
in regards to this "I put the folder Moby's Steel Jungle v1 into the Styles/Themed folder, was I supposed to put just the files from that folder?", just put the whole folder into the location it needs to go (unless instructed to do something else with it).
if you are having trouble getting coasters to work, you might need to download the CTR (custom track ride) it uses to get access to the track so you can select the coaster you want to view/use.
eg. say the coaster you want to download and use is using the 'nightfire CTR', you may need to download and install the 'nightfire CTR' as well as the coaster for it to show up in your game.
this might not work, but its worth a try. if it doesnt work, then at least you have got new tracks to play with
Thank you all for your help. Uninstalled and reinstalled RCT3 and, this time, installed Soaked and Wild expansion packs. Thinking that is what's making the difference. Getting some things to work but still having a few issues. They are:
Does anyone know of a free program to open RAR files?
If there is no description on the items main page or in a read me file, how do you determine where the file goes? I've downloaded some coasters, tried both locations (program files (x86)/atari/rct3/coaster designs & my documents/rct3/coasters) and the coaster doesn't show up.
I've downloaded [CTR_B&M_Extended_Coaster]Fear of Heights.trk, tried both of those locations and I can't find it. What type of coaster will it be listed under? (I'm sure I will be seeing more of those so finding out now would be nice)
Also trying the coaster Phoenix.nltrack. It says in the read me file to open with the No Limits Editor. Is that in RCT3 or is it something else.
Sorry about being such a pest....
