How to change of tires without refuelling and make the ai do the same thing

Useful for 80s mods:

1. put all the names of the drivers on each gdb file of your mod. put all their pit stop strategies to zero:

 PitStopStrategies
 {
   Lewis Hamilton = 0
   Valtteri Bottas = 0
   Sebastian Vettel = 0
   Charles Leclerc = 0
   Alexander Albon = 0
   Max Verstappen = 0
   Lando Norris = 0
   Carlos Sainz = 0
   Daniel Ricciardo = 0
   Esteban Ocon = 0
   Sergio Perez = 0
   Lance Stroll = 0
   Kimi Raikkonen = 0
   Antonio Giovinazzi = 0
   Romain Grosjean = 0
   Kevin Magnussen = 0
   Nicholas Latifi = 0
   George Russell = 0
   Pierre Gasly = 0
   Daniil Kvyat = 0
 }


2. have this on all your hdv files:

FuelRange=(1.0, 1.0, any number you want)
FuelSetting=equal to third parameter of fuel range
NumPitstopsRange=(0, 0, 4)
NumPitstopsSetting=4
Pitstop1Range=(1.0, 1.0, 0)
Pitstop1Setting=0
Pitstop2Range=(1.0, 1.0, 0)
Pitstop2Setting=0
Pitstop3Range=(1.0, 1.0, 0)
Pitstop3Setting=0

"2. have this on all your gdb files:"

gdb no... it's in each car's hdv file.

Well thanks Alfredo.
I tried that 1st part months ago, with all drivers' pit stop strategies set to 0, but it didn't do any difference.

Haven't tried combining it with the 2nd part, though, so will give it a try! If this works, I just might re-claim some motivation back!
Btw, a few weeks ago I did the specific liveries for 1987 Austria, so it's 10/16 now...

Alfredo, about this 2 lines, are you sure it should be 4, not 0?
NumPitstopsRange=(0, 0, 4)
NumPitstopsSetting=4

yes. these are the values used in cmt 2017-2020 to have pit stops without refuelling (only tire changes)

this discover was made by carlos campos, the leader of Constrictor Modding Team

No, it ain't working for me.

AIs still refueling.

could you send me the mod in private?

i will contact carlos to make it work

or if you want, you can wait for carlos' physics (will be done this year). once i tell you they are done, i will implement them onto your mod

don't worry, cmt won't take advantage of your work if you don't want to

Dunno really, I was really giving it a thought to try and finish this thing if this fix worked, but now I just don't know...

Could be the final nail in the coffin for me and this game, after some 18 years...

ATM I'm seriously lacking motivation to continue with this, or with F1C in general, so let's give it some pause and see what happens.
