Whenever I'm approaching the guy holding the white flag beside the track, it actually looks like a cow....just kinda watching the race.

Personally I have a lot more trouble these guys just don't wave the blue flag for any AI when they ought to, and the AI happily ignore them anyway! Regards, Rudy (GPLRank -7.8)

That's the trouble, the flags in the game only pertain to you. You won't see another driver get the blue flag, even online. I never had any problem with lapping the AI in GPL tho'... did you turn off that automatic AI strenght adjust stuff (don't even remember what file it is in, let alone what it was called)? Jan. =---

I know... was just bitchin' because I still think these AI are blind f'ing zombies! ;) > I never had any problem with lapping the AI in GPL tho'... did you turn off > that automatic AI strenght adjust stuff (don't even remember what file it is > in, let alone what it was called)? Hype. I locked it early on, but allowed some hype later on so the AI race at realistic levels. Once you do 1:29 at Monza it's little use having them still do no better than 1:30 ;) Nevertheless, they don't grow brains as they get faster, and still drive into you like you weren't there in *some* corners. In others, it's no problem - but I still consider AI passing behaviour one of the weakest points of GPL. This should have been patched long ago when 1.2 arrived, imho. Regards, Rudy (GPLRank -7.8)

I guess my Voodoo 3 2000 wasn't that great or I wasn't running high enough resolution.
