[Tetri]

Hey guys,

i've been Playing around with AI fast lanes and AI hints lately, notably for the 1930s combo i'm setting up.

I have managed something i'm actually happy with on the Fat Alfie bremgarten. I still don't know how to setup the ai hints properly and there's still a few crashes when going side by side on some corners, but so far the AI is 3-4 secs faster.

I would like to setup a track skin with the new AI rather than overwrite teh original one (the tests with other cars did not go super well). What's the fastest way to create a map skin folder and implement it with CM?

Anyway, i finished the AI cars for the 1934-1935-1936-1937 best cars available (HSS Maserati 8CM, HSS Alfa P3, Delage 15S8 Seaman, Mercedes W125 and Auto Union Type C). They all make a lap between 2.29 - 2.32, which is really hard to follow aftyer a few laps with overheated tyres.

I'll make a quick vid and upload the cars, but i would love to upload the AI fast lane on the Brem as well here first, to get some feedback.

If anyone thinks the foliage is a little bright for their PPF, add this to the end of the config:

"Lekker" is also used in both Dutch and Norwegian, meaning basically the same as in Afrikaans.

Dont forget german it has a C instead of double K lecker

Oh little mistake in version number, Sainte Croix v1.1 was latest, now behind the dl-link now is the same as i posted yesterday, just w updated version number, sorry .

GT Sainte Croix v1.2
-made big tents a bit nicer-added E/E2 layouts all around the edges
--including that long stretching corner north-east of the circuit
--ai line might not be the best

UI still has 1.1

 

[mteam]

Is anybody else having to right click in the content screen of CM to show this bar or have I ticked/unticked something in error?

Thank you I had a feeling I'd ticked something

Anyone?

It's almost like the ai cars are stuck into 6th gear and can't downshift when they start driving like a grandma. But when you crash them from behind they find their speed again.

I noticed that ASR cars never, ever have this problem. ASR cars have this in ai.ini

[GEARS]
UP=13100
DOWN=80 <<------------ !!!!
SLIP_THRESHOLD=1.1
GAS_CUTOFF_TIME=0.050

while Lotus98T based SD cars have this.

[GEARS]
UP=11500
DOWN=6400 <<-----------!!!!
SLIP_THRESHOLD=0.95
GAS_CUTOFF_TIME=0.360

Could this make the difference?

This forum is full of very experienced car modders. Surely someone has a clue, huh? Trying to solve this issue.I know the SD cars are garbage but I've managed to improve them in so many ways already. This one issue still left and it's very difficult to test because the problem only happens rarely (and mostly on the street circuits).

Is there any "patent fix" for the "injured ai cars" when they start crawling on the track 20 km/h after they hit the wall? And when they do, they create annoying traffic problems. Especially on Monaco.

Anyone has found out something during this 10 years?

So the latest version is v1.2? Because i redownloaded it, but the ui says 1.1 @leBluem

EDIT: I missed the post of @Fall Guy about the same thing

Perfect timing…

@RMi_wood (or anyone else),

I have a weird error on the GRID Washington DC track. When I click the look-back view (from cockpit view), I don't see the normal rear view. I see a drone-like flyover of the track. Screenshot below. Any solution?

I'm on the current public release of CSP 0.2.4. It's only this track. (GRID Miami Smugglers Blue is fine.) I've tried different cars, and the same error happens.

I had this problem on one of the Autopolises and this fixed it. Hitting "Look Back" would fling the camera to a corner of the usable map.

Glance back camera hovering high up like heli cam... feels like a quick fix but no idea where to change parameters - anyone? thx

DOWN value varies depending on the [HEADER] version of the ai.ini file
For VERSION=4, DOWN value is a percentage which would be the 1st scenario in your example, being 80%.

For versions prior to 4, DOWN value is rpm (2nd scenario in your example).

And yes, having the wrong value will cause AI to not shift properly and drive like grandmas

I don’t have that setting checked. It is unchecked by default, and I never touched it.

Sorry, that was my bad. I thought there was a New York city street circuit.

When I saw this car, I was honestly surprised, from all those pictures published at their webpage I thought this is the "real deal", finally official TCR car, data based, CAD 3D model, fully optimized, carefully crafted... Thought my TCR cars are thing of a past... Then I downloaded it, opened it and... yes, it was probably made by the same guy who did Virtual TCR mod. It has the same sounds like old Virtual TCR Elantra, wheel blur is always on in CM showroom, the car glows at night, even some sponsor logos glow, I believe physics is that infamous esport physics from Virtual TCR car as well. The model is from the same source like mine, so Hum3D just with remodeled front and some details, but no LODs, no optimization, quickly put together. When I tried to drive it, it almost broke my hands for some reason with my DD wheel...

I don't think the bar for AC TCR cars is set so low that we should be happy for this kind of mods. I am not sure how I should feel about **** like this, really. I was honestly pissed for a while... Anyways, all modesty aside, if you guys want to drive proper TCR cars, avoid this one and grab proper TCR mods at my Patreon (free to download)... Especially try Cupra or Audi with new sounds and with headphones, erection guaranteed!

I've raced that mod at the ADAC Sim Racing Expo 24 (4th in the sunday final) and I was surprised by the force required to turn the steering wheel!
And there has been some controversies in the Virtual Cup since the aero part of the setup seems to be broken and other CSP related stuff.

I remember a friend of mine (who races TCRs) tested the Cupra a couple of year ago on my company motion sim and he was very pleased with the behaviour of the car. You already use feedback and inputs from real racing driver, and I know it, but to hear that from a different source is usually appreciated.

I remember Megane TCR from the Virtual TCR pack, the tyre wear was bugged on this one and you had always full grip Nobody noticed though, because Megane was not very used as it is not very popular IRL as well

hey Masscot, a second time the subdir in the track folder is that a mistake or supposed to be like this? (containing ai and data folder, so I guess it needs to be in the main track folder as well... )

cheers and thanks for this wonderful track !

it's needed, it's how the layout is called (you can get rid of it and make as you own with data/ai outside), but this will break your version for online use since it will be different than the one you have.

Genuine question from @jac0 though. I have made the same remark earlier, but got no response.
I understand the need if there would be another layout, but since there isn't, it makes little or no sense to have the file structure like that. It only clutters the ui unnecessary (my OCD you know)
Since I don't go online anymore, I always get rid of that kind of structure (there are more tracks like this).

The visual difference in the ui:

If you knew the significant and exhausting issues that the team has been dealing with when updating this track then you'd realise that things like this were at the bottom of a very long list. The track works, please just try to enjoy it without being distracted by tiny little non-issues that at worst have minor aesthetic impact on the UI.
Edit: don't mean this reply to sound spiky, it's just a minor aesthetic UI preference that doesn't affect use of the track and not something that warrants a third update by itself.
