Why no AI adjustment in GPL?

I know you can adjust this in ini files, but why didn't Papyrus just put in a percentage slider like in Nascar? I am racing on Novice and the AI is turning near track record laps. It will be a while before I can be competitive at the rate I am going, on the easiest tracks I am still 3-5 seconds behind per lap. I am having a blast hot lapping, but it would be even better to actually compete with the AI cars. Also, is there a way to select which drivers you get to compete against? I think I would have better luck racing against some of the lesser known drivers. I really don't want to muck around in files to do this. These two things seem to me like they should have been very easy to implement in the user interface. Kyle

You will have to go to the drivers.ini (think that's what it's called) and adjust the bump values to get some of the slower cars/drivers into a race.

Kyle, You are entirely right. I assume you found the .ini fix to slow 'em down somewhat at Alison's site? The sim itself is so near perfect, the only thing I would change would be an AI slider like in N2. That's it, other than that, I certainly have no complaints. I would however like to see the other cars once in a great while <ggg.> I am getting my pants whipped, and I always thought I was at least a reasonable driver, maybe not world class, but good enough to at least hang in the back of the pack. Lots of guys have mentioned the speed disparity, and I suspect that Papy may address this issue, the sim is so darn good, there's not much else they need to patch. For that matter, it's not even a patch, they could just call it the "Wimpy Driver Slider Settings" <ggg.> All the best, Mike -- Michael S.
