N2: Can't qualify at Indy

12 posts by 10 people · 29 May 1997 - 07 Jun 1997

Well I went ahead and got the Icr2-N2 track converter. I also put the new graphics on the track from Alex's Pit shop. And when I go to qualify at Indy I just turn lap after lap without posting a qualifying time. Anybody else have this problem? -Pat Remove NO SPAM from address to reply

Make sure in your INDY.txt file on the "qual" line it says 1 1 and you should be fine.
To to my site and download the AI fix. http://user.mc.net/~rustyfan I have included in the file a setup that will let you run in the 175-176 range with a few modifications. My ai is also more realistic then the other one. Bill
You need to have the first number be a 2. That is the problem with the converter and Alex's text file. They both have a 1 as the beginning number.
Do you cut straight onto the track just after the pit exit and before turn 1? If so, try continuing on along the feeder lane, join the track in the back-straight and see if that makes any difference. Perhaps whoever did the conversion put something in that requires the player to exit "properly" in order to qualify? Just a thought.....won't hurt to try it. -- Bruce ---- "To be or not to be?

WRONG.. the QUAL line must be QUAL 2 1 (The second number is the number of qualifying laps, so you can make this 2 if you choose, but generally NASCAR only allows 2 laps for qualifying at restrictor plate races, which Indy is not). The first number determines the type of qualifying, and NASCAR2 only recognizes the type 2 qualifying. says...

That is incorrect, NASCAR typically allows 2 laps in qualifying. Kerry Grant

No, he's correct.

>> That is incorrect, NASCAR typically allows 2 laps in qualifying. >> Kerry Grant >No, he's correct. One timed lap except at restrictor plate races Are we talking NASCAR THE GAME, or NASCAR the real life sport? One timed lap except at restrictor plate races, is correct for the game, but NASCAR typically allows 2 laps in the real sport.

I go to the brickyard every year and its one warm up out of the pits and then they get the green then checker. No 2 lap sprints like Talladega or Daytona. That I why I have made qualifying like this in my AI text file for Indy. Nascar Sim Shop http://user.mc.net/~rustyfan

The only tracks that they qualify one lap is the larger tracks like Indy, Pocono, Michigan, and the road courses. At Bristol, Martinsville, Dover, Darlington, etc. they get two laps. Kerry Grant
