I was wondering where N2K2 stored individual details about each driver
with regard to how fast, aggressive, consistent they were and, as I
couldn't find anything mentioned on the net, I decided to hunt for them
myself and have located them in the:
series\cup\cars directory, in each of the .car files. If you open them
up you find that the start of each file is a textual part detailing the
driver such as the one below:
[AIParamDeviation]
aiParamDriverAggression=0.115000
aiParamDriverConsistency=0.085000
aiParamDriverFinishing=0.090000
aiParamDriverQualifying=0.210000

aiParamDriverShortTrack=0.120000

Has anyone messed around with these files at all to see how they affect
the AI?

Haven't messed with the files directly as there is an interface for it right
in the game. I downloaded a car for Sterling Marlin and fiddled with the
road course, short track, etc. parameters until I thought he was performing
about right. Seemed to work ok. Unfortunately there was no
aiParamBreaksNeckAtEndOfSeason variable, so I couldn't get him quite right.
;o) Haven't fooled with the vehicle data at all.

Actually you need to set "driveslikeanidiot=true" in the Jeff Burton file
then you will get Marlin taken out ;-)
