N2003 = is it possible to skip tire wear and have them at temp all the time ?

Is it possible to skip tire wear and have them at temp all the time ?
I'd like to set up a few road course tracks with zero tire wear
and have the tires at temp all the time
Just want to lap around the course etc . . .

can the track ini be modded for this?
Please explain

thanks.

In the track.ini for the track you want, look for the line "track_tire_wear x.xx" and change the number to 0.00. I'm not quite sure what you mean by at temp all the time.

Thanks for the tip. From what I thought, the tires gripped best at the proper high temperature
Is there a way to dial that in or is that not correct?

 

[Tstewartfan]

My best guess is that by changing the wear to zero that the tires won't wear down and heat up anymore. I'd go ahead and run a few laps with the 0.00 wear and see what the temps look like.

And ofcourse don't forget the track_tire_heat line aswell but I believe it wont give you exactly what you want.

[ track ] {or [ track_(series) ]}
track_tire_heat = xx.xx________ ; Whatever value it takes to run in the 205 - 215 range for the hottest tire. It can get hotter at spots, but it should return to this range in relatively short order.
track_tire_wear = 0.70_________ ; Shouldn't need to go any lower than this if you have a decent setup and you don't do a lot of spinning
track_tire_wear_loss = 0.08_____; At worst, this would take a little handling away on the last lap or so of a fuel run, but the laptime shouldn't suffer because of reduced fuel load
track_tire_wear_exp = 1.75_____ ; Moves the effect of worn tires to the last lap or two of a fuel run
track_asphalt_grip = xx.xx______ ; Grip value has effect on tire heat value, a higher the grip wil require a lower tire heat value
track_concrete_grip = xx.xx_____ ; Grip value has effect on tire heat value, a higher the grip wil require a lower tire heat value


If you're running among ai:
[ ai_track ] {[ ai_track_(series) ]}
ai_tire_wear_left = ________ ; left tire wear adjuster for ai, to match the Player_ cup = 65-75, gns/cts = 60-70, pta = 30
ai_tire_wear_right = _______ ; right tire wear adjuster for ai, to match the Player_ cup = 65-75, gns/cts = 60-70, pta = 30
