Free driving : why not continuous . . . I get end of race display each lap

patrickb · Mar 18, 2012

Each time I select free driving and complete
While "Free Driving" after the 1st completion the Finish track display appears with waving flag.
How do I stop this under free driving?
I'd like free driving to be without the finish display . . . so I can lap it as much as I want . . .

Hi,
look in to the Racer.ini for " ; Maximum race time (in seconds)
max_time_race=0" set it to 0
..have Fun!

I tried this yesterday.. and I'm sure it worked.
Today it won't work on any tracks.
Any ideas?
Also, Should it work with point to point either 1 or 0?

Try setting the number of laps (in the menu) = 0 which gives "never ending"
Point to point is for tracks that aren't circular like polish roads. You can check the special.ini and see what it's set to as I haven't paid much attention to that variable in a long time. I'm 75 and have a tendancy to forget stuff.

Thanks but that does not work.
When I free drive it works fine, then after a real race the ini file is overwritten from =0 to =1
So the 0 does not stay.

However as a temp fix I can set race to 3 and then have 3 laps while free driving.
But is there a fix to have free drive without an end of race?
