Re: GPL: AI behaviour at Fontana and IMS.

Any idea where I can download it? Thanks, wtonsmann In article <[email hidden]>, Bill Cranston <[email hidden]> wrote: > Just download LpEdit for GPL and you can fix the race.lp file > yourselves.

I experimented with that a bit. Open the track.ini, and set: dlong_speed_adj_coeff = 1.1242 dlong_speed_maximum = 2.3827 I think it makes 'em a bit faster in the corners, and limits their top speed to 193mph. Should improve their laptimes too. Wish I could figure out why only 4 cars will do qualifying laps. -A Bruce Kennewell <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Dear Mr. Noonan and Converter Team, > I have noticed something about the AI behaviour at these two circuits: > > Both circuits are 2.5 miles in length and are almost identical in widthand

YA i only have 3 cars doing laps a BRM and BRA and another BRA

Dear Mr. Noonan and Converter Team, I have noticed something about the AI behaviour at these two circuits: Both circuits are 2.5 miles in length and are almost identical in width and camber on the corners. so one wouldn't expect any difference really in the way the AI behave during a race. Yet the AI at IMS always slow way too early for Turn Three, allowing the human driver to zoom past underneath them. The AI at Fontana don't do this....they start to slow much closer to the corner and it makes the racing so much better. Could this behaviour at IMS be easily fixed, do you think? -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. ---------------------------

I would also like to know if the AI at Mid-Ohio and Sears Point could be fixed? Chris In article <[email hidden]>, "Bruce Kennewell" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Just download LpEdit for GPL and you can fix the race.lp file yourselves. Pretty simple, though time-consuming, process. On Sat, 01 Apr 2000 00:35:38 -0800, Chris Bloom <[email hidden]> wrote:

Thanks Bill. After seeing it, I'm sorry I asked ;-) wtonsmann In article <[email hidden]>, Bill Cranston <[email hidden]> wrote:

Thanks Bill. Where may I obtain the utility and, if *I* use it, is civilisation as we know it in danger of instant and violent destruction?

Thanks Aubrey....I'll give that a try. I also am bewlidered by why the AI don't go out to practise. Is there a party going on in one of the garages that we don't know about, perhaps?! :-) -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Aubrey <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:uYCRM0$m$GA.307@cpmsnbbsa04... > I experimented with that a bit. > > Open the track.ini, and set: > > dlong_speed_adj_coeff = 1.1242 > dlong_speed_maximum = 2.3827 > > I think it makes 'em a bit faster in the corners, and limits their top speed > to 193mph.

http://www.simcyberworld.com/gpl/utilities.html It's not the easiest to use, since you have to manually enter the desired speed for each "frame" of the part of the track being edited. Better would be a utility that converts a replay into a race.lp file.

Ta....your input is much appreciated.
