Everybody seems to be making their own INDY.TXT file to correct AI, green flag, etc. Which one fixes the most stuff and is the most accurate? -Jeff --------------------------------------------------- My Favorite Syndicated TV Shows Schedules: http://www.binary.net/ptsbrgfan/index.htm ---------------------------------------------------

Robert Graf: I read with Interest your comments and helpful suggestion for a Correct and functioning Indy.Txt. Upon reading your suggested Txt, notice you show the CARS line as having 39 cars in the race >>BUT you show 32 cars in the PIT Line? To adjust this to 39 cars in the Pits, would the Pit values also have to be re-adjusted? Just looking for some clarity... Thanks. Dave The Hammer

Robert: Also noticed your Indy.Txt has 38 cars in a Race including Player's - how do you get the 39th?? Dave THe Hammer

well thats the question. i can only say in what points my indy.txt differs from original. * pace lap rows corrected to be symmetrical behind the pace car (at start lap) * pace speed 70 * two qualifying laps. * green flag comes out quite early (i know), but this was the only chance to keep the first car accelerating without braking cause of the pace car entering the pits * spotter dont says "down there". calls out all 4 turns and all 4 straights (1st straight, backstraight, shortstraight, final straight) correctly. * ai cars qualify at about 53.500secs at 100% opp strength (edit blap value if its too slow for you) so i fyou have made you choice now i will attach it again. -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Robert Graf Racing Cole Trickle - Pepsi Pontiac #50 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> -----cut here------ FVERS 2 TNAME Indianapolis SNAME Indy PIT 115344 70002757 2710804 71725504 2161143 345023 27517184 32 41275904 70402757 2710804 PITSP 65 SPDWY 0 31 35 LENGT 2500 LAPS 160 160 FNAME Indianapolis Motor Speedway CITYN Speedway, IN COUNT USA PACEA 2 393857 46736 -46736 0 70 QUAL 2 2 BLIMP -15242263 -6176609 GFLAG 70098652 TTYPE 3 CARS 39 39 TEMP 784 81 TEMP2 807 67 WIND 2684354560 268435456 113 65 2147483648 WIND2 2415919104 268435456 113 65 2147483648 RAIN 00 00 BLAP 53850 RELS 99 THEAT 11500 9500 7500 16000 12000 9000 7000 12000 TIRES 61113 5800 75000000 61113 4800 75000000 0 SCTNS 8 5 3 COLOR 44 244 DDLNG 66 131 196 261 457 522 587 652 DIDNT 30 1 29 2 18 3 31 4 -------cut here-------
aha well thx for that info but i think (really think) there are 39 cars on the track, even the pit line calls out 32. will check and repost if only 32 cars are in the pits. k? i suppose the pit vals dont have to be changed, but im not really sure about this tough i dont know what the vals mean excactla in the pits line... if you know drop me a line please, but please be specific not only "its pits order and so on". cu robert -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Robert Graf Racing Cole Trickle - Pepsi Pontiac #50 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

You need to have it say 40 40 to race with 39 cars. Or you can just download my version at http://user.mc.net/~rustyfan on the utility page right under the 3 patchs from sierra. Bill Nascar Sim Shop > >Robert: Also noticed your Indy.Txt has 38 cars in a Race including Player's

Change the line that says 39 39 to 40 40 . Also everyone must think that the Brickyard 400 is 200 laps. Nope its 160. On a 2.5 mile track 200 laps it 500 miles. Opps. Brickyard 400 is 400 miles. Guess everyone doing the converting isn't real up to date on the real life Nascar Series. Nascar Sim Shop http://user.mc.net/~rustyfan
Rob, you also needed to have changed the number of car spaces in the "pits" line. If you look at your file, you'll see that there aren't enough spaces to accommodate the 39 (or 38...whatever you had) cars. This will cause a problem when the cars try to pit. -- Bruce ---- "To be or not to be? Well, I'd rather 'be', if you don't mind!"
