Weird problem w/Singapore 2013 track [fixed]

I installed the Singapore 2013 track (authors drt01, Jcaranti) on my system last night and it worked very well (huge improvement over the previous version from 2008 I believe) with one exception. My kid uses the rookie mode, i.e. steering and brake assist. When the user car leaves the pit lane, the system slows the car down to a near crawl at the end before entering the track(?). The several seconds lost there render the program being run in a race mode untenable. Anyone have any advice on fixing this?

Thanks sincerely,
AustinF1

I used to have this bug present in my Monaco Historic track, it was there almost all the way during the testing phase, but then it somehow went away.

I'm not sure how I did it, my initial suggestion would be to take a look at the pit lane flags to see if they are all at the correct sectors. Alternatively, check if the pit exit sector width values are high enough.

Hi,

I was recently asked the same question and the problem lies with the Pit Lane Fences End flag.

When the car reaches the pitlane sector which has that flag, it basically tells the game that the car is now on track, and no longer in pitlane. And if the game understands that you're "on track", it sees a 90-degree turn to the left, and your car way off the ideal line. So, with auto brakes on, you get a slowdown to make sure you go "safely" through the corner. Of course we know that isn't true.

So, to force the game into thinking we're still on pitlane, and thus consider only the pitlane sectors regarding speed, the solution is to move the Pit Lane Fences End flag to a sector after the first corner. In the particular .dat I was sent to analyze, moving the Pit Lane Fences End flag to pitlane sector 154 solved the problem.

Define who is everyone, acording to you...?


The phrase: You dont like it? dont use it.
That comes from an ex member of this forum that went by the nickname Lee71.
As it said if you dont like the work or have a problem with it then do use it.

Knowbody asked him to download the track.

On behalf of the site I shall apologize to the OP and his young son and sincerely hope he resolves the problem somehow and gets back to enjoying the sim, which is as it should be. Any other argument is invalid.
