REBEL. CHEATING OPPONENTS in NASCAR

9 posts by 7 people · 20 Sep 1995 - 25 Sep 1995

Has anyone experianced these cheating cars in Nascar? Perhaps Mr.Genter knows something about why it was designed this way. I've read the other posts about NASCAR opponents ramming the player after they crashed as if getting revenge. Is this possible? My question though, was were the Nascar cars made to ram the player into the wall? When you're on the inside, passing an opponent (something I always do), they tend to drift towards the wall as if to dodge you. Yet if you're passing on the outside, they seem to get closer and closer until you have a meeting with the wall. Were they designed this way or have I gone MAD????

They're working the groove, I believe, and don't "see you". I hate taking the outside (have been successful with it, but it's a risk) for just that very reason. I wonder if they "see" me...

---->Certain drivers are more aggressive than others. Drivers with higher aggression ratings will be more insistent about defending their position. They don't try to ram you into the wall; they try to protect their line. Protecting their line may *result* in you being rammed into the wall, but that wasn't what they were trying to do.<---- Rick, I appreciate your answer but I believe you guys secretly programmed the AI racers to go after human opponents. ;-) I've been crunched by Terry Labonte on at least 3 occasions on 3 different tracks. In the next version of the game I'd like to request 2 sets of Sidewinder missles just in case Terry really gets on my nerves :-).

You mean an Avenger 20mm, 7-barrel, 40 round per second, chain gun? The back-force would probably launch a stock car to 200 m.p.h. backwards. I'd just get a .50 cal Desert Eagle pistol and shoot out their tires. :) -- ____________________________________________________________________________ Have: Edward Carter | The Red Hot Chili Peppers Rock!!!| '92 Honda Accord Newport Beach, CA, USA | IndyCar Racing Rules!!! | '95 Corvette ZR-1 White Male | Al Unser Jr. Kicks *** | '95 Suburban 454 4X4 ________________________________________________________________________________ Want: "Love Lone" on KROQ in | NASCAR Racing is cool too! | Vector Avtech WX-3 L.A. at 10:00pm RULES!!| Jeff Gordon And Rusty Wallace | Dodge Viper R.R. and D.D. are cool!| RULE!!! | Ferrari F40

Nahhh....i got your weapon.... BFG 9000 Need i say more? matt
BFG 9000? You mean the one from DOOM? Good thinking, that should toast some tires. But you gotta admit, land mines dropped from drop tubes below you car is nice to. Too bad you can't have a spotter plane, give them the coordinates of the leader and have them drop a laser-guided bomb. Now thats nice.

Um, guys, Lets not forget this is a RACING sim, not a tank warfare, blow-the-other-guy-away, combat sim. (although a couple of tomahawk cruise missiles couldn't hurt ;-)
