Nascar Pit Stops

: Also, anyone know how to alter the agressivness and skill of the : drivers? Under Options you can select the number of cars you race against. Consider cutting it down to eliminate the slow guys in the back of the pack. Trim

One of the F keys toggles the 'repair damage' option... I forget which one right now... check your quick reference card. Make a backup of drivers2.txt before you edit it, but that's the file... it's in each cars subdirectory you have. There's a bunch of numbers in there, first few are chassis type, tire, number. The 4 groups of two, 3-digit numbers are the values you want. I forget the order right now, but it's something like horsepower, handling, aerodynamics, aggressiveness. The higher the number the better except for aero (lower the better). The two numbers are low and high limits for a randomized value. You can alter these to make your favorite drivers better, or in my case, make them all relatively equal so there are different cars up front and they tend to race a little harder that way too. hope it helps. bob

I have developed a neat method: Hit F9 to access pit info options, Hit ENTER so that it reads - DO NOT REPAIR DAMAGE Enter the pits to have major repairs done like a new wheel. Hopefully you will leave the pits and not have lost a lap. Hit F3 to disable having your tyres changed Reenter the pits to have the bodywork repaired By doing the repairs in stages you can minimise the chance of going down a lap. Works for me...sometimes.
