>here things i saw in GPL :

>1 - sometimes AI drivers make things that its impossible to do !
>  I've pushed a driver and he manage to stay on road, with
>a strange handling :  do AI are subjected to same physics than
>player are ???? I don't think so !

>2 - in the same action AI driver crash in a wall ( Monza ) at
>250 km/h and didn't have any damage !!! AI have stronger car
>than human ????? I think so !

>3 - and last action that have been strange but could be real :
> i 've braked early in straight before parabolica at monza and
>the eagle behind me crash into my car : does it cause by his car :
>eagle have bad brake or by AI who couldn't brake early because
>it not his braking point ??? Well i hope it's the eagle !

>So if point 1 is what i think there's only 1 car wich his physics is
>computed
>so is it 3D computation ( rotation,projection,... ) that take so much
>CPU ???
>If point 2 and 3 is what i think, it's a shame that my car have been
>damaged bu
>not the AI one !!!

>4 - GPL is a great sim, and i enjoy it a lot, but it's a little
>frustrating that AI are favourised !
