I know its been discussed before, but as I wasn't paying attention then, how
do I move the man with the pit board to the end of the lap instead of the
start (on many Noonan tracks)? I am getting extremely pissed off trying to
negotiate Paddock Hill bend while attempting to absorb the information on
the board!! It's a hard enough bend even when your eyes are on the road!!
Thanks

In the track.ini, edit the line
pit_board = 21.0 275.0 -100.0 100.0
The first number is the distance from the centre
line of the track, a - number will put him on the
right of the track. The second number is the
distance from the start line, anything under
about 250 I think and you still get out of date
info.
The above numbers are what I use for Monza.

Go to the track.ini file in the track folder. Go to the [ pit_lane_0 ]
section and edit the second value in the "pitboard =" line. The
greater the second of the four values, the further from the s/f line
the pit board will be.

Thanks for that, my pit board man is now where he should be:)

Chris,Tony, and others.....
Here are the values you should use in your track.ini file for the listed
tracks to move the pit board to the end of lap, so you will get current
information about the lap that you have just completed.....
Kyalami 6.4 400.0
Mexico 7.0 300.0
Monza 14.4 520.0
Monaco 6.7 260.0
Mosport 6.0 600.0
Silverstone 7.0 255.0
Rouen 5.5 600.0
Silverstone 7.0 255.0
Spa 7.6 1200.6
Watkins Glen 6.4 1100.2
Zandvoort 7.0 590.0
Imola 7.0 260.0
�sterreichring 6.4 360.0
Goodwood 6.1 700.0
Road Atlanta 14.0 280.0
Snetterton 6.0 252.0
Solitude 8.0 280.0
The first # is how far to the right or left of the center of the track, the
pitbaord man stands. A negative # will display the board on the right side
of the track.
The second # is how far from the start/finish line that the pitboard will be
displayed. This # may have to be large for some tracks...... due to the
fact that there may be a curve right after the start finish line, and you
wouldn't want to be trying to look at the pitboard in the middle of a
curve.... The larger # will move the pitboard further down the track, so
you can view it along a straight section.
If you want more info about them.... drop me a line....

backwards at some of the "new" and "converted" tracks so he would give me
the time of my previous lap as per the original circuits. I thought it was
a bit unrealistic having someone show a pit board within a second of me
completing the lap.
Anyway thanks to your help I have managed to correct that now:)
Cheers
