N1&N2: Tracks/Info/AIpits???

2 posts by 2 people · 14 Nov 1997 - 14 Nov 1997

I hope this will get some response from some N2 players cause I guess it might be the same. I'm getting better at this sim racing thing and want to start increasing my % of race thingy. It's not too hard to figure out the % race length needed for one pit stop, but trying to setup a two pit stop race gets confusing. Is there anyway/anyplace I can find out the rough number of laps the AI cars will run before pitting at various tracks? For instance, at michigan I ran 30% to get a pit stop, but at C***te I only needed 20% (that's without cautions). I ran the shorter races without cautions, but now that I'm looking for longer two stop races, I'm trying to turn the caution option on, My lastrace at C***te had cautions at 10 laps, 20 laps, and 40 laps (I didn't cause any ;-)) I'm guessing it's random, but I'd like to get some estimates of what to expect so I can set the % for two pit stops. After I master C***te ;-), I'm gonna try some of the one mile tracks. I'm working my way down. I should be great by the time I get to Bristol. Any and all help is appreciated and all you folks still running N1 please contact me so I can pick your brains. I'm hoping to get better so that When/if I get N2 for xmas, I'll be able to kick some ***on NROS. Aloha, Henry Go 3,6,88 in atlanta.
Look in the trackname.TXT file for each track for a line like this: SPDWY 0 49 56 (this is from ATLANTA.TXT) Ignore the zero (which has another, secret meaning), the second and third numbers are the shortest and longest number of laps the AI cars should go before pitting. Gordon fan? :) Before you send me UCE, I know what you're thinking... Did he complain to five or six postmasters last month? Now, you must ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do you, punk?
