Thank you for pointing this out! I don't have Windy so I wasn't aware that the picture didn't make it into the .dat.

Please try the attached version and let me know if this fixes it.

Also please let me know if the track itself looks okay in Windy because I believe it uses a slightly different palette from the DOS version.

Super excited tonight to say I did a 100% race (in my 99 season) with this track and it performed excellent! There were several yellows, NO yellow flag bugs and it was a LOT of fun. I can say for sure, it's one thing being able to say you're fast at this track, and another thing to be able to race nose to nose with other cars when the difficulty is cranked up. Super thankful that everyone was able to complete this project and I'm super proud to be part of it. This is something I've wanted to do for 25 years. Thanks so much for your help checkpoint, & stig. Also thanks Tjerk and Wolf for the site. Thanks Dennis for your AI speed formula, and thanks Pavel for your teaching and knowledge!

@samsepi0l thanks for the report! I'm glad the track works well - a full race is the real test. Thanks again for your work on the AI and track.txt.

I had a chat with Foxman, who did the original trk file.
He was very happy to hear the track was finished and congratulates you with the result.

I had a strange bug when racing at this track. Mauricio Gugelmin was driving behind me though the standings show he should be on P8. I think this wasn't the first time I had this bug at Rio. I don't know if this has anything to do with the ninth pit value in rioval.txt which differs from the tenth value much more than it usually does. At least I didn't have the bug after changing the ninth value from 51000000 to 46000000.
