Don't worry, lack of ability isn't stopping anyone else getting online :-) I use a mixed field for offline racing. 10 ai with two of each car except the slowest 2. It simulates online racing quite well, because the AI can't drive the LXs very well either ;-) I always select cars in the same order so that AI 1 & 2 always drive the LX6, 3 & 4 always the LX4, 5 & 6 the FX, etc. I'm not sure if the AI learn specific cars as well as specific tracks, but they seem to need all the help they can get at times, so fingers crossed this helps. It certainly makes for a decent racing experience, because the mixed field means there's plenty of scope for overtaking incidents between the AI which keeps cars spread out and the laps more interesting & involving for me.

Every time I attempt to change the cars in the race setup, I keep getting my car instead of the AI's. So I end up changing the car I'm driving and not the AI's car. Is there a special way of doing this? All I do is add an AI car, then select it and go to the garage. Once in the garage, however, it's no longer the AI's car but mine, even if I haven't added my car to the race yet. Enlighten me, please. LFS is a great car sim, but the processes one has to go through to do certain things is rather cumbersome at times. Thanks in advance, Alanb

A rather convoluted process, I must say. Heck, if I had known this before, I could've gotten 600 credits rather easily, since it's easy beating GTIs when you have the faster car. But I did it the hard way, with all cars of the same class. :) Alanb

Excuse my ignorance... but how did you do it? :-) Peter

Now click the "add AI" button and an AI driver will be added to the race using whatever car you selected. Now change your car to another car, add AI, etc, etc. It's a bit tedious, but so is much of life :-) For getting up to 600 points quickly you send all the AI out in the GTi, then change to the fastest car available (the next one up's available from the start) before joining the race. It's cheating, but...er, so is much of life. Andrew McP

Is it cheating, thats how i got all my money lol...? Havn`t tried a mixed grid mind.... will give it a go in a mo.. One thing i don`t know is when you play online does it cache your car skin to there computer...? Cheers "Andrew MacPherson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Or, for more fun, check the box under the miscellansous menu which forces the AI to use the player's setup. Setup a car with something really absurd (my personal favourite is knobby tires with low pressure, soft springs, about a foot of ride height and almost no damping) and save the setup, then join the race. Add the AI cars and they all have this stupid setup. Now go back to the garage and load in a normal setup. You'll easily win, and it's also fun to watch the AI try to cope with their bucking broncos.
