James,
do you have any other version of Watkins in Locations folder?
If you do remove it from locations.
I load 67 Watkins and there is no reference to LABELT.GTL in Simed or in the TRK file.I do not know what this file is, but my version does not use it.

Hi, sorry this is actually the Targa Florio track that is causing this problem.

 

[James Bunn]

I will run it for Watkins Glen as well

Looking at your trace above the track may be in the wrong folder or named wrong?
mine is in :
M:\GTL\GameData\Locations\WatkinsGlen67

the TRK file says:
SearchPath=GAMEDATA\Locations\WatkinsGlen67
which is where mine is.

You top man! What a school boy error. I had unzipped them into another folder and then copied them across, I copied the folder above as well, its working fine. And it was the same muppetry that stopped Targa working! All sorted. Really appreciate your help. A question for you, if I were looking for a more modern sim with better graphics and a similar selection of historic cars to race but also good physics, what would you recommend? I am not going to stop playing these as I had forgotten just how good they are but I have a fairly potent PC and could run something a bit more modern to try.

 

[philrob]

i work in RF2 now almost exclusively, great physics and somewhat better graphics.It is also still moddable.
I dont think it has the range of historic cars that GTL has, but then again what has?

How about power & glory or the historic cars mods.

They might be right up your street.
