Hi all,
Could somebody please post the line in the converted Indianapolis
file for IndyCar Racing II that lets the field start 3 a***. I
wiped part of my hard drive last week and I need to put this line in at
Michigan.
Thank!

Here is the information from the "TRACK.TXT FAQ" by Steve Weinkamer
(avaialable via the HELP section of my AutoSim web site
http://www.teleport.com/~mcarver/autosim.htm [address restored]
PACEA 2 63151499 45000 -45000 0
The first number means that the cars will line up 2 a***. If it is a
one, they will be in single file, etc. The next number indicates the
position on the track where the pace lap begins. A smaller number means
the pace lap will start closer to the location that either the green
flag drops or to the start\finish line, I'm not sure which. If you want
a shorter pace lap, lower this value. If you enter a number that is too
large here however, the program will crash. The next number defines the
position that the inside row of cars sits on the track relative to the
center of the track (East\West), and the next defines where the outside
row sits. I don't know what the zero defines at the end of the line. If
you want 3 a*** starts and a shorter pace lap, ( on this track, of
course), try these values here:
PACEA 3 3151499 150000 25000 -70000 0
In this case, the 150000 defines the row location relative to the left
of the center of the track, the 25000 defines where the outside row is
located, and the -70000 defines the middle row location. This does not
seem to be logical, but it works!

Jeff,
When editing the Michigan (or what ever track for that matter) txt
file, locate the line that starts with "PACEA" without the qoutes.
The first number (usually 2 by default) is the number of cars a***
during the pace laps. Simply change the number to 3. For Michigan
the line would look something like this:
OLD- (two cars a***, defualt settings)
PACEA 2 63151499 45000 -45000 0
NEW- (three cars a***)
PACEA 3 63151499 45000 -45000 0
Have a good one!
