ICR2/NASCAR Hacker's Track FAQ

by Michael E. Carv » Fri, 19 Jul 1996 04:00:00

If you are looking for information on "hacking" the TRACK.DAT files, it
won't be found here.  I am sorry, but now that I have your attention :)

I have just added a TRACK.TXT file FAQ compiled by Steve Weinkamer

does this number do" or "how do I make the AI pit sooner", I thought
this would be a helpful little file to make available.  I can't vouch
for the accuracy of the information, but Steve will gladly accept any
insight you wish to shed on the mysteries of this "simple" file.

The direct URL for this FAQ is:
        http://www.racesimcentral.net/~mcarver/trackfaq.htm

The following is in Steve's own words:

This FAQ will attempt to explain some of the settings in the TRACK.TXT
files in the TRACK subdirectories in the Indycar2 and Nascar sims. Some
of  this is pure conjecture and a few areas remain unknown, especially
some of the lines particular to ICR2. This represents many long hours of
experimentation, and while I've run into a brick wall with the ICR2
THEAT, TCFF, and TCFR lines, I've decided to release this FAQ in it's
present but incomplete form. I welcome anyone who can fill in the voids,
correct unintentional misinformation, or add anything to this.
