Opps hit <<enter>> instead of <<tab>> Sorry. Anyway I have the CART 2002 mod for F1 2002 and Tantra's Indyoval and his AI update. I have a game.gbd file that has Indyoval. If I just adjust my gear ratios I can run close to 230 laps flat (which is about right) but even with AI driver strength maxed I can lap the field in 10 laps except Alex Tagliani who is about two seconds a lap faxter than me. (I'm driving the other Player's car) It seems that Alex has my setup and can get up to 235 on the straights but the other AI cars have the default setup and bang against the rev limiter at 190. How can I change the AI setups?? TIA

There is a more complete 2003 effort near completion. The biggest trouble with Indy are the tires. We had to alter the original Cart physics to get tires to last on the oval tracks. On most setups..I can burn up the front tires in about 4 or 5 laps. (250+mph on the straights will do that) We did a California oval to finish our CART league and the AVERAGE speed was 250mph. These cars are jusssssssssst a little too stout!!!!! dave henrie

There are several ways to add setups. And btw, I also found the Players cars to be way faster than the rest of the mod. I suppose the Reynard chassis may have had something to do with that. Blow by the rest of the field but get lapped by both Tags and Carpentier. You can create a setup named indyoval and place it in your save folder. Then edit the game.gdb to include the indyoval setup. Most game.gdb put the setup lines near the bottom. Or you can edit your player file. yourname.plr in the save folder and enable the individual vehicle ai setups. Look for these lines: Vehicle Specific AI Setups="0" // If 1, search specific vehicle directory for "<track>.<qual/race>.svm" or "<track>.svm" or "ai.svm" before falling back on game.gdb defaults AI Realism="0.81604" Change the 0 to a 1. Then place a setup called either ai.svm or indyoval.svm in each vehicle folder. This probably would also work in slowing down the Players cars. Give them more wing or something. The trouble with IndyOval is the 4th turn is incredibly bumpy. If you have Nascar THunder that version is much smoother but does require some work with the terrain.ini file to properly work with f1k2 mods. dave henrie

Here's the link: http://www.m4driving.sm/wheel2wheel Hey Dave how close are you guys to the 2003 Mod? Not to start up THAT thread again but I find it kinda neat, in a parallel universe sort of way, to be driving a Lola-Cossie Turbo at the Brickyard against Tracy, Vasser, etc. "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

They've got a group of 2003 cars painted....they look pretty good now, but it still uses the single body style and physics are still pretty much from F1 2k1. I'm not involved in creating that...if you saw my math skills or my stick drawings you'd see why...but They have made some progress. Somebody needs to go through the physics and lower the revs, lower the hP and stuff. The cars are waay overpowered. dave henrie
