Hello, I'm a newbie demo racer, soon to be S2 racer, who has just gone through all the demo training sessions and enjoyed himself thoroughly. I see there's lots more training sessions in the full game, but that's good because I need it!
Anyway, my question is about AI training. As I understand it, the AI -- which generally sucks -- can learn to race faster. Does the "knowledge" the AI learns carry over into the next time you start up the game, or does it only hold during that session? In other words, does the AI have long-term memory or just short-term memory?
Assuming the AI has long-term memory, is it possible to share this memory with other racers? I assume it gets saved to some file. Maybe some smart and dedicated racer has spent hours and hours training his AI to the best possible level, and if he shared the relevant files with everyone, then the rest of us could have immediate access to the best AI. Or maybe racers would develop different styles of AI, suitable for different tracks, and we could pick and choose those we liked.
