Opponents too slow in NASCAR

5 posts by 5 people · 03 Jan 1996 - 07 Jan 1996

Does anyone know how to make opponents faster in NASCAR? At Talladega, I made a lap of 218.583, and qualified first-and opponents were on 100%! When on 100% strength, they only got up to a 197mph lap. I went into the Drivers2.txt and made them all faster by changing their POWER, TRACTION, DRAG, and AGGRESSION, but that only brought them up to 199mph laps. Can anybody help? Is there a way for faster opponents?

Edit the RELS line in the Taladega.txt file. That will change how fast the opponents are in comparison to the other tracks. Another way would be to just put your restrictor plate back on. -- Eric T. Busch Emory University

Strength setting when you're actually in the sim. RELS in <Track>.txt for relative speed (of opponents) BLAP for qualifying times/speed Put that plate back on! turn RELS up to 150 and hold onto your ass. I dunno where RELS needs to be to run with you without a plate on, but I'd say the 110 to 130 area. Put the plate back on, run; Game: 100% RELS: 100% and a standard IWCC drivers .txt and you'll have your hands full.
Put the restrictor plate back on your car. You'll be back under 200mph.
