Hi guys, After hosting a few races at the Ring with the pit mod I've had a couple requests on how to do the mod. Here's the post from ras that explains how to move the pits at the Ring. For those of you that haven't heard of this, it moves the place where the cars pit to just before the second Karussel. This allows you to warm up your tires and hit the starting line at speed, so you don't have to waste a untimed lap when practicing. I've used it for a while, done offline races, and hosted online races, everything seems to work fine. He suggests experimenting, don't, the numbers work fine as they are. Many thanks to Uartijn for this. From: "�artijn" <[email hidden]> Subject: Re: Wishful thinking but... the solution!!! Newsgroups: rec.autos.simulators Add these lines to the Nurburg\Track.ini to replace the existing ones. The first part is to let AI's speed up as soon as they cross s/f, otherwise their first full (timed) lap is done in "out-lap" pace which is ~9:30, even for Clark. The second part defines the place of the pitstalls. The distances ("18030") is the distance from s/f, these values give boxes before the 2nd Karusell. If you want them anywhere else, experiment a little. The "-4.3" defines the lateral distance from the center of the track. You don't want the cars to be in the middle of the track, nor outside the fences :-) This is halfway ON the track, half on the grass. Works OK. Ofcourse you can do this on every track, but it's nowhere as useful as on the Ring. ======================================= pit_at_end_of_track = 0 ; 0 if all stalls beyond s/f, 1 if not ======================================== [ pit_lane_0 ] lane_on_right = 1 ; 0 if lane on left, 1 if on right lane_has_wall = 0 ; 0 if no pit wall, 1 if pit wall exists lane_bounds_dlong = 22740.4 253.1 ; start/end dlong of the pit lane lane_bounds_dlat = -11.7 -2.8 ; start/end dlat of the pit lane pit_board = 11.0 1200.0 -100.0 100.0 ; dlat of board, dlong of board, dlong LOS start, dlong LOS end (last 2 not used) stall_0 = 18230.00 -4.30 stall_1 = 18219.47 -4.30 stall_2 = 18208.95 -4.30 stall_3 = 18198.42 -4.30 stall_4 = 18187.89 -4.30 stall_5 = 18177.37 -4.30 stall_6 = 18166.84 -4.30 stall_7 = 18156.32 -4.30 stall_8 = 18145.79 -4.30 stall_9 = 18135.26 -4.30 stall_10 = 18124.74 -4.30 stall_11 = 18114.21 -4.30 stall_12 = 18103.68 -4.30 stall_13 = 18093.16 -4.30 stall_14 = 18082.63 -4.30 stall_15 = 18072.11 -4.30 stall_16 = 18061.58 -4.30 stall_17 = 18051.05 -4.30 stall_18 = 18040.53 -4.30 stall_19 = 18030.00 -4.30 -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.
