F1RS Artificial Inteligence?

i'm having stupid car crashes on every track i race.Most of the times i'm ahead of the pack in first place driving om the ideal line,and frequently some stupid A.I. car crashes on my back putting me out of the track ,sometimes with parts broken. I was wondering if A.I. could be proportional to the computer processor power since it seems,maybe due to the number of the calculations involved,that the others cars just cannot 'see' me at all. I have a p166 ,32ram ,monster 3d,so i'm on the botton line for F1RS. The question is ,is anybody with a high-spec machine like P-II 233 or higher experiencing the same stupid crashes? ps:I'm racing on Expert mode but it seems that i'm surrounded of Katayamas

I haven't had this problem at all on a PII-300. Maybe it does have to do with how much CPU is available to the AI cars. Seems feasable... Anyone else have any ideas? Ken The Game Pad http://gamepad.org/

I'm a bad driver myself, but I've never had a car ram me from behind, although I've had many bumped wheels coming out of corners, etc due to my own behaviour*. However, I've rammed cars up the bum a number of times, because I'm close behind and I miss the braking point. Perhaps a similar thing is happening to you: you are braking too early and the CCs can't stop in time. Watch a replay or just follow a CC and see if you're hitting the anchors 50 metres too early, or maybe you're braking too hard and taking a 100kph corner at 50kph due to setup problems? I've got a similar spec machine too. Ken * Actually, I feel the AI is maybe just a bit too soft, yielding corners too easily, but that's another issue. -- #include <disclaim>

I too, have a P166, 32Mb RAM and a 3Dfx card and can only say that the AI in my version is somewhat more intelligent than what you are reporting. -- Bruce. (At home)

That's not the problem.My laptimes are always "new lap record", 2 or 3 secs better than the best A.I.So i think if i was braking to early or with a wrong setup i would not be doing this laptimes on expert mode.

Hi. I have a P150 32edo Diamond Monster 3dfx, I have the exact same problem I can't race F1rs :-(((((( because of the rotten 1st corner lag they keep runing up my rear all the time I realy do think It's because of the lag, I've change the sound but it's still unacceptable it's ok in time attack but with other cars on 1st lap no way Jose.
