N4 AI.. it's shit

Nascar 4 AI... ok so I plan to play online mostly.. but do any of you lot <actually> do more than 10 laps of racing? I mean come on one-lap wonders are most of ya but I fancy races where you have to pit at least once.. get out and run! ok so you get wreckers which is a problem... but I don't see why we can't run 40% races and shit... be better! anyone got a fix for N4 AI? and also what's the deal on only being able to rev at Tally/Daytona 7000rpm!!! that sucks I used to almost redline the fucker in N3 before shifting!!! someone cure it??? :) <fluffypony>

I assume you think that underage folks dont frequent this forum, but I will try to lend some help to you anyway. You want to run more than 5% or 10% races, find a league. Pick up racing is always going to be a mess, always has been. (Excpet for maybe the Hawaii days) The AI is a known issue, has been since day 2. Check out the forum on Papy.com to see posts regarding AI behavior dating back to February. Daytona and Talladega use restrictor plates and is the reason the rev limiter is cranked down there. If you push the engine too hard there in a longer race (>25%) then you will possibly blow up. I've blown with 5 laps to go in a 30% race there and never even really hit the rev limiter (and no, I didn't have much tape either). This doesn't need a cure, it is realistic, if you dont want realistic, run in Arcade mode. The redline for these tracks is below the marked redline on the gauge in the game, BTW. Hope this helps and watch the language next time, edb fluffypony <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

It is a device which reduces the amount of air which can get into the carburettor, reducing the power of the engine. This, together with a rev limiter means that 7000rpm is the realistic maximum rpm at Talladega and Daytona.

I knew about the restrictor plate but didn't realise that 7000rpm was a limit! I been watching Days of Thunder too much :) Phil Lee wrote:

I have run 100% vs 120% twice and finished the race (once 3 laps down though). I think the AI is a little stupid at times but it also races tough and thats all I'm looking for... ok, sure I would love more realistic AI but .. RB
