Something I haven't seen mentioned by anyone that I tried a while back
for a hoot.
I reset the AI Relative Strength (one of the lines in the track
files-I'm at work now and can't check to see which one) to 106% to
110%. Actually I let the field qualify at normal strength then reset
the RELS and started a race.
What carnage and mayhem! It's interesting to see how it affects the
physics model, or doesn't affect it, as the case may be. It seems to
increase the AI's grip a little, and power/acceleration a lot. Their
big problem seems to be a loss of judgment about when to brake and/or
get off the throttle. *** is left at most corners-a real racing
line. At Les Combes it's not unusual to see them lift the inside front
tire several inches powering out of the corner. At the 'Ring they'll
launch about 10 feet into the air off that first jump after crossing the
little bridge. At Eau Rouge the whole field can be lost at the start of
a race if you set the RELS too high, with cars launching off the bank on
the left of the track and flying clear over the track. At Monza most of
the field crashed at the start (sorta like VROC sometimes) with at least
4 cars on fire.
This was good for one evening, but I did find my self LOL several
times. And of course I had to reset lap records.
