Everybody seems to be making their own INDY.TXT file to correct AI,
green flag, etc.  Which one fixes the most stuff and is the most
accurate?

Robert Graf:  I read with Interest your comments and helpful suggestion for
a Correct and functioning Indy.Txt.
Upon reading your suggested Txt, notice you show the CARS line as having 39
cars in the race >>BUT you show 32 cars in the PIT Line?

To adjust this to 39 cars in the Pits, would the Pit values also have to be
re-adjusted?

Just looking for some clarity... Thanks.

Robert: Also noticed your Indy.Txt has 38 cars in a Race including Player's
- how do you get the 39th??

* pace lap rows corrected to be symmetrical behind the pace car (at start lap)
* pace speed 70
* two qualifying laps.
* green flag comes out quite early (i know), but this was the only chance to  
  keep the first car accelerating without braking cause of the pace car  
  entering the pits
* spotter dont says "down there". calls out all 4 turns and all 4 straights
  (1st straight, backstraight, shortstraight, final straight) correctly.
* ai cars qualify at about 53.500secs at 100% opp strength
  (edit blap value if its too slow for you)

so i fyou have made you choice now i will attach it again.

aha well thx for that info but i think (really think) there are 39 cars on the
track, even the pit line calls out 32. will check and repost if only 32 cars
are in the pits. k?

i suppose the pit vals dont have to be changed, but im not really sure about
this tough i dont know what the vals mean excactla in the pits line...

if you know drop me a line please, but please be specific not only "its pits
order and so on".

Everyone will probably say that theirs iis the best so try them all and see
what is best for you.

You need to have it say 40 40 to race with 39 cars.  Or you can just
download my version at http://user.mc.net/~rustyfan on the utility page
right under the 3 patchs from sierra.

Change the line that says 39 39 to 40 40 . Also everyone must think that
the Brickyard 400 is 200 laps.  Nope its 160.  On a 2.5 mile track 200 laps
it 500 miles. Opps. Brickyard 400 is 400 miles.  Guess everyone doing the
converting isn't real up to date on the real life Nascar Series.

Rob, you also needed to have changed the number of car spaces in the "pits"
line.
If you look at your file, you'll see that there aren't enough spaces to
accommodate the 39 (or 38...whatever you had) cars.  This will cause a
problem when the cars try to pit.
