It's amazing... the only problem for me is in turn 1... where the AI is quite bad

If you can fix this it would became one of the greatest circuit to race in this game... but it's 5 stars anyway, thank you for your work.

The route is okay. The problem is that the steering lock of the AI vehicles is much too low. The original SimBIN vehicles in particular have this flaw.

Open the .hdc files for vehicles with a text editor. Scroll down to the section [CONTROLS], and write these numbers in:

SteerLockRange=(5.0, 0.5, 57)
SteerLockSetting=38

Do this for every vehicle, and the AI will no longer have problems with sharp 90 degree or 180 degree curves on any route

Ok, you are right.

I found an AIW editor and watched the drive line in the first U-Turn. The drive line leads in a wide oval-shaped arc around the first U-turn. I am changing it now.

TMSRace updated Santa Fe Night Race with a new update entry:

AI driving behavior

The AI cars now follow a round narrow line around the first U-bend, and they no longer drive against the outside wall for no reason.

In the fast chicane, the AIs stay away from the wall and do not cause unnecessary accidents.

Citie Lights Edition 2

1.) The road now has rain reflections and a higher negative lod bias. This sharpens the surface texture (especially in the distance)

4.) All 117 old tire walls have been replaced with more detailed und rounded ones.

(If you are using the latest Crew Chief addon, you have...
