Is it possible to turn the aggression rating of the cpu drivers down in gpl using the gpl season program ? I can see the attibute within the program and was wondering what sort of level i should change it to and whether it has an effect ? I'm fed up with being rammed at the last corner at monza by surtees and others.

"Surtees really drove like that"?! Well, he's still around today (one of the few remaining from that period) which just makes me think that his driving wasn't THAT aggressive, Tony. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Tony StewartNo20 <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Well surtees really drove like that....

the fact is, you can't be braking where you're supposed to, i know this sounds wrong, but after a while you'll start developing a certain way of braking, and you'll brake LATER than the AI do. Hope this helps "Tony StewartNo20" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Well surtees really drove like that.... And yes therse an agression turnthat

The Ai are relatively slow in gpl until you post a horrifically quick lap, then they will speed up to compete with you. Only tracks I have problems with them is Brands and Snetterton, I can lap faster at Snetterton, but I crash lots still, wheras at Brands I just can't go faster than they do.

I had my first experience of dodgy AI driving at Monza yesterday. Thus far I've mainly been using Training mode, but lately I've tried some races against the AI at various tracks. So there I was hurtling down towards the Parabolica on the last lap of a race with the AI (in second place) and bloody Jack Brabham rams me from behind and shoves me off the road. I was not pleased and certainly wasn't expecting such behaviour from the AI!! Of course he's back on the track in a very short space of time and steals my second place. Meanwhile I'm fumbling around with Shift-R and losing places all the time. Looks like I need to be a little more wary of the AI in future...

The more you practice the later you will start braking as you become more confident, you will then find that you are braking at the same time as the AI and they won't run into the back of you. It's not easy to get to that point but believe me you will get there eventually. What I used to do (and still do if the guy seems to be going quite a bit quicker) when an AI was behind me at a major braking point, was to move off-line to the inside and let the AI go past on the outside. We would normally end up at the corner together and I would be able to defend my position.
