TRK Files - asunited - Jan 21, 2007
I have just joined this forum so please forgive me if this topic has already been covered. I have downloaded a coaster which is a trk file. I have placed it in my Coasters folder of RCT3 but it will not show up. It seems all the other files are a ovl file. Is there something i am doing wrong or do i need to convert them somehow?. Please Help.

The file goes in My Documents/RCT3/Coasters. Then in RCT3 goto the build rides sub menu and there should be a button that looks like a wrench(or something like that) A box will popup and click search(for something like that) and the coaster should show up. It'll take a while because the program searches the entire drive

So how to convert TRK files to OVL files ( RCT3 ). Please help.
RE: TRK Files - Drew_ - Jan 1, 2011
You don't convert .trk files to .ovl files. You save the .trk file in: My Documents\RCT3\Coasters. You don't need to convert .trk or .ovl files.

You save it in My Documents...
Lots of people look in Program files for some weird reason...

That can happen if a coaster was built using a different version of RCT3. Like Platinum vs. Vanilla.

Sometimes if one isn't very familiar with the game it can be confusing. To be sure you're checking in the right places check out this post

I also need help uploading downloaded tracks. I understand that I need to download them to My Documents/RCT3/Coasters but I can't figure out how to do that.
I know it's probably because I have a Mac, so it's probably different. I also have the Platinum version of the game. How do I save the coaster in the right spot on a Mac and then how do I access it in game?

I did a search for you on youtube because you said you were working with a mac.
Here are some links that might help you...
Rct3 Tutorial 4 - How to install Custom Roller Coasters
http://youtu.be/kPO6KB0KUpU
Here is a general link of topics related to Mac for RCT3
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rct3+mac+tutorials+install+tracks
I hope that helps.
Note: If you are downloading a "track" lets say from this site you may need the custom track as well. I have found this out myself when trying to use someone else's track that was made with a custom track. For example, my latest coaster "Boomer" used a Parallax - B&M Sit Down (BETA) http://www.customscenerydepot.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=1465
You would need to download "boomer" from this site and the custom track files. The custom track files would go into Atari/RollerCoasterTycoon/Cars and Atari/RollerCoasterTycoon/Tracks. "Boomer" .tkr would go in Documents/RCT3/Coasters. (I'm on Wndows 8.1 so that is how it works for me. Hopefully the tutorials will help you more from youtube)* Most files downloaded from The Custom Scenery Depot or RCTgo Website should have instructions in a ReadMe File.
