Hi Chris
Thanks for the reply.
Answers to your Qs:
I have now skipped using the existing car chips and purchased all new chips which I installed today.
different places (but of course always on a corner as thats when it derails
set cars to zero in APB - ok will check that tonight
Yes pace car profile is being saved
correct ID for profile etc - yes
So I did made some headway today....
I ran some power leads to other parts of the track today just to get some better continuity in power (to be honest I dont think I noticed any difference but hey ho) - I also cave the track a clean (I think I will crimp and copper take the whole lot once I get everything else working)
I set up a fixed throttle pace car (eg set up
not using my controller) and got it running round the track nicely in test mode (all be it a little bit slow to race against, but fine for testing) - this ran fine in test mode (did about 20 laps).
So I then set up a 10 lap GP race with myself and the pace car.... I started the race but removed my car and just let the pace car run on its own.... and it completed the 10 laps no problem, no derails and no speeding up etc.
Great me thinks... so I set up the race again this time with the intension or driving too. We start the race and the pace car speeds up and derails on the first corner. WTF?
Ok so I start the GP again, with both the pace car and myself, but this time I remove my car again... the pace car does several laps no issue. I then pick up my throttle (without my car on the track) and squeeze the trigger (full throttle) and low a behold the pace car speeds up and derails!
So it seems that as soon as I give an input on any other controller the pace car starts doing a wobbly.
Now I should point out that the other throttles are not controlling the pace car, eg no direct throttle increase based on my input.... but the pace car just increases slightly and derails.
Likewise my car on or off the track makes no difference to this effect. Eg it happens regartdless to whether my car is on or off the track - it purely seems to be based on any throttle input from another controller whilst the pace car is running.
Any ideas?
