Hi,
Been playing single races at Mugello in GP500 - great sim. Has anybody seen
the AI make any mistakes and crash ?
The only accidents I`ve seen are when AI riders leave the pits and are
collected by another Ai bike coming down the straight.
PS does anybody know where u can find setups for this sim ?
Thanks.
Can't say about the full game, but in the demo I've seen the AI make
unassisted mistakes resulting in either runoffs or crashes, as well as a
couple of AI riders taking each other out.
Cheers,
Steve B.

Thanks I`ll have to look more closely for the AI errors.
PS look at the forum on www.GP500.net for good discussion about this sim.
I witnessed a crash from about 100ft when Barros ran wide and took out Aoki
and Roberts. Being involved in and seeing a few real trackside
"conventions" this summer qualifies me to say - GP500 rocks!

I see them make mistakes all the time. Mistakes like
jumping the start. Of course with the stewards choosing
to look the other way each and every time who can blame
them? Indeed I am forced to do the same despite my
Boy Scout upbringing just to remain competitive.
Why you ask? Well because the second most common
mistake I see them make is running into any bike that
happens to be near them. You'll never see one of these
guys check up on the lean angle to avoid contact. Of
course, once again who can blame them since contact
rarely results in a crash (unless it is an extremely violent
incident or bounces you way off line) and they all seem
to be zen masters of riding on non-asphalt surfaces.
Seriously, they do make mistakes. My favorite is the
Alex Barros outbrake everyone including yourself
manuveur. Show one of these guys a wheel and
they might just loose their cool. Very satisfying.
I have also seen AI riders highside with convincing
accuracy. Definitely enhances the suspension of
disbelief when you see one thrown out of the
seat up and over his bike. They also tend to run
wide late in full length races.

Race with full fields and scan the hay bales for carnage
everytime you see a yellow flag.

The universal GP500 setup seems to be soft tires, minimum
rake and trail. Ride like Biaggi (minimal tire spin) and it seems
to work everywhere. Also set your controller up for a short
braking throw (if it is a wheel/pedal unit). At places like Paul
Ricard it is paramount that you get full on the brakes as
quickly as possible. Tap the rear milliseconds before the
front to minimize the abrupt weight transfer to the front
of the bike. Just be careful when on the brakes while leaned
over.
