Wow! I've got used to amazing mods but horseracing!! Can't wait to try the
Aintree track, Beecher's Brook, the Chair...

I've got it wrong, haven't I?

Yes, I picked this up late last night and didn't go to bed until after 1:30
this morning!
An excellent mod which made me reinstall N2003.
I spent several hours racing the AI at Riverside, Bridgehampton, Daytona
1970...............fabulous!

Thanks, The Pits, and a very Happy 10th. Birthday to you all.

Bruce.

Their web host stops all access to the site once their bandwidth has
been exceeded. Looks like it happened sometime this morning.

If anyone is the slightest bit interested, I have created the 48-event .INI
season file for 1970.
Some tracks are either not obtainable (to my knowledge, after several
searches) and I have, therefore, substituted my own stand-ins.
I have included the information as to the veracity of the track being used
for each of the 48 events, as per the following examples..............
==============================

[ Event7 ]
day = 15 ; Day of the event [1-31]
month = 3 ; Month of the event [1-12]
name = Savannah 200 ; Name of the event
numberOfLaps = 80 ; Number of laps for the race
session
trackDirectory = ontario ; Directory for the track data - actual Savannah
startingGrid = 1 ; Starting grid: grid_2x2_InLinePoleOnLeft

[ Event8 ]
day = 29 ; Day of the event [1-31]
month = 3 ; Month of the event [1-12]
name = Atlanta 500 ; Name of the event
numberOfLaps = 325 ; Number of laps for the race
session
trackDirectory = atlanta ; Directory for the track data -
actual Atlanta
startingGrid = 1 ; Starting grid: grid_2x2_InLinePoleOnLeft
===========================================================

It took me a couple of hours to create it, downloading tracks, obtaining
race-date and track info and getting the race lengths correct in each case.
As the TXT file is only 21Kb in size and if anyone would like it....in order
to save creating your own....just email me.

That was certainly a ***y long season back in those days....started on
January 18th. and finished on 22nd. November!!

Anyone else get a major frame rate hit using this mod? It is around
20-30 les fps than the other mods. (Cup, BGN, CTS, etc.)

Thanks,

Kerry

Is this a reskin for PTA physics, or is it a hacked EXE?

wow...mega-wow! Great effort Bruce. You should contact Jan at the
pits and see if he will include it in a future update.

No problem here.

by **Dave Henri** » Tue, 22 Nov 2005 03:53:02

It 'was' going to be a unique physics package but First/iRacing prevented
that. I think they use the Busch or CTS physics rather than PTA.

So it's basically useless. Thanks.
