Figure some N4 talk would be good for ras. :> Just wondering if N4 will follow every previous Papy sim and continue using a fixed set of lp files to govern AI behavior. If so, this will mean that every AI car will continue to follow the exact same line and react in the exact same way to on-track incidents.

nope..it will only use lp files for the pit lane. this is what i think at least since this is how i think it is in gpl

It's not like that at all in gpl. For each track there is a set of lp files that govern how the AI navigate the track. It defines their line that each and every car follows exactly.

The old style just had rough speeds and attitude of car. GPL includes variables for optimum passing points, lane changes, etc. Hopefully they will up the ante some more with N4. % On 01 Aug 2000 16:12:04 GMT, [email hidden] (Ray127611) wrote: % >nope..it will only use lp files for the pit lane. this is what i think at least % >since this is how i think it is in gpl -- **************************** Michael E.

Having spendt hours on hours creating/editing these files - I prey to the man above that they come up with something easier. A single "race-line" argument for each file - would do me nicely :-) Ed_ The GPLEA
