I purchased RCT2: Triple Thrill Pack off of Steam, and was wondering how do I install parks and how do I install the 8 Cars per Trainer menu thing? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Installing parks is as simple as copying them into your Saved Games folder. Open them up in the game to insure the saved scenery goes into the ObjData folder.

Copy or unpack the 8cars files to a folder in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 folder. Just Run the game, Alt-Tab out of the game and go the 8cars.exe file and double click. Choose what you want to do and Alt-Tab back to the game. You can repeat the Alt-Tab to go change more stuff with 8cars as it will still be open until you close it.

@Sambo, I figured out where the saved games folder was, but now a complication that hopefully you can help me out with...I downloaded 'Six Flags Carolina' from nedesigns.com. The file came with two SV6 files and two DAT files. I pasted the whole folder into my RCT2 'Saved Games' folder, but when I go to open the file up in the game, it says I am missing the DAT files. How do I get it so that the game recognizes the two DAT files within the folder? Please help!

Just move the two DAT files into the ObjData folder, and the SV6 files into the saved games folder. No need for a folder within a folder.

Thanks! That worked! One last question that I hope you can help me out with - I'm looking for a custom scenery pack with B&M coaster supports/catwalks for RCT2. If you know any good packages, could you please provide a link?! That'd be awesome!

I know the scenery pieces exist - but I don't know where they can be obtained these days. (if they are not already in a park in our downloads)

I'll leave this note here for other members in case someone has them or a link to them.

I know the ProTour 3 workbench has them, I also know that the GW NE Bench has them. These are listed as "large" scenery items, and if you need to mix/match (you have space in both "large" and "small") you can grab the original object data files from the Blue Thunder ride design. It's up to you.
