Shanghai DAT file

Hi,

I have a problem with the Shanghai circuit, all the AI cars run out of fuel before the end of the race. They appear to use to much fuel consumption on a single lap.

I have tried TSM but can't seem to get it to work and i have also changed the fuel consumption using CMagic but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Does someone have a DAT file for this track which has the correct fuel consumption that they could possibly send me?

It would be much appreciated because it is really frustrating me now!!!

Thanks

download of single copy and paste dat is the best there is

thats the version i am using and the fuel consumption is not correct in the DAT.

Thanks anyway

6675 ; fuel???
15892 ; fuel consumption 1
15962 ; fuel consumption 2

Thanks for your help.

Still the cars are using up too much fuel for 1 lap.

Do i have to decrease the Fuel Consumption figures in the magic data? Does changing the fuel figure make much of difference, if so is that a decrease?

any help is greatly appreciated

@ rmfarey: as far as i remember you have to decrease the fuel consumption figures
in magic-data for having enough fuel for a lap (if it consumes too much).
but it could also be the other way round. just have a try.
it even depends on the physics file you use...


@ phantaman: do you think 2,225 kg fuel per lap is enough for shanghai ?
read this:

"Pitlane & refuelling strategy

The pitlane length and profile (i.e. corners in the pitlane entry) contribute to the determination of the optimum fuel strategy. The pitlane loss at Shanghai is approximately 23 seconds, the 6th most penalising pitlane in the Championship. To complete a normalised distance of 5km around the Shanghai circuit requires 2.55kg of fuel against an average of 2.42kg per 5km across all circuits this season, making the circuit the 4th least demanding track of the year in terms of fuel consumption."

i got my fuel load at 7924 which is still a bit less then the needed fuel.

three items mentioned are only a basis for consult... and the physics (Max RPM) be used can also influence... i hope i could help with these explanations. :p

for sure you did help !
i was just stumbeling over that figures and was thinking, maybe they are a little low...

ah didn't realise that the physics could also affect the fuel consumption.

I'll have a play around with the figures
