2 cars of the same team pit at the same time

Hi guys, why is it that in some track mods the 2 teammates pit at the same time, making one of the cars wait for their teammate to be serviced. How do I fix that please? I'm using CSM. Thanks!

Hi masiso,

I had this behavior too, and as far as I remember this was caused by overlapping pit-stop timings on different strategies in the magic data files or a too short time frame for a pit stop window.

Below you see an example of the values of the Default.tmd

Make sure you give every scheduled pit stop a window of at least 2 laps and take care there's always a difference of at least 2 laps between different pit windows when using several strategies during a race.

Group 1 Pitstop=0
Group 1 stop 1=0
Group 1 Pit window 1=0
Group 2 Pitstop=78 -----> means 78% of cars will use a two-stop strategy
Group 2 stop 1=15 -----> first stops can start in round 15
Group 2 Pit window 1=4 ----> latest stops can be made in lap 19
Group 2 stop 2=35
Group 2 Pit window 2=5
Group 3 Pitstop=22 -----> 22% of the cars will make a three-stop strategy
Group 3 stop 1=11 ----> first stop will be made in lap 11
Group 3 Pit window 1=2 ---> latest stop for this window in lap 13
Group 3 stop 2=26
Group 3 Pit window 2=4
Group 3 stop 3=42
Group 3 Pit window 3=6

Greetings

Make sure that when a car pits it has at least for 1.7 laps of fuel left. In that case the second car can do another lap and pit the next lap.

Where can I adjust the minimum amount of fuel a car can have before it pits? thanks!

You have to edit line 71; AI Fuel Comsumption of the magic data.
