AI bunching up and crashing under caution?

[Devin41]

Ok I did try and search for this on here and found zip, nada, zero, zilch so anyways, this happens at a lot of the tracks I have and I'm wondering if there is something in the .ini that needs to be changed. When the caution comes out and after everyone has raced back to the line, they all bunch up and crash into each other while trying to get single file. Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Okay, no information on which track, track type, or series.

If it's a speedway/SS or roadcourse, the single, easiest thing to try is increasing "ai_panic_decel". Do it in small increments, too large a value can screw the normal racing. The second easy track.ini fix, increase "ai_squeeze_pcnt" (add the line if it's not there), start at 0.05 and work up in 0.05 increments. Beyond that, you'd have to look at the lp's. Make sure there are minpanic and maxpanic lp's and that they actually provide some avoidance space (you have to use "reflap"). (You can run reflap, so you can see the lp's, while racing, you can only make new lp's in testing mode.)

If it's a short track, good luck. :-/

Yeah, Martinsville is one I have never been able to figure out... Bristol also sucks because when you are towards the back of the pack, you usually get lapped when pitting.

It's every series but mainly on short tracks so I guess I'm SOL! Thanks guys.
