Hi, your message made realize that i completely forgot to make the other variants of the track. I believe the Miller Time 200 layout is the same as the no chicane version (still have to test that); if that is the case then this last version will also work for that version. I will let you known what i find.Thanks again for working on this Simon!
FYI I will bring this updated AIW into the AMS Mid Ohio mod soon, but have a busy time coming up IRL, and have one or two other changes I'd like to try to make before releasing the next update. So it'll happen eventually, but not for a little while yet.
Thanks so much Simon!
but I now realize this means the pace lap speed is too high. So that setting in the AIW needs to be changed, and further optimization of the fast line for more types of cars (maybe slower cars like the FVees, Pumas or Caterhams) could be a good idea (although probably not strictly necessary).I watched a few onboards of real life CART on that event and the lines they take are quite different to the AIW i created. I tried to make the racing line closer to the videos (see attached aiw) and in the process the AI went a little bit faster:
The pace lap speed is in the GDB file and is called 'FormationSpeedKPH'. They are set at 160 k/h in all layouts at the moment.Honestly I just copied the Miller Lite AIW to the No Chicane layout and renamed it cause it seemed fine
I tried that but it did not work. What happened was that the green flag (and player control) was done at that place but AI keep driving in double-line (not racing each other) until the start/finish line.
Fantastic work. That's a great strategy to rewatch some real life races and base your lines off that! Glad it got good results.I watched a few onboards of real life CART on that event and the lines they take are quite different to the AIW i created.

Ah, the GDB file, not the AIW. My bad! As this shows, I still have lots to learn about ISImotor modding.
. What are your thoughts on this? What might you suggest for the various layouts?Thanks so much for trying this out! Darn, it's too bad it didn't work – it seemed like it might have. Did you keep that modded AIW file with the different teleport positions? Just in case there is some additional aspect to be tweaked that gets the AI racing each other right when the green flag is flown? If not, that's okay, by the way.
The program is motec and in this forums there is a plugin to export AMS telemetry data.
I suggest you remove that line; when you do that the game will take that setting from the series file so it will adapt to each car.Ah, the GDB file, not the AIW. My bad! As this shows, I still have lots to learn about ISImotor modding.
My opinion on this value is that 160 kmh is reasonable for the CART layout, but is a bit high on the other layouts. Because if you run slow cars like the Unos or FVees, they just end up just trying to run flat out everywhere on the formation lap
I don't have the full file but the relevant part of the AIW is the 'TELEPORT' section and the 'teleportwp' setting in the 'Waypoint' section. That last value was 263 and the 'TELEPORT' section was:Thanks so much for trying this out! Darn, it's too bad it didn't work – it seemed like it might have.

Oh, it's Motec... of course, I should have known. Have never used it myself, but shoot that looks cool
Gotcha! That makes sense
That line must be a leftover from the rF1 track. Will remove this.Thanks so much!
The AI can drive quite close the edge if the corridors (the track limits for AI) are set appropriately.Was just trying this out, and I really like the lines the cars are taking now. Including the Miller Lite AIW you included above. At first glance I worried they were cutting it too close to the grass, but didn't see anything concerning in that regard in my racing with the AI.
Yep, exactly. And you've done a great job with the corridors!
Understood. Didn't know that!
Thanks so much for the fix.
FYI I was using the original positions, not the ones you provided in your previous post.A quick question Simon - how do you update the groove after changing the racing line?
Ah, I see! I hear the original editor no longer runs on Windows 10, is that correct? If so, how do you run it? Perhaps you're running on Windows 7? I think I heard it still works on that OS.
I will see if I can dig up that post, thanks! EDIT: found it on the TrippTeam server
Yes, that is correct; it runs on W7 but not on W10.
