The thing i am waiting for in AI's is variation and improvisation..
Now they all just do exactly the same, at the same spot, speed and time...
I remember good ol Grand Prix (1) from Microprose, they had a basic AI setting, then added variation to that for every driver... this makes for a lot more interesting AI races..
Would be nice if LFS gained some randomness....things like:
Talent (Set when you create new AI)
% chance of driver errors
% chance of vehicle breakdowns (though these won't really happen in for example 5 lap races)
I could probably sit here for hours and type in many other random things i'd like to see added, but i think you get my drift..
Let's first get some variation in the different AI drivers, then work on their speed...
I would love to just be able to have the ai start a race and actually enjoy watching it... instead of falling half asleep after 5 laps..
The reason they're slow has more to do with confidence they have in the car's grip it seems by the way...
