Quick Guidelines:

1. No more than 6 stock trucks to avoid groundbox error.
2. Download dxtory and limit your framerate between 20fps to 30fps.
3. AI trucks cheat.


After all this time another track by yours truly. It's been 5 years since my last creation. Wowza!
For some reason I felt like creating a track, probably it has something to do with my weekly races against
SLO_RAZ and SLO_COPE. Anyway, I realized that people racing on tracks nowadays are doing it most likely
offline. Hence I believed it was imperative to make the trucks competitive, how do you mean? And some of
you might ask... the trucks are working? Well the answer has two parts.

1. Yes. The AI trucks actually work. HOWEVER you need to to download and install a program called dxtory.
You can follow the instructions at the following links:

or

NOTE: Scroll down for first hand instructions in this very text file.

2. In order to make the AI trucks compete the track uses, what I call, Spirit Gates. The Spirit Gates
allow through only those who are trully pure in their hearts (and yes, the AI trucks are pure). 
Thus 99.9% of you will not be able to pass through. Actually you/we are so impure that we corrupt the 
AI trucks just by being nearby and the Spirit Gates won't let them through. Put some distance 
between you and the AI and they will be allowed through the gates again.

PLEASE NOTE: I recommend not to run more than 6 stock trucks in total. This way the ground box error can
be avoided completely. I compromised heavily some aspects of the track in order to try and have 8 trucks
in there and I've partially succeeded, but only partially. There is a 50/50 chance that you can either
error out (especially on the first lap) or finish the race with 8 trucks. So if you want to avoid that
please use 6 only. Not that it makes much difference AI wise. The AI is so bad that only the first two
positions are competitive, everybody else is too bothered bumping each other to notice they're supposed
to be racing.


GETTING AI TRUCKS TO RUN INSTRUCTIONS:

This Universal FPS limiter (called Dxtory) works great with MTM2.

http://dxtory.com/v2-download-en.html

I've downloaded the latest version from the site (2.0.123) on Win 7 64bit.

Please note the program only works with directx (hardware acceleration). It won't work in software mode 
as it as a DX overlay that forces the fps cap.

Inside the program all you need to do is go to the "advanced setting", click the "limit video FPS" and input 
your desire frame rate. I recommend anywhere between 20fps to 30 fps. Now you are good to go. When 
you start MTM2 it will automatically create a profile for the game and it will save the settings.


NOTE: Make sure to exit the program whenever you close MTM2 or otherwise it will limit every program that 
it recognizes to your fps cap.
