Fenryr's Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya 2023 (fn_barcelona) + Pyyer Ext 2024 AI 1.2

Description

Here's my AI racing lines and hints for both layouts of Fenryr's Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya 2023! This was a request by user @alessio088, so please say thank you to them. I took inspiration from Norris's pole lap in the 2024 Spanish GP, which to my eyes was kinda unconventional, but it works really well with the AI.

Based on my testing, it's about a second faster for the RSS Formula Hybrid 2023. The original AI line was already very good but I couldn't adjust the sidelines without everything going sideways. So I re-recorded everything then did further adjustments to smooth it out. The AI now has a lot more room to breathe and fight - they will not give up on the outside of Turn 1, so pick your battles!

How to Install

1. (Optional) Backup the existing AI files by renaming them with a .bak extension. (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\content\tracks\fn_barcelona\layout_name\ai\)
2. Delete any pre-existing payloads.bin files in the "ai" folder.
3. Go back one directory up and go into the "data" folder (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\content\tracks\fn_barcelona\layout_name\data\)
4. Rename the existing side_l.csv and side_r.csv with a ".bak" extension - this is to prevent AC from overwriting the pre-baked sidelines.
5. Extract the contents of the .7zip file.
6. Copy the "content" folder and paste it into your AC installation folder (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa).
7. Replace files when requested.

You do not have to press Shift during loading - the sidelines I defined should already be baked into the .ai files.
