Atlanta Bug Fix MAYBE!!!

If you check out the "Track Text files" - Atlanta.txt, Michigan.txt, etc. you will notice three extra lines at the end of the Atlanta.txt file. These are: PCARL 5 0 PTICK 0 30 PBRKS 60 50 If you REM out these lines REM PCARL 5 0 REM PTICK 0 30 REM PBRAKS 60 50 The cars seem to pit on the yellow instead of waiting for the green. I've tried it only TWICE at lap 35 and 40 (caused a caution - wreck) and the lead cars came in like they should!! Only Papyrus knows??? why the three extra lines are there (bug fix?) But until I run into another problem, they are history. PS Why haven't they posted a repair yet? I'ts not slowing sales??? are in the Atlanta.txt file but

But that's minor, they are both "M" tracks. ;-) I left the PCARL & PBRAKS as they are and reversed the order of the numbers for PTICK in Atlanta: PTICK 30 0 I don't think the 30 plays a role, but the last number does need to be 0 to make the AI pit right under yellow. This did the trick. I tried a 5 and other numbers for the last number. 5 made most everybody pit but then 5-10 would decide to do the "fake" pit routine. : The cars seem to pit on the yellow instead of waiting for the green. : I've tried it only TWICE at lap 35 and 40 (caused a caution - wreck) : and the lead cars came in like they should!! <snip> -- **************************** Michael E.

Thanks for taking the time to break that down, and yes I did find the lines in Martinsville (mentioned in a prev post ). But only papy knows why these lines are in these text files. I guess they were trying to fix some other problem?? There is at least 1 text file with mirror lines in it also. Blind spot????

Jim Sokoloff has already explained how the Pxxxx lines "got left" in the 2 track.txt files. I am pretty sure that the mirror lines got left intentionally. As you may have read there was a big debate at Papyrus as to how the mirrors should actually look like in the final release. I assume that one of the engineers felt we should have the ability to "tweak" them to our own liking. This person even left his signature, sorta a "Kilroy was here" -- REM BIGHD ;) [BigHead?] [Bet I Get Hell 'n Damnation?] [Bet I Get Heartburn/Diverticulitis?] -- **************************** Michael E.

Need a "BIG Hard Drive" for the full install... :) Before you send me UCE, I know what you're thinking... Did he complain to five or six postmasters last month? Now, you must ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do you, punk?
