220 mph AI cars at Smogbank

Why does J Surtees in his Murasama circle Smogbank at 220 MPH? Mine won't go faster than 202. I hit 212 by drafting another car. But Surtees rolls along at 220 all by himself, which is good for a 2:02 lap. Why is he so fast? --Jeff

I think there's an AI parameter which limits top speed and could maybe be used to fix the problem. Some AI-tweak expert probably has the answer. +Cinquo

Because Mark Beckman, who created the AI-files for Smogbank, made them so fast. You can accelerate or slow down the AI with one simple value in the file "track.ini": [ GP ] dlong_speed_adj_coeff = 1.200000 ; value modifies dlong velocities (i.e. RELS) in .LP Decreasing this value makes the AI slower, increasing speeds them up. The reason for Mark to enter a high value here is that he wanted to create AI that one could use for drafting in order to establish a new land speed record for GPL, which at the moment I'm the proud owner of with 233 mph ;). The whole discussion about this effort can be viewed in the Legendscentral forums, especially in this thread: http://www.legendscentral.com/ubb/Forum8/HTML/001562.html Hopefully someone will now break my record and bring this thread to live again ;)).

Damn! I thought my 222 was doing good! Joachim Blum <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9bunbv$v8u$03$[email hidden]...

Go into your track.ini and under the [GP] heading adjust the following parameter dlong_speed_maximum = 2.410000 This is from the Monza track.ini . 1 "tick" = 80mph therefore at Monza the AI is limited to 2.41 x 80mph = 192.8mph Andrew
