Which are the best sims of all time with respect to A.I.? Not necessarily the most robotically perfect and challenging A.I. opponents, but which game has opponents that make the most humanlike errors, and vary their driving lines from one lap to the next, at least a bit. Which sims would you have the toughest time telling whether you were racing against a group of humans online or a group of A.I. opponents ?
IMO - NASCAR Heat has the best AI, especaily with the CTS addon. I think Papy has the robotic AI. I'm just not to sure they are perfect. :) Another thing I would love to more games pick up on is the difffernt settings between speed and aggression like the EA F1 games have. That way if you are not that fast you can still get a good race. MadDAWG

Monster Truck Madness 1. No AI ever came closer to what you see on Sierra.com ;-) Achim "Olly Greenfield" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:zi1p8.349$[email hidden]... > Which are the best sims of all time with respect to A.I.?

Although I haven't spent a lot of time with it... the AI in FIA GT Mod for F12001 is pretty good at Monza, T1 :) Controlled mayhem. The rest of AI behavoir seems reasonable (but again I need more time with it). Dale.

I mean, 3-wide at Bristol with cars driving less than a foot from each other from the front to the back of the field? Plus, they *never* wreck unless you are involved somehow. Jason

True, but then, there's only a handful of them :) Get the numbers up and I wonder what it'd be like. -John "jason moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > "Ryan" <[email hidden]> wrote in messagenews:<ZB3p8.157$[email hidden]>...

AAMOF, you're right. MTM1's AI wasn't that bad ;-) Achim "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Better watch out TRI will probably sue you for slander after a flame job > like that. :) > MadDAWG > >

Ah, thanks. Didn't know of this hack. -John "jah_warrior86" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
