Hi!
Yesterday I started my first race mostly to check out the AI of
this sim. I raced at Barcelona and had 20 cars in front of me
at the grid. During the run to the first corner the frame rate
was not fluid but still managable to drive. The "drawn ahead"
option of ICR2 would be helpfull nevertheless.
(BTW, this is with FULL details and FULL visibility!)
I had difficulties just to keep up with the other guys but after
2 laps I was closing in on Badoer. I breaked late into a corner
and slipped by while getting a little bump on my right side.
Having passed him I was surprised that he didn't just give up
like the AI in Nascar2. Dropping just a little in speed there
he was again on my back trying to get by. At one time we were side
by side in one of the last corners and I expected some "bonehead
move" by him but after the apex he just dropped back.
After some more incredible passing I can say that the AI is
at least on par with the other proven sims out there and even
better in some aspects (Damn, he passed me, I better give up!).
OTOH, there are funny things happening when they are driving by
themselves. Esp. if faster cars try to lap slower cars the faster
driver very often screws up during the pass and sometimes comes
to a complete stop.
