Tonight I downloaded a lot of park recreations for RCT3. I really wanted to get a look at them, but can not open any DAT file. I just downloaded a free trial version of WordPerfect X6, but for each park file I click, it takes me to the program & asks me convert file from format ______________ . I don't know which file to use as the majority of them wouldn't work. What should I do?

Save them to your Documents / RCT3 / Parks folder and then open them from within RCT3.... why would you try to open RCT3 files with anything but RCT3?

Also this is in the wrong forum; I've moved it for you.

Sometimes it would be convenient to view the CS or maybe some of the track pieces without the game being opened. It would be nice in this way to contemplate these items and consider my options.
