¿Can you help me with rcd files?

Hi, i dont undestrand some settings from de rcd files.

Here, a rcd file.

Philippe Alliot
{
//Driver Info
Abbreviation=P. Alliot
Nationality=French
NatAbbrev=FRA

//Driver Stats
StartsDry=2.2
StartsWet=-2.4
StartStalls=0.0
QualifyingAbility=8.0
RaceAbility=3.3
Consistency=2.0
RainAbility=3.00
Passing=68.0
Crash=2.4
Recovery=80.0
CompletedLaps%=70
Script=default.scp
TrackAggression=0.7

// Increase attempted low-speed cornering by adding a minimum onto calculated speed.
// Reduce attempted high-speed cornering by multiplying speed by a number less than 1.0.
// <adjusted speed> = CorneringAdd + (CorneringMult * <original speed>)
CorneringAdd=1.5
CorneringMult=.965

//AI Throttle Control - how good they are at their own traction control upon throttle application
TCGripThreshold=0.7 // Range: 0.0-1.0
TCThrottleFract=1.2 // Range: 0.0-???
TCResponse=0.0 // Range: 0.0-???

//AI skill mistake variables
MinRacingSkill = 0.90
Composure = 0.010

//AI ColdBrain variables
RaceColdBrainMin=0.96
RaceColdBrainTime=120
QualColdBrainMin=0.85
QualColdBrainTime=200

Whats mean Black Settigns?

I think that consistency is the hability to set lap by lap similar times, but i dont know if you can set the numbers 1 to 20 or 1 to 5 High number is high consistency? More consistency is less AI runs wide or mistakes?

AI throttle control, its depends if you set tc off, low or high? For me is the sensibility throttle for AI drivers, but, whats means tc reponse?

AI skill mistake, Higher values is more AI mistakes? Whats mean min race Skill?

Sorry about my english, please can you help me? i came from F1 challenge, and this setting didn´t appear on the other game.

I suggest that you read this sticky thread. It contains many useful tips on GTR2 AI, including rcd files

http://www.nogripracing.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=39455

And download this file. It contains a tutorial on the AI

http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=24453

After you take a thourough reading, feel free to ask anything you don't understand still

I had been read this tutorial, but i cant understand the setting on the black variables.

Consistency

AI skils.

Ai cold brain

How can I make AI runs wide?

Thanks

Cosistency: I find that lowering this value helps the AI to run at a constant pace, with less variability in their lap times. The lowest value should be more than 0

Track Aggression: The more aggressive the AI is, the more overtaking they will do. But when they are more aggressive they are also more prone to mistake. Actually, I set the aggression to at least 0.925. This helps the AI to be more courageous and make more passes on lapped AI cars.

AI throttle control: not sure about this one

AI min skill and composure: the first one is self explanatory. It means the minimum skill level they run at. If you set it at 1.00, you could be able to make the AI faster. Composure has to do with the AI mistakes, such as running a corner wide (maybe even crashes). Normally I set it at a low value, but if you want more mistakes, you should consider increasing it.

The cold brain values: cold brain has to do when the AI are at the beginning of their stint, with their tyres and brakes still cold. ColdBrainMin means the level of skill at which the AI drives when it is on cold tyres. ColdBrainTime means the amount of time the AI will use the ColdBrainMin value. If you lower ColdBrainTime, the AI will get to their normal race pace faster.

Hope you've understood everything. I cannot guarantee that the above are all correct, since I deduced the above from my own tests
