    Hi all.

    Has anyone ever experienced an issue of cars swapping from the left to right and right to left at the very start of a formation lap? If so how did you sort out the issue.

    I'm familiar with the AIW in devmode and have spoken to others but they're not sure if it can be rectified and may need a completely fresh AIW. I've seen nothing online re this issue. Thanks

    I believe there's a parameter which indicates the track is clockwise or counterclockwise. If it's reversed compared to the actual direction, then AI would do that. Either that or the left path was recorded on the wrong side of the track?

    Hockenheim comes into my mind. Made a rolling start with ai and they swapped immediatley.
    In an online race some reported a 5 time cut penalty overshooting the hairpin.
    Maybe code thought they cut inside while it was far outside?

    seen that loads of times :rolleyes:

    sometimes have to remake gridspots or reset special waypoints can sort it out . . .

    also just make sure right path is actually on the right and left path is on left :D
