Three questions to make racing more realistic

[ErikJones43]

Question 1: How do i make it so AI also get penalized, its always aggravating to go to championship mode and be the only one penalized

Question 2: How do I make AI as fast as me? at every track I'm either faster or slower

Question 3: Why doesn't the scoring system on weebly never add all the races? i will select all of the imports and the most recent will always be missing!! ho w am I supposed to know who in and out of the playoffs if its off by one race???

sorry if this is a lot... Any and all answers greatly appreciated

What penalties are the AI not getting?

What penalties are the AI not getting?

Speeding penalties, inside lane penalties, and commitment line penalties.

this Is mostly a problem with inside lane penalties (on restarts) and commitment line penalties... i pass on the inside on a restart and i get a penalty and the AI doesn't, the AI doesn't follow the commitment line and i use the same line and I'm penalized.

Again, this is what happens when you use aftermarket tracks, tracks that have been modified so many times nothing works right off line. Use the default tracks. In my what 18 years of playing this game I have never seen the AI get a penalty. I used the default and PFW's Homestead for off-line every after market track is messed up. Well to call a spade a spade re-edited track because there are very few build from the ground up track makers and calling them track makers is just wrong too, they're track editors.

So my advice to you my friend is stop worrying about the T.S.O. and worry about the racing. Use the default tracks, oh and PWF's Homestead.

You would not (well maybe you would) believe how many tracks I've fixed that had problems with surface, wall, fence, grass, pit road designations that would clearly cause problems. Tons of track.ini issues as well with pit lane start and end numbers.. Many build/edit but don't seem to check their work and make sure that a track actually works. I see some of it on newer updated tracks and even more on older tracks. Sometimes simple things get overlooked and that's expected. I've made a few errors myself, but there are a few guys out here that will send me and email if they find an issue. Then I fix it. Sadly most of the problems with 3rd party tracks never get reported. People just stop using that track and load a different version. I've even emailed someone once and their reply was "Yeah.. I'll get right on fixing that" They didn't care..

As for what he is saying I've seen things even on the original Papyrus tracks where the AI does something and I'm like WTH!!! They occasionally do get away with things that he player would get penalized for. Heck... I've even gotten away with accidentally going over pit lane speed limits and the game ignored it.. Somethings you just have to accept and go on racing.

Don't get penalized -> the problem disappears.

Question 2: How do I make AI as fast as me? at every track I'm either faster or slower

I store the AI_strengths that give me the best experience for each track in an Excel file.

Question 3: Why doesn't the scoring system on weebly never add all the races? i will select all of the imports and the most recent will always be missing!! ho w am I supposed to know who in and out of the playoffs if its off by one race???

Which script exactly? They seem to work as expected for me.

Very helpful. Thanks!

it was just a stupid glitch. I managed to get around it and it works fine now

I just started increasing the Ai Strength and if i see that I'm off pace with the lead cars i just change it.
