I'm getting frustrated i can't Qualify higher then sixth in the Eagle at
Monza.Any help pleeeeeeessssse?
Thanks
Joe.
So.... don't cry out for help and be proud of your six position! My main
goal still is to finish with at least one driver still behind me. This
at least gives me the feeling I'm not totaly slow :-) This is for the
pro short races. With full GP's I'm just very glad to finish. I don't
mind the four or more laps I'm behind. You can even finish in the top
ten with 4L on the race result list. It's amazing how many AI driver
actually retire during a full GP.
Now get back to you wheel and feel good about whatever place you get!
// Johan.

Congratulations! Welcome to the real world where -- contrary
to popular belief -- we can't all be winners :-) Fortunately
we can all be millionaires (according to the spam I keep
getting) so life's not all bad!

Its kinda like the way the AI's make mistakes in GPL, it sounds good on the
box but just wait until an AI punts you off the track.

Do you know how to "sandbag"? That happens when you wait until the other
person is unaware and then you clobber him with a sandbag! I thrashed out a
great F2 Brabham setup for The Glen that I realized was faster than those
rascals in the computer cars were driving. I started a Single Race but instead
of running out and setting the fastest times I could, I just warmed the tires
remaining and hit the track. One recon lap to make sure Ginther was in the pit
and then I took off for one good "keeper" lap followed by a balls-to-the-wall
PB lap and I had the pole by .58 seconds! Since the end-of-qualy flag had
fallen just after I started my banzai lap, the AI was effectively sandbagged
and unable to react. Heh heh. Hulme used the Papy "magic traction" cheat to
beat me off the line and Black Jack got me in Big Bend for second but we left
those Loti as single pixels in our mirrors.

It's called global hype, and you can turn it off in one of the .ini
files.
Not really cheating, but well, the honour of winning goes down a bit.

In fact I find that the AI are about anything from a couple of 10ths to
a whole second off my previous PB, and because I am still improving each
time I return to a circuit then they are not getting any closer. :-)

more correct than another's, because each is
the sole judge of his or her own experience.

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

No wonder i do my best laps early get frustrarted when theres a sudden
increase in the compititions ability and push that little bit to hard.This
is a real ballbreacker of a game?
thanks Joe
From the readme.txt (1.0):
---
npt_override = 0.00 ; set to > 0.0 to override normalized player
time
This is the main one for controlling AI speed. Setting it to 1.0
would make all AI cars run at their baseline time. Below 1.0 causes
faster cars; above 1.0 slower.
---
Note this is in gpl_ai.ini under [magic].
Try setting it to 1.0 or delete your player.sts file somewhere in the
GPL directory (players/YourName/player.sts). This holds somewhat of
the last 10 best times you did on all tracks. The average is a factor
for hyping the AI.
