N2 Road Course Pace Lap Speeds

I changed the number in the TTYPE line in the track.txt files for Watkins Glen and Sears Point from 4 (Roadcourse) to 3 (Superspeedway) to try to increase the very slow pace lap speeds, however, it seems to have no effect. Any other ideas out there?

I suspect that the pace.lp file is limiting the speed during cautions ??? This is a guess - but I know that I have corrected big slowdowns at the start finish line on yellow flags by editing the pace.lp file and bumping up the speeds around the s/f line. /THansen

All you are doing when changing the TTYPE line is changing the way the game displays the lap times. Depending on what you change it to, you could display time or speed. Other than that, I have no idea...

I've set Watkins Glen to 60 and it seems alot better. -- **************************** Michael E.

Isn't this interesting. I've often wondered why anyone would need to change the track type. Should this be embedded in the track.dat file. I can understand why the pace lap speed should be in the track.txt file and some of the other options, but why track type? If you change the track type from road course to superspeedway, does this mean that the pole sitter will be required to start on the left instead of on the inside of T1?

i>nstead of on the inside of T1? Sears Pt doesn't matter but Watkins All changing the TTYPE variable does is to change the way the time/speed is displayed. Say you changed the TTYPE for Sears Point from 4 to 0. It would change the display from lap speed to lap time. This figure is arbitrary, just using it as an example. Want to see a REALLY good example? Change any converted INDY course to 0 for the TTYPE, and watch the lap times change to lap speeds.
