4 posts by 3 people · 10 Jun 1997 - 12 Jun 1997

All, I've been trying out the new USA track. I am running 193 at the slow point of the corners. I believe 191 is the slowest point on the track. When I press F1, it shows my track speed of 184.826. How can this be? -- Lannie Schafroth Pathworks Network Administrator Iowa Network Services, Inc.

Sounds like you are running on a 2.66 mile track that has been lied to. It thinks it's only 2.5 miles. If your elapsed time is 48.694 seconds on a 2.66 mile track your speed is 196.656 mph on a 2.50 mile track your speed is 184.827 mph mykey
I just edited the USA.TXT file and changed the LENGT field from 2.500 to 2.660 and the times are correct again. -- Lannie Schafroth Pathworks Network Administrator Iowa Network Services, Inc.
