F1RS: Is the AI really bad???

Nope! Not from what I have seen. They definitely avoid crashes; at least with the unpatched version they do :-) In fact this is about the best AI I have driven against yet. When they are coming up to pass you (and it will happen when you first get the game) just drive off of the driving line and they will not touch you. A marked difference from the french demo I tried. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

For some real fun dont race just watch a rain race at SPA....the AI is good real good. To me the bare fact that F1RS has rain puts it way out ahead of any other F1 sims. Pierre

How do you let the computer cars race each other? I can only find how to watch a demonstration free run of the track (solo). I know it's gotta be simple, but I usually have problems with the real obvious. :) Marc. -------- To replay via e-mail, remove ".spam" from the end my e-mail address (Tyring to avoid junk mail)

I was assuming there was a mode that was for demonstration purposes, allowing you to watch everyone race. I guess it will work, but it aint gonna help me win a race. Who am I kidding? A few laps in and Ive automatically spun out to the side of the track anways :) Marc. -------- To replay via e-mail, remove ".spam" from the end my e-mail address (Tyring to avoid junk mail)

Notice that I was recommending watching a rain race at Spa...hint hint hint.....<VBG>....can you say spin, then I discovered how fun watching races was.... Makes you wonder how arrogant I am to have had this sim for a total of 2 hours and selecting a Rain Race at Spa. On a related note...well not so related...the sense of speed thru Eau Rouge is extremely well done. PAPA DOC Pierre PAPA DOC Legrand Infamous Pink Flamingo Pilot...

Simply start a race, pull over to the side of the track and then use the F3, PageUp and PageDown keys to view all the others. It's good fun! -- Bruce. (At home)

Depends what level you are competing at, Marc. The lowest level is a good starting ground as it gives you a chance to, if not win, then at least score some points, even without fine-tuning the car set-up. "Expert" level is much more difficult to be successful in.....as it should be. The set-ups have to be spot on if you are going to be competitive against the AI. -- Bruce (at work) "Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired." (Jules Renard)
