0x8B - Track Markings Type B (Track Section Command)

This command draws various types of track markings onto the track, e.g. part of the starting grid and part of the pit lane markers.

It is sometimes used in conjunction with 0x8A - Track Markings Type A, but it still not clear what the difference between the two commands is.

Examples

The starting grid in Hungary - like most other starting grids - is defined using 0x8A and 0x8B commands as follows:

Cmd Arg0 Arg1 Arg2 Arg3 Arg4 Arg5 Comment
0x8A 3 8968 13 -768 0 513 13 markings, which is half of the full grid of 26
Left side, since Arg3 moves the markings in a negative direction
Pole side, since the markings start at 3 (Arg0, compared to 1 for the other side)
0x8B 1 9480 13 768 0 513 13 markings, which is half of the full grid of 26
Right side, since Arg3 moves the markings in a positive direction
Non-pole side, since the markings start at 1 (Arg0, compared to 3 for the pole side)
0x8B 42 8456 1 0 0 257 Starting line, since there is only 1 occurrence (Arg0) with no sideways offset (Arg3), and it starts a long from the start of the section (42 TLU units, the section length is 43)
