If this should be posted somewhere else, please let me know.

Can someone help me figure out what is wrong with a skin that was created for me? It is a PC27 skin and the problem I have is the sidepod inlets are empty. I checked the .veh file for my #31 driver and everything matches what is listed in Al Jr.'s .veh. Here is a link to the .dds file if anyone wants to check it out.

The stock PC27s for Al Unser, Jr. and Andre Ribeiro don't have this issue.

Thanks in advance for anyone's time and help!

UPDATE: Dann Murillo helped me determine that there was a canvas color issue. I went back to Al Jr.'s DDS file and deleted the sections where the numbers go. I then copied the number areas from my #31 DDS and pasted them in the exact same place in the Al Jr. DDS. I then exported the image as a new #31 DDS file.

how do I make AI change wing setup?

The answer is in this exact thread.

@Dann Murillo hey,forgot about that, sorry. Yeah, i updated all 4 chassis and i tried to add multiple tracks.

Yeah that is actually true that road course trim is the default but on a server sometimes people join in short oval trim, not realizing they have accidentally selected it in their upgrades. So as the league admin, it is easier for me to just lock everything in for everyone.

Thanks 100 Dan!

Here is a trackconfigbase.ini with all of the JNS Tracks as well as many others loaded: https://mega.nz/#!cMF0zJbb!Ui2IyozlcqtNQK4z9jTVHIHErbEcDn-AAqeYpKwdPK0
I have no idea how to upload it at RD without creating a whole new resource, which I do not want to do.

Works like a charm, I can race Alex Zanardi without having to use roadcourse wings!

Hello, Thank you for sharing this 1998 mod cart, works great and good memories because all your good work allows me to recreate all the fun I had when I started simracing in the 90s (icr2). Even though I discovered it very late, your work is still very much appreciated today.

Having lots of fun with this mod, I've waited my whole life for a peak-CART game with oval racing.

Does anyone have advice for high speed ovals (MIS, Fontana, Pocono)? I have the JNS oval pack and am struggling quite a bit with aero induced oversteer at high speeds. The margin for this occurring is generally 200+ MPH.

Being on track alone I am able to set my car up just fine. But when I race with others I am finding that as soon as I get into the slipstream of another car the back end comes right around. It's near impossible to control. The AI doesn't suffer from this so I am wondering if there's something in my setup I should adjust.

If this is the wrong place to ask could someone please direct me to a similar discussion? I'd appreciate the feedback, and again, lots of fun this mod despite the struggles on the high speed tracks.

Fantastic to hear! Playing CART Extreme has been my #1 new activity to do during this dumb COVID-19 pandemic.

These links should help. Tim O'Glock's, a.k.a. Ferdinand Lechner, setups are amazing. He is definitely a simracing alien, but these should help you quite a bit. They helped me a ton!

CART Extreme Setups

Hey Guys, I am having issues downloading setups into the sim. Does anyone have screenshots of a base tune they run so I can manually enter them. I am looking for setups for all the types of tracks. This is strictly for me VS the AI. Thanks guys

CART Extreme @ Road America

Here are my setups for all four chassis. I created the base setup for the Reynard chassis and then made balance adjustments to make it work with the other cars. I managed to reduce drag and increase downforce considerably compared to the default setup. Lap times should be around 1.5s faster than...

Funny you direct me to Ferdinand's setups.

I was looking at these setups but I am having trouble locating the "Player" file he mentioned regarding changing the damping units for the shock absorbers.

I've tried the file explorer search yet I cannot seem to locate this file for changing these values, and finding a conversion between 'clicks' and rates (N/m/s or Lb/in/s) is proving just as difficult since I'm unsure if the conversion changes from car-to-car.

By any chance do you know where this file is located? I have tried searching through Automobilista via file explorer and have checked a bunch of ini files so far but have yet to locate the file where I can change the damping units.

Much love for the quick reply from before btw.

Go to your Windows Documents directory. You should see an Automobilista directory there. This is *not* where the game is installed. The sub-directories for this directory are where your replays, screenshots, car setups, and user data are stored.

In the "user data" sub-directory, there will be another sub-directory that matches your name in the game. Go into that sub-directory with your name and you will see a file named Your Name.plr (substitute "Your Name" with the name you are using in the game.

In the [ Game Options ] section, there is a parameter named Damper Units (line 400 in my file). Change its value from 0 to 1 and save the file.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the help, gonna keep going with some setups and see how racing goes on the larger ovals going forward.

All the best

Hi. Great to see my setups are still being used.

I don't think there is anything you can change in the setup to get rid of the oversteer when behind another car. It seems to be inherent to the cars. I've only done two or three oval races but in all of them this weird oversteer caused players to crash.

I take it you only use these cars offline? In that case you should be able to edit the physics files (.hdv files) of the cars and fix this behavior. In the .hdv files you can find draft lift multipliers for the front (FWdraftLiftMult) and rear (RWdraftLiftMult) wings. Play around with these values until you find something that works. This approach should work but take my advice with a grain of salt as I don't have a lot of experience modding cars.

We will be racing Michigan, Fontana, and Indy in May in a slightly modified (more league friendly) version of this mod. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you would like to join us. We have ran CART for years and I know some of the drivers in my league were able to fix the issue you are speaking of while some just had to be more careful with the throttle in the draft.

How is the oval ai? Is it doable to do a full race (multiple pitstops) without many ai incidents on ovals?

 

[USCTrojan4JC]

The AI for Fontana Speedway (California Speedway/Auto Club Speedway) from Patrick Giranthon's track pack is pretty good. I can't speak for any other tracks. @Dann Murillo might be able to provide additional insight.

I finally downloaded this mod the other day and absolutely love it. However, I'm running into an issue that I don't see mentioned anywhere: Every AI-driven car leaves the race with a DNF when trying to leave the pits after a pitstop. I tried standing starts in the race settings, too, and every AI car DNFs immediately when the lights turn green. So far I've tested on three AMS default tracks (Buenos Aires 15, Donington GP, Interlagos Outer) with the same result. Is it a clutch/torque issue? I was hoping to run a fictional championship on more international tracks, hence not using the period-correct circuits.

I know this is precisely ZERO help.. But I've had this mod installed and run it since it was released, I have never one encountered that issue. It was developed in part by the Reiza guys so should be 100% fully compatible with the game. I know that doesn't help you, but, just saying! Maybe verify the integrity of the files in Steam?
