this "learning AI" in LFS

something very weird is going on. I swear these guys are tuning their engines. I've tried reinstalling (to get a fresh AI) several times, and after around five races, their cars suddenly get an extra 10 HP (at least). it's not a corner exit or slipstreaming issue either. I'll come out of a corner five meters behind an AI car, with a better speed, catching up to him and eating up the difference, and suddenly he'll just start pulling away. am I making any sense? -- Gunnar #31 SUCKS#015 Tupperware MC#002 DoD#0x1B DoDRT#003 DoD:CT#4,8 Kibo�: 2 to err is human -- to forgive is bovine.

I think you're close. To me they seem to go into the corners deeper before braking and make fewer mistakes coming out. The cars are slower at first, but I think it's just nervous AI drivers afraid to gun it. After a few races they are as fast, but not faster, than my car. They also seem to look out for you a little better as they drive more, as far as side swiping. But they still ram you going into corners no matter how much experience they have. I haven't noticed them pulling away on the straights, though. -- Slot Tweaks & Reviews www.slottweak.com "Gunnar Horrigmo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > something very weird is going on.

when I think about it, my symptoms match up with not being able to give full throttle. does anyone know if I can get a numerical readout on throttle position to see if it's stuck at 97% or somesuch? -- Gunnar #31 SUCKS#015 Tupperware MC#002 DoD#0x1B DoDRT#003 DoD:CT#4,8 Kibo�: 2 FJ�SE!
