Rain bug?

Hello everyone.

I found, maybe, a little bug in a race with rain conditions.
I mean.. It's cloudy, first drops of rain falling, track become wet (full) but AI continue driving with dry tyres compound.
Their time laps don't change too much, but for the player.. disaster!
So I go to the pit to change tyres, first to intermediate and after to rain.
Lap times for real player increase, not for AI.

Did you notice about that?

Cheers

Which track are you using? Possibly the track Magic Data is bugged? Send me a link and I'll have a look?

Does this happen on the original 17 tracks for you?

I have seen this too...

In trackpack 2007

All of the tracks in the 2007 trackpack?

I don´t know if it happens in all tracks, because it is not so common. But it was just as PaZa desscribed, sometimes the AI cars didn´t change tyres

All tracks. I updated tracks just with this 2001 trackpack http://gp4db.com/index.php?category=tracks&section=2001 and his update.

Maybe this is the reason for this strange bug.

I'll try replacing original circuits wad and .dat files.

Anyone got the same problem with original tracks/.dat?

Guys.. I made some tests.. even when asphalt is wet and only the weather is cloudy (or sunny rarely), AI mount dry tyres!!
I saw somewhere, there was a parameter changeble.. maybe in the SCTXX .md3 files.. I don't remember exactly..

We could fix it sure!!

I've never had a problem like this so I can only guess, but as far as I know there's only desc76 and desc77 in the magic data file that determines when the CC cars stop to change tyres in the rain.

Default values seem to range from 9373 to 15453 for desc76 and 13000 to 24000 for desc77

Higher values mean change sooner, so I would use cmagic4 to extract a fresh copy of the MD from the track you're using and took a look at those values - and if they aren't within those ranges try changing them to something like:

15000 ; ????? - helps decide if a tyre set needs changing? (dw)
24000 ; cc crossover point (higher, sooner)

If that didn't fix it, I would extract a fresh copy of the MD from another version of the same track and use that.

Beyond that, I've no idea...
