Well, Hi all,
I'm new on the forum even if i follow it since a long time, but i finally decided to register as this forum is a bit more "serious" than others i know.
Well, so i wanted to tell you about a test race i did on Indianapolis where AI stupefied me.
Red lights shut down and all cars run straight away, I'm in the twelve position about. Then comes the first right corner, I didn't brake (I was testing crashs) and hit some car then follow my way without any control in straight line through grass spinning on myself, throwing road again just front of the nose of a jaguar and hit the rails. Nothing uncommon.
But I wished to look what it looks like to be in a jaguar and to see a car spinning and flying just under your nose.
So i replayed the scene in the jaguar cockpit and i could see this:
The jaguar take the first right corner and don't really saw my hit well behind it. then it comes in the left curve and...slow down and downgrade a gear without seeing nothing...then my car pass trough the road and jaguar accelerate for continuing the race.
Amazing. That means that even on grass, without control and flying and spinning and out of seeing, a car is detected by AI and every car react at this ! Really Impressive !
Maybe a bit too impressive as no real driver could avoid the crash as it happens in some dead zone for the jaguar, but it can give some details on AI quality...
Well, quite a long post for my second one, hope you find it interesting too
