with tendonitis and an elbow injury for years and have to limit my game playing
to things that aren't going to keep me packed in ice :) It became obvious soon
after getting GPL that there was *no way* I could put in the hours necessary
to catch up with the default AI or you hotlap hotshots...So...I had to choose
to give up *or* enable auto-shift and start using the outstanding AI Tweaker
program. I've run 6 fun seasons this way and wanted to come up with something
new so I made up this game I call, "Worst to First".
1) I use AI Tweaker to set the ability of all cars the same
2) I use AI Tweaker to set the strength of AI cars on each track so they
qualify within 1 second of the best time I've ever run
3) I start a Grand Prix level race with no practice so I always start in
20th and the rest of the field is randomly placed
4) I drive like hell and see how many laps it takes until I get from 20th
to crossing the finish line in 1st. Then I save the replay :)
Of course the big challenge is can I do it in 1 lap? So far I've only done
Monza (2 laps) and Spa (1 lap) and have just started on the Glen. I'm really
not looking forward to moving on to Monaco or the Ring :)
Anyway, I wanted to post this because there may be some people giving up on
GPL 'cause the default AI is way too much for them. Here's another way to
have a blast with GPL!
