Simples... have you come across a situation where the courses.dat file makes a new game crash at startup? I'll explain a problem that I have had recently when I copied a new version of Cheltenham's course, specifically for the Festival.

1. I'd copy the folder 1_Cheltenham and rename it 1_Cheltenham Festival. Then rename the .map and .bak files. Then make the kind of changes I wanted to make in the editor.
2. I'd go into sched_j, sched_fj and showc_j and rename Cheltenham to Cheltenham Festival (CF).
3. In the courses.dat file, I would create new entries for CF for the jumps1, hurdles1 and jumpscc courses.
4. Copy the whole "1" folder to the game's files.
5. I would load up the mixed schedule in the game and it would crash right at the beginning.
6. I have checked the showcase and schedule files and they are all fine.
7. After a lot of tinkering with the courses.dat file, I have noticed that if I delete hurdles1 and jumpscc from CF, the game works. I couldn't understand this as all the courses worked for the original map file and I had made no changes to the waypoints.
8. Now I can't fathom this. I would take out Southwell's jumps and hurdles courses, reinstate all the CF course entries... and the mixed schedule loads up BUT NOT the jumps-only schedule.

If you can shed any light on this, I'll be very grateful.
