GPL realism limit

1 post by 1 person · 16 Nov 1998 - 16 Nov 1998

A couple of questions on GPL which I hope all you more experienced racers out there can help me with. 1. Tire wear. I read in Pappy pre release publicity that the tires were so hard that they only needed to be changed once every three meets. I don't know if that is true, but how much tire wear can we expect during a race? Is it worthwhile setting up the car for tyre conservation? 2. Flatspotting. Is it modeled? (should it be?) 3. I am spending most of my time practicing and on short races. Does the speed of the AI drivers increase as the 'difficulty' is increased ? (ie, as the race length and damage model is increased). 4. AI car setups. Does the AI use only the default car setup? Or does their setup change during practice? I hope the group can answer some of these questions for me. I think that the answers are as follows, but don't know for sure. 1. Tyre wear was important and is modeled. 2. No modeled. 3. AI speed increases. 4. Only default setups used by the AI.
