>Hi Chaps,
>I have just completed a race at Phoenix, in one go (no sneaky game saves) and am a little miffed. The race went well, with 20 laps to go I was 1 minute ahead of second place man, so I'm playing it cool. I go for a perfectly normal overtaking manoeuver (?) on a back-marker, who takes me out and smashes one of my wings. A quick trip to the Pits leaves me with a 20 second lead, which I then build back up to 40 seconds, with 10 laps to go. I try to pass another slapper, he cuts me up, I spin, lead now 20 seconds, with 2 laps to go. Now I'm playing it so cool that my monitor starts to ice up. I'm definately on a winner, when suddenly a back-marker screames up behind me, drives straight through me and manages to smash both my wings. I limp home into 4th. AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
>I then had a thought. Some of you Guys are quite clever and have written some excellent F1GP utilities, so how about this one...Make the area of the computer car that can be collided with tiny on all the cars that are 5 places (or more) behind the computer players. This should stop them from being able to take you out when you are lapping them, but won't actually let you drive right through them. What do you think ? I know that GP2 should have better AI so that they should get out of the way, but will it ever actually happen ?
>Just a thought :-)
bit to tight. It would be VERY difficult to totally reprogram their
AI.
I do not know how your 'incidents' occured but one thing to remember
when passing a computer car is that until your front wheels are in
front of the AI's will ignore you and continue on its line (following
the white). So be sure that you are completely in front before going
into the turn because otherwise the WILL follow their line and shunt
you. Since your view is forward it can be tricky to tell exactly where
your opponents car is so go for the safe passes!
