How good AI cars in Ubi F1RS?

Greeting racers. I'm thinking about to buy or not to buy Ubi F1RS. I have read it's physics is great. but, I more love to race with AI cars than to run hot raps alone. Though, I'd like to know about F1RS's AI car. Are F1RS's AI cars better or lesser than NASCAR2 or GP2? I don't want running obstacles like MS CART PR. Thank you for reply. Yoshihiko Minami

Yoshihiko Minami heeft geschreven in bericht The AI is good, IMO. At different circuits and with different drivers, they react differently. I've been overtakne by Irvine quite agressively, but he's also run me off the track when I tried to overtake him. Also, they don't keep ramming their nose into your car once you've spun and came to a halt on the circuit. They're certainly no obstacle. Alesi is a good rain-driver, as on Monza he had pole yesterday and tore away from the start to victory while it was raining cats. "On 5 August 1944 in the vicinity of St. Sever Calvados, France, witnessed a German Mark V Panther tank knock out three M4 and three M5 tanks during and after being hit by at least fif*** rounds of 75mm APC from a distance of approximately 700 yards. All of these shells had ricochetted, with the exception of a six***th round which finally put the Mark V Panther out of action." Sgt. Thomas P.

Hey Yoshi, whassup? The AI in F1RS is good - just as good as the drivers in GPII if I remember correctly. It's been a while since I've played GPII. The AI is better than the drivers in N2 when you're driving non-ovals. If there is an AI patch for N2 on the twisty courses like Sears Point, then could someone please point me towards it? (pardon the pun.) There are several bugs in the game and I've not installed the latest patch - 1.05 - but if you liked GPII, then you'll probably like F1RS. If you have a voodoo card, then you'll really like it! ;-) I don't know how good the D3D version is. I shall install the new patch and see what's different. Anyway, it's a good game and the AI is good. Later, Buddha

Hello and thank you for your replay, Richard. Here in Japan. Ubi F1RS is just released. so, No one can say about AI cars.Your comment was really encourage me too. I'll buy this sim with grad. Yes. I agree. In Sears Point, AI cars take loose racing line. I just find out AI patchs in "Speed" site. I still not try it. but,it might heaten up you. =) http://www.sim-speed.com/ I don't have confident about this site URL. so If this is worong one. Let's use link of this site. http://207.137.115.162/top_20_nascar_2_sites.htm Yes! I love GP2 too. GP2,ICR2, and NASCAR2 are my propaty! Really thanks. Yoshihiko Minami

Thank you for your detailed reply. I decidet to buy this product. Ubi F1RS will satisfy my expectation. That is sounds quite interesting. I know Formula-1 drivers racing characters by TV or magazine. though, I will be able to enjoy racing with them! Thank you. Yoshihiko MInami

Thanks for the link to Sim Speed, Yoshi. ;-) I've downloaded the AI patches for Watkins Glen, Sears Point and Bull Run and will test them later today. I installed the F1RS 1.05 patch and it didn't kill all the bugs.:-( The menu system still doesn't "remember" some settings and the replays still have no sound. On another subject, I finally bought a used copy of CPR. I like the graphics, the sound is good and the menus are much better than F1RS. However, the most important aspect of a driving game is the ability to control the cars and the control in CPR is very bad compared to F1RS. The second most important aspect of a driving game is the AI and this is very, very bad in F1RS. How can a driving game miss the two most important aspects of racing? Oh well, it's all been said before so I'll just wait for the CPR patch like everyone else. Have fun with F1RS, you won't regret it! Later, Buddha

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you meant to say the AI is very bad in CPR, not in F1RS!? Ken The Game Pad http://gamepad.org/

Oops, my bad.;-) Yes, I did mean to say the AI was bad in CPR, not in F1RS. Happy Holidays, Buddha
