Has anyone determined if its possible to tweak car parameters like weight, wheelbase, and power in N4? This wouldn't be for on-line cheating, but to simulate a Busch car more accurately, and only for practice modes. Anyone on the TPTCC team with this info? TIA! Kendt

If you look in the file papy_ai.ini there is the following section: ; ************************************* ; CAR CLASS PARAMETERS ; ************************************* [ CUP ] braking_efficiency_coeff = 0.94 ; value * adj_traction_circle = max. decel nominal_max_accel = 0.006806 ; accel. in meters/tick^2 (1G = 0.007562) nominal_traction_circle = 0.0135 ; same units as accel. (meters/tick^2) -- 1.78 * ONE_G Then if you look in the series folder there is a cup folder. My guess is that there will be a truck and a busch folder in the series folder for the cars/trucks add-on which is bound to come out with additional sections in the papy_ai.ini file for them.

The followup is how do you get it to go into 'Busch' mode *now*? I've got a few Busch cars ready to race... :) Phil Lee wrote:
