Thoughts For 0.5

I think AI is coming but only for some cars and tracks.

 

I think AI is important right now because solo driving -- as nice as it is -- does get a bit boring. If by release of 1.0 in May we have AI + MP + Pit Stops (even if it is just initially stopping to a lollpop man, pausing and waiting for fuel and tyres) I'll be a very happy camper.

 

I've asked Aris about pit stops with just lollipop man and haven't gotten an answer...not a good sign; he usually responds back fairly quickly. Not an issue for me as I will probably be running 10 to 15 lap races on my public server but seems to be a showstopping deal breaker for many. Hopefully we get a nice surprise by V1.0

 

Scoreboards provide excellent intrinsic motivators. People want to be the best, so they spend more time in the sim. The more time people spend in the sim, the more likely they are to find weird behavior. When people find weird behaviors, they like to show it off. When people show weird behavior in the software, tickets get filed. When tickets get filed, improvements are made. Scoreboards lead to improvements

I look forward to a less lonely track, even if the AI is rough.

 

Racing vs AI will improve your skills a lot more i think

*edit* opps i just missed the point of your post... xD

 

The AI seems great to me in those videos, mostly by the fact the whole grid survived the first chicane at Monza without a scratch. (I can't say the same for the Artificial Ignorance of a certain other sim in development...)

 

Only just joined AC but it seems they have better control on the project than ISI on rF2. Personally I'm glad they focus on features iso of more cars and tracks. There is already something to drive for everybodies taste and the modders will soon start to deliver their contributions.

 

Just asking myself...is actually cooling adjustment for engine and brakes implemented? I was searching the forum but couldn`t find information about this important point....

 

I don't know for sure but I think it's not implemented yet.

"per l'update del 17 gennaio l'attenzione sarà focalizzata sugli eventi con l'intelligenza artificiale, valuteremo SE inserire anche nuovi contenuti (sicuramente non riguarderanno modelli Ferrari)"

and for the few not italian people out there
"for the 17 January update the focus will be on events with AI, we will also evaluate IF include new content (not Ferraris for sure)"

 

Sounds good to me^^

I know ppl would like AI to race, put prior to AI to race I would like to have some damage so I don't ram into cars and get the corner and also some basic Aero concepts effects. Like draft and downforce loss when close to other car.

 

yes mechanical damage is important... visual can wait

 

Its already implemented

rubbering in of a track over time would be good.

 

Would be cool if the A.I could learn your braking lines and such over the course of a race. It's an ambitious idea but just putting it out there.

 

Gentlemen, start your engines!
