Vintage Career Sim (Excel-based) 1

Login or Register an account to download this content
This is a career mode for vintage drivers that runs in Excel. Inspired by NeoFly for MS Flight Simulator, this tool generates 5 random rides that you can accept, starting with the lowest levels of vintage racing. As you build up your experience, you move into faster cars and more famous tracks.

Stats are tracked along the way, and there is a Hall of Fame records when you've maxed out the XP. The length is somewhere in the middle so that you could replay if you wanted and make different car choices. Maybe you want to be all Ferrari all the time, maybe do as much open wheel as you can.

After you decide which race to do, you create the event in PC2. Run the event and enter your result in the spreadsheet using the dropdown selector. Click Log Result and you will be assessed if you qualify for license upgrade and 5 new opportunities will be generated.

Ideally, this would be better if it were like NeoFly and it integrated into the game, possibly setting up the event and returning the results. I'd settle for this being a smartphone app that you could have with the game open. But right now its a 2nd screen app.

I've made a similar tool for AMS2, and I'm working on an advanced version for PC2, RRRE or AMS 2 that allows you to focus on disciplines. This version is my favorite since I think the PC2 vintage content is so compelling, and it gives me a reason and format to test out so much of this good stuff.

took some fiddling to get working tried open office with no luck so got a copy of excel and it took me some time to get the macro's unlocked in excel settings so the sheets work but once I did wow brilliant. I thought it was just a basic sheet to log race results but no this gives you the car to run, the number of AI, time, weather type and the number of wether slots also alters the Ai difficulty depending on your race results. Grate Work

The only thing I'd love to see added to this is a section or another sheet where you can pick your own car and get this to generate a race and keep altering the ai settings for you,

I have the 2 Pcars 2 sheets and the AMS 2 sheet, it is annoying why the games don't include these things in the games tho they should do
Thanks for your work Ryan

Thanks. I've done another comprehensive tool for PC2 that spans six disciplines and you pick races based on the discipline you want, but counts as credit for the others. Without realizing it, I think I created a racing RPG?!

That being said, I've probably maxed out on PC2. I'm trying to decide whether to do RaceRoom or AMS2 next. With PC2, I wanted a way to be forced to try all the great content and in multiclass where appropriate. With the others, I may hone in on key series and do more schedule based event planning. Who knows, possibly buying cars and scheduling series, like you ask. Taking feedback now. Too many ideas floating around.
