isiMotor2

"After years of independent development by ISI, a new game engine, isiMotor2, was ready for use and was licensed to SimBin Studios for their upcoming title FIA GT Racing Game: GTR. SimBin had come into being by creating and releasing a free, unlicensed FIA GT mod for F1 Challenge – for more info, see this YouTube video by GPLaps. They were now developing a licensed game of their own after purchasing a license for the right to use isiMotor2 from ISI. This was the first of many sim racing titles built on isiMotor2. Over time, a number of different developers would license isiMotor2 for use in their games." -isiMotor2 Community AI Documentation

ISIMOTOR AI is divided into a lot of files, with values spread everywhere so maybe if you want to do something, maybe only one value won`t help you, so in this documentation, its going to be divided into different sections with each file. Also, I am going to try to cover all variables that are general in isimotor2 games, but some variables are exclusive to X games, so for that, I divided into some names: SB: all Simbin Games RF1: Rfactor 1 AMS: Automobilista F1C: F1 Challenge 99-02 [1]
