Don't think it'll be a good idea, but whatabout programmable routes, so you could make AI drive on layouts.
Hehe yes, but what I meant that if someone that not are in the DEV`s crew desided to edit the AI, and possible redone the whole thing, then they would need to be great at editing and coding I meant
I don't know if any of you ever played Grand Prix 2. There was an edit program you could download for that, which allowed you complete control of the skills of the AI drivers and cars. The only thing you couldn't change was their agressiveness.

but i think it was like "easy", "normal" and "pro" setting for each driver.. or am i talking about the wrong editor?
It would be a challenge, but great fun to try and develop custom AI 'characters' to plug in to LFS !
First instinct is that it would require something like Scawen developed for the current AI (that 'learns' a line iteratively and 'understands' how to control the car using the same inputs we get... )
combined with some specializations and refinements of the Steering Behaviours developed by Craig Reynolds...
(These allow fairly natural group behaviours using understandable and very efficient code)
Would be interesting trying to set up a set of character variables like aggression, concentration, graceUnderPressure, wrecklesness, stamina etc. that could then be tweaked by editing a text file (or via some dialog widgets)
The downside is that Scawen would have to make public some of the internals of the LFS codebase... even if he was happy to do this, there would be some(dunno how much) work involved in 'sanitizing' the code interface - to stop folks being able to do silly things with it....
Still it would be fun if He just incorporated some sort of high level tweakability into the new AI system something like the character variables suggested above.
