Right-front tire temperature too hot on ICR2 converted tracks

After racing on some converted NASCAR99 tracks (e.g. Pocono, Gateway, Richmond, Homestead) in ICR2, I have noticed a rather odd regularity: regardless of converted track, tire compound, or other car setup parameters, I cannot keep the temperatures on the right-front tire below 290-300 degrees. This is strange because I normally have no problems with excessive tire heat on any of the regular ICR2 oval tracks. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this apparent problem with the converted tracks? Thanks, Bob

Go to the track's .txt file and copy the THEAT line from a similar standard ICR2 track (like Michigan for any fast speedway or Phoenix for a slower oval, etc.) and put it in the converted track's .txt. Problem solved. :) ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Webmaster, http://simcrash.fameflame.dk
