Shanghai International Circuit (shanghai) and Pyyer Ext AI 1.0

Hey everyone!



Description

Here's my AI racing lines and hints for the Shanghai International Circuit (shanghai). This is essentially the same AI line that I made for the gp layout of shanghai_v2. I took the time to further refine the sidelines so that they don't get too eager in some corners.

Just keep in mind that the pit_lane line is not perfect but its the best I can do that's generally compatible across different cars.

Track: shanghai (by Junshen Wu)
Extensions / Layouts:

• original
  • 2000s
  • 2010s
  • 2019 / 1000GP

Note: These AI lines may not work for future versions. If you'd like my AI lines for shanghai_v2, you can find them here.



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\shanghai\ai\ or \shanghai\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\shanghai\data\ or \shanghai\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.
