Hello

I made a 1.290 night course I think it's fun to race, 9 turns esse's, sight elvation.changes,
I used outlaw cts, pta, mods..for racing. I do what i can for the time i have, no ground breaking
graphics, i take a track open it and use whats there, I make the ai as best as i can using a gamepad.


I got hooked on short roadies, so thats what i like to race. I hope you will to..
Watch the ai in the pits...little issue...

Kurt

Thank you for posting and sharing this track.

Thank you Kurt for sharing your tracks. Since they come without installer, I'd need a little help. Unpacked the rar-file, renamed it to "sandy", then it shows in GEM+ season manager. But in CA71seas.ini there is "name=     " and the flag is "saflg" (Kyalami). I didn't succeed to use the tracks up to now.   Thank you for your advice.

The track is not for GPL but for nascar 2003.
So it won't work on GPL

all you need to do is unpack it, there are 2 folders the track is in the 2nd folder, you can copy and paste track to your NR2K3..track folder.
Hope that helps

Yes, now it works

Kurt, it's good to have you back.


Even though it's close to a mile and a half, Sandy Short exhibits the qualities of short track racing.

When I work on ai, I strive to have aggressive ai to promote passing with minimal to no wrecking.
Since I've run more races with the new track.ini, I think I was too timid with the ai_drafting_distance value. Usually, a value of 1.07 is about the lowest you can go with stock cars on a RC. However, in the short track tradition, some bumping is (almost) demanded.
Once the field starts to string out, ai passing opportunities decease, but with a little more aggressive drafting value it appears that you can get more passing action without unwarranted wrecking. [If wrecks are your thing, keep lowering the ai_drafting_distance value until the wrecking becomes unbearable.]

Warning: low "Driver/RC" and "Vehicle/Chassis" ai ratings will lead to more ai mayhem with these values.
[ ai_track ]
ai_drafting_distance = 1.05    ; was 1.07
ai_squeeze_pcnt = 0.05    ; was 0.00

[ ai_track_cts ]
ai_drafting_distance = 1.05    ; was 1.07
