RFACTOR 2 AI MOD

By a fluke I discovered that the AI-cars use very different tyres than the player of the game. In rFactor you can edit that manually, by messing with the player-file. Or: if they brake idiotically early: late braking sliders. Slider: braking style and minimum-brake distance for corners. For example in general in rFactor the AI-cars brake incredibly late, in my eyes exaggerate the slow-in/fast out style so they either give you brake-tests all the time or just torpedo you from behind. I won't get too specific, because the OP does not seem to limit itself to one game, but I can remark: a good racing game should not only have a way to tone down general performance of the AI (so sliders), but also aspects of performance of the AI.ġ.

I had very pleasurable races in the 1979 mod at 95 percent, with some stunning battles that gave me tremendous satisfaction, losing or not.

Well, what I can add is that in rFactor, with some skills and good advice you CAN work on the AI. There are very few that have to be honest, despite that we all still play them. Seriously devs are so lazy, if they spent more time on what matters, physics and realism, and less time on tinsel these games migth actually start doing something right. If you are racing against the same people all the time and keep beating them all the time, why do they still say the same things 'I had a bad start but I'll beat you next time' After being beaten for the 150th time said Lorenzo Marinelli the imaginary Honda NSX driver. you know you have about a second a lap on the leader but then the strangest thing happens, all the guys start driving against you, even your team-mates! This way, so cleverly, the leader managed to pull a bit of a gap as you are engaged in battling with two guys who are more content taking you out than actually running their own race for a good finish.ħ) Sore loser - Cmon devs, we all know you have to be seen to try, but at least make an effort. This guy has eyes in the back of his head, is a total genius at changing lines while in mid corner just as the AI realises you are about to overtake him in a place he wasnt expecting.Ħ) Tortoise and hare - So, you are in 4th place now, your rival (that you had no choice about picking) is leading, and in front are 2 other guys. Then you come up against the blocker, no matter which way you go he blocks you, inside, outside, alongside. All the slow guys are history and it's now time to reign in the leaders. How many times do you play a racing game (not talking about sims here but they do it) and the entire grid, naff cars or not, slow cars or not, manage to somehow pull away from you into the first corner? It's an amazing feat.ĥ) The blocker - So, you've managed to get into about 5th or 6th. NOS is a bummer eh.Ĥ) Holeshot king - Tell me a game anywhere that you have managed to get a holeshot without cheating. There is a guy ahead who is slow on the exit, you get alongside and then he suddenly finds some power from somewhere and outdrags you despite you getting a better exit and being alongside with that extra speed. Especially annoying when you are in a game that penalises cutting.ģ) NoS - Picture the scene: You are at Spa, (starting at the back as usual eh devs) You get a decent start, but as usual they all get better ones (come to that later) and you pass a few on the brakes into La Source. Why is it every single time you do, everyone stays side by side for an entire lap? Making it impossible for you to pass unless you ram them, cut the track or go round the outside. Nice touch devs.Ģ) Queueing - Again you know the detail here, packed grid, you start at the back. Then for the rest of the race the guys behind are less than a second off your tail for the whole race, lap records or not.

Let's do a quick reckon up of the main culprits.ġ) Rubber banding - You know the thing, you start a race last in a developers feeble effort to make life hard for you, and you fly thorough to lead the race after a lap of the 3 being asked of you. It is a common theme in race games too isn't it?

Am currently playing a few differnet race games on various systems like PS3, tablet and PC and was fascinated by an article by a guy tlaking about AI in modern games not progressing as much as things like graphics and sound.
