Not sure how aware everyone is on this subject because I haven't seen to many posts on it but I just got through running a race at Rockingham and am very dissapointed in the "improved AI".The AI is very close to the buggy version in NR99,cars coming to a dead stop at the green flag,slowing down from 70 mph to 10 in a split second and causing you to run in the back of them.The other one that was disappoining was the race I just finished at Dega,where I was well in the back,almost a lap down and the caution comes out.I'm happy,I get my lap back and will be able to improve a bunch of positions.All I gotta do is make a stop real quick for tires and fuel.But I catch the next car in line and they are running the speed of the caution but never caught up to the end of the lead lap:(By the time I can make it to my pit the lead cars are far gone and back on the track.I exit the pit and am running at close to 170mph for a good half a lap until we finally catch them at the green flag?Jeez I could have picked up a few positions in the pits but this bug ruined that idea.So any chance that we can get the AI addressed at these tracks and I'm sure others to follow?I really enjoyed N3 until this deal,the improvements really make the game that much better but these things just kill the game.Any ideas?

Not sure this is really a bug. I race Legends cars. There have been times when I've started in the back of a 24+ car field. When we approach turn 3 prior to the green a yo-yo effect takes place. Cars up front slow gradually and guys in the back are speeding up to catch the pack. There have been times when I've come to a rolling stop right before the green comes out. Next time you go to a race, watch the guys on the tail end of the pack. It can be pandemonium back there. Usually, when you see a race on TV they only show the first 1/3 of the pack at the start. Try to watch the tail end of the group. This weekend ought to be a good example since the Cup boys are at Martinsville. Otis Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
