He had mostly bays, a horse would come out without any identifying marks or anything and he knew the horse, how many weeks or months the horse had been in work an out-and-out genius. Tom was so busy he never said good morning to anyone but had the most amazing memory for horses. ''I have wonderful memories of riding at Randwick for Tom,'' she said last week regarding her six-year stint there.
De Gonneville had been the leading lady jockey before they became fashionable, and was allowed to compete against the men. Both ankles have been pinned, nothing to do with racing, and a hip replacement put her out of the saddle. De Gonneville is still training ''two or three for a bit of fun'' at Port Macquarie. Of ''Maggie'' she said: ''It kicks up such a fuss when a stranger comes into the stable it would be impossible for anyone to get near the horses.''Īround that period, nobblers found it easier to get into stables than women.īetty Lane broke the gender barrier, receiving a Randwick trainer's licence, but Margaret De Gonneville was my first sighting of one at headquarters, riding trackwork for Tommy Smith, about 1960. ''He's bodgie.''Īt this stage, a girl in the office seemed less welcome than a tattooed Hell's Angel with dangling bike chains.Īnyway, Powell and ''Maggie'' survived the Sydney visit, basically for information on choosing yearlings from Maurice McCarten, a leading trainer, and hoped to get an owner-trainer's licence in Melbourne. ''I got a double-page spread and Norman Von Nida only got half a page,'' Simons said.įinally Charles pointed to Bill Mordey, later punter, rugby league writer and fight promoter, with disdain. A gentleman, Simons once appeared in The Truth due to a divorce action he wore as a badge of honour. Not so Jim McAuley, a former ballroom-dancing instructor and wrestling referee, but then an all-sport expert prone to airing his many dislikes in language unbecoming, particularly regarding ''Ten Pound Poms''.Ĭharles gesticulated to Vic Simons, who produced 10 races of greyhound form, handwritten, and covered the golf. That should help too.Nearby, Ernie Christensen, a great sporting reporter, was making the typewriter hum like no other before or after. Let me know how this works for you!Įdit: You can also open in the Race/Path Editor to see how I've set it up. I might edit the graph later to make things even more smooth. You can also edit the aggression (risk) and avoidance (avoidCars) variables in the Variables tab. The current flowgraph supports 3 AI racers, but you can add more by copying, pasting, and linking some nodes. You can name your race/path file as and overwrite the old one, or name it whatever you want and edit the File Path node in the flowgraph (at the far left side of the graph view). The position start1 is for the player, and the others are for the AI racers. If you want to use your own saved race/path file, make sure that you have 4 start positions, named: start1, start2, start3, start4. I've included a sample race, so you can press Play, and it will load the included and play the race (it can be a bit glitchy, because I made this flowgraph quickly you might need to press your vehicle reset key if the scenario gets stuck).
FUEL EXTREME RACE EDITOR ADD OTHER VEHICLES RACERS ZIP FILE
zip file into your BeamNG mods/repo folder, load the West Coast USA level, press F11, go to Windows > Gameplay > Flowgraph Editor, and open up. Both methods take time to learn and do, but I've created a graph to help you out! See attached. You can write a lengthy Lua script to use the race file, or you can create a flowgraph and use the Race/Path nodes to setup a race. The Race/Path Editor is very flexible, but also confusing for what to do when you're done. Hopefully, this process will improve in the future. Making AI races in BeamNG is a tricky thing to do.
