Yes, the AI are good. Some tracks are better than others, I like Milwaukee best, and Indy least (at Indy they sometimes appear drunk, speeding up and slowing down at strange times). Maybe Dave will do a patch just to tweak them that little bit more? Its a great converter though. One other thing, its nice to drive GPL cars in full sunshine for a change!

Am I correct to assume that the converter is primarily for hot lapping and online racing? There aren't credible AI at the converted tracks, too, are there?

Really? So someone (Dave?!?!?) took the time to program competitive AI at all or most of the tracks as well as doing all the graphics conversions? Wow...if this is true I am ordering my converter today!! Racing good AI at a decent (N3) Indy would be worth the price of the converter alone! Marc.

They don't drive "dumb." On the other hand, I won a novice race against the AI first time out of the box. Pole, fastest lap, and the win. The whole sheebang. It did take a last lap, turn three pass to do it, (Hill beat me at the start and built up a bit of a lead on lap one), but they arn't what you could call tough. (Note, watch T3, the AI overslow there and you're likely to boot one up the bum.) Must be the speed of Indy though, on the other ovals beating them is much tougher. Love those short tracks! They are a bit "dumber" on the "true" ovals though. Watch their lines carefully if you don't want to be collected by them.

I never even saw the AI after the starting grid, won a 7 lap race by 3.5 seconds. Maybe in a longer race you would at least get to over take some lappers.

Yes, they are not without a reasonably high level of intelligence, glad to say. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Marc Collins <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:KAvG4.45059$[email hidden]... > Am I correct to assume that the converter is primarily for hot lapping and > online racing?

Fortunately for me the Milwaukee Mile is my favorite Oval. I almost kept CPR just to drive there. If the AI had been worth a damn I probably would have. Now it's irrelavant, ( and how a relavant got into my pajamas I'll never know), an Eagle flies in Wisconson!

I have to make up for their abstinence in that instance Gary. Its a hard job, but somebody has to do it.

Shouldn't the Milwaukee AI guys be driving drunk? We're talking about beer city...Milwaukee Brewers baseball, home of Miller Brewing...Old Milwaukee the beer that made Milwaukee famous!
