N2003: Question about the adaptive AI

By "adaptive" does it mean the kind of AI that simply gets faster as you get faster or does it mean that the AI learns from your driving style and adapts itself to avoid wrecking you? The first kind I find annoying but the second kind is what I've hoped for in a NASCAR type sim. So is it the first or second type (or somewhere in between) ? David

You go faster they go faster, you go slower they go slower. I was running The Rock last night and on the last lap they came roaring up and ran me over. Up to that point I was out on a Sunday drive. I'm only using the adaptive AI to build up my % on the auto AI setting before starting my season. It seems that if you run the adaptive AI you will get bigger increases than when you don't. I love the auto AI percentage, but I just wish it started out higher than 70% makes for some boring races until you get it built up. MadDAWG

Try changing StrengthAI=70 in the player.ini file in the [single race] section. "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I found in the playerec.ini were it keeps it after you have ran a race but they are all blank until then. MadDAWG

I think it's just a speed thing.

Also if you run a standard race or season with the old fashion AI percent set, you will still build up the auto AI setting. I was trying it just using auto AI but it took 3 or 4 races before you could race them without running them over. Now I'm running a 10% season with the AI set to 95% just to build it up quicker. Cool feature, almost as cool as the Pit Stop Frequency thing (for those of us who are time challenged). -- Rick Miller Driver of the #8 US Army Ford Mustang at Trail-way Speedway, Hanover, PA (4cyl Lightning class) "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > You go faster they go faster, you go slower they go slower.

Yep I'm really looking forward to getting into a good offline season 40% length with 3x wear should be a blast. MadDAWG

I still only have the demo but I noticed if you set the AI strength manually, say to 95% and finished a race well, the auto setting went up by a lot too. So it really only takes a couple of well run races with the manual setting to raise it. I was really looking forward to the adaptive AI but one thing I find totally ludicrous is if you spin out or crash, the adaptive AI will slow the other cars down so much you can basically catch right up within one lap. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "There would be a lot more civility in this world if people didn't take that as an invitation to walk all over you" - (Calvin and Hobbes) email: [email hidden]
