How many other games offer a guest account? What you are basically saying is that LFS should be buy one, get one free.

CS:S does, however it's quite hard to "wreck" someones Terrorist plot, but easy to ruin a race.

thats why they imply rules into servers if a s2 user has his s2 licence on the line im shure the s2 owner would choose carefuly on who he alowes to try the s2 for a trial

Uhh.......

'these demo users are obviously missing something....


I played the demo for one week.....

... the next week I had S2......

... The week after I was still up 24 hours a day 4 days a week without sleep!'

WeellllL!

Now Im addicted to LFS, Coffee, and Ciggarretes.... all at the same time.....

I bought S2 as soon as it came out, but I think having been playing the demo at the point when all the S1 racers were made it a much cleaner and more enjoyable experience. The demo servers must now be pretty dire if people are wanting AI to race against, LFS is all about the online racing that's what it does so much better than any other sim and there is really no alternative to racing other human beings.

I noticed this racing the FOX the other day it suddenly occured to me that LFS seemed so much more realistic because the cars I was following didn't just drive in a train and darted around the track because they were driven by humans not some AI, the ISI AI is only a bit better than LFS and not worth bothering with except to have some traffic on the track to drive around. The N2003 AI is the best for any sim but even that is just based on the cars trying to take the ideal line and then having various other lines that they take in different situations, it's still a bit automatic.

Yes. but....

ISI's AI are programmed to make 'prescripted mistakes' and arent really that adaptable!

I think the reason I want to see Finished Learning AI 'that actually work right' is for thee pure reason of offline practice.

The big problem I rate with the LFS AI at the moment is....
> They dont give a *&*% about you
> They arent aware of their sarroundings at all!
> They dont know what yellow flag means
> They dont even know what a blue flag is
> They make less than a half hearted attempt to actually avoid contact with the car infront!
> They never heard of pitlanes!
> They press the 'magic-car-fix-button' in the middle of heavy traffic, or stop to reset even if they cannot reset (supposed accident avoidence that creates more accidents unintentionally)!
> At high steering lock setting LFS AI in 'wobble' down long straights (especially BF1/FO8) and spin often as a result (AI in faster cars nead a more refined or finer/smoother steering)

All sims regardless of Online or offline, should have AI that work!

AI is also good for a server with only 2 (or minimal) people on, because they could just add ai cars to fill up the grid, while still racing online against humans! Just not with the ones we have now
