Making AI's pit sooner

by Ligwo » Wed, 26 Jun 1996 04:00:00

Some time ago someone posted information on how to make the AI's pit
early when the race length was set less than 100%.

Would someone please let me know how I can do this, I can't
remember what .txt file or line needed to be edited.

Thanks

Just edit the 'SPDWY' line of the individual track text files.  The
second and third numbers designate the pit window that the AI cars will
pit between.

Edit the track .txt file and change the SPEEDWAY line

Talladega.txt

Speedway 1  42  45

Cars will start pitting on lap 42 and the last car will pit on lap 45.

Make a backup copy of the .txt file before editing.

Edit the SPDWY line in the track text file. The second number is the
number of laps to the opening pit window. The second is the end of the
window.

A little more detail:
Your line may look something like this...
SPDWY 0 62 68

It means that the AI will pit between lap 62 and 68.

Another thing worth noting.... If you set it to SPDWY 0 4 5
the AI will all pit every 4 to 5 laps, but the pitstops will be VERY
quick.... You haven't changed how often they need to change tires.
You have only told them to stop.     So they stop....  And put in
a splash of fuel (if even that much - I can't tell) and then
they're gone.
1-3 second pitstops will be the rule for them.

It is a good way to practice pitting with other cars, though.   Just
tell the AI to pit every lap or two and go racing with them.
