What do i edit in driver.ini, to get not so much distance between the best Ai. car and the worst? In a 9 lap race on Spa there are many minutes in difference. Maybe thats realistic, but this is a game. Very good one though :) Knudse

Can someone please enlighten me on these factors? Knudse bump_order = 19 ; bump_order aggression = 1.030000 ; aggression alertness = 1.030000 ; alertness experience = 1.010000 ; experience hype = 1.002000 ; hype qualifying = 1.020000 ; qualifying quickness = 1.050000 ; quickness smoothness = 1.000000 ; smoothness global_hype_scaling = 0.05 ; global_hype_scaling starting_grid_seed = 3.0 ; starting_grid_seed magic_grip = 1.02 ; magic_grip

Nice header :) Andre

Very good one though :) If you want the AI to race at their natural speed the best way to do this is to disable global hype. Global hype is the system whereby the AI race at speeds governed by your own best lap times. This is supposed to give better racing for beginners. To disable global hype edit the gpl_ai.ini file and change the line: npt_override = 0.00 ; set to > 0.0 to override normalized player time to npt_override = 1.00 ; set to > 0.0 to override normalized player time This sets the drivers to race at their "correct" speeds. Setting the number to greater than 1 slows the cars down. Setting the number to less than 1 speeds the cars up. Cheers Phil -- http://www.youpies.co.uk

Knudse see if u can find a utility called aitweak, it should be available on one or 2 of the decent GPL sites. Well any "GOOD" GPL site should have it, but alas i guess some aren't so good +) With Aitweak u can adjust the AI to your hearts content. Md Knudse wrote:

It seems to be, that high values of npt_override not only slow down the AI cars - there will also be more distance between the best AI car and the worst. Is there a simple way to make AI slower without this side effect? I usually have npt_override set to 1.00, but at some tracks this is a bit too much to handle...

Go to allison's web site (Eagle woman) which u can link to from Vroc.net and download the AItweak program, its a great tool. Md Jari Jokinen wrote:
