All races=38 opponents? (N1)

Was wondering if there was a way to make all races in Nascar 1 have the 38 opponents, including the short tracks which usually truncate the drivers.txt list to 32 opponents? Or is there a way to randomize those who will not make the field without rearranging the drivers.txt file every time? It sucks trying to have a realistic championship season when 33 of us make all the races, and the rest miss 4 (or whatever) races.

Go into the file, and it will say "cars" or "opponents" (I haven't done this for so long). There is a number there, usually around 33 or 39. Change the number for both races to 39 (not 38, 39 includes the pace car). I know this sounds a little difficult, but it does work! E-mail me if you have any problems with this! Andy

Doesn't the number of cars include the pace car? I.E. if you want to race against all 38 A.I. opponents you have to set the number of cars in the track.TXT file to 40 (38 A.I. cars + 1 player car + 1 pace car). In a track like Wilkesboro, where the setting is 34, you will only be facing 32 computer opponents. I thought about just upping each track to the max of 40, but I really don't like this idea. I'd rather have a way of randomizing the sequence of the last 38 entries in DRIVERS2.TXT, but unfortunately that would also require a reordering of the cars.DAT file, which is not a desirable task. -- JMG (Jeff George) If I sound like a ranting madman, it's probably because of my insanity. ======================================================================= Who are you and who am I?

I looked back and it is 40 cars, not 39. My

mistake! Andy
