We need a PC League

Set it up http://www.racedepartment.com/forums/grid-autosport-club-and-leagues.356/

ok ... its a good news...

 

[Philip Heck]

I don't think I'm the right guy to do it

 

[William Levesque]

I had to change my Steam server to UK so I could find races... Had a couple nice ones, but yeah, most are pretty bad.

Even got kicked from a race because I was too fast, LOL

 

[Chris Benham]

Fair enough Chris. Hopefully you'll pick it up at some point and if you do don't forget where we are .

I may do at some point but happy with RacePro still and there's still enough around for multiplayer on that for me.

 

[Scott Tanner]

Oh right, I'm using a wheel and I think once I selected the preset for it an advanced setting menu showed up which allows you to change sensitivity and deadzones etc

In order to fix the issue I resorted to using my wheel

 

[Scott Tanner]

The biggest problem with AI is that they are too oblivious of their surroundings...
you can't outbreak them on the inside because they will stick to their line (/even if you are already a bit ahead) and smash right into you (senna/prost style) :/

This is the issue entirely. The are not programmed with collision avoidance, a problem the shift games had. To make matters worse the mass of the AI is higher than that of the player which means you will always lose out to the AI if the side swipe you or hit your rear wheel on a corner and have to much grip when they mess up so they can be as careless with braking zones or positions as they want to be.

I mostly play on-line with some good people so its not so aggravating for me. What is annoying most about careless AI is that racers behaving as such would never get there racing license behaving that way, so why do they model them as such in Grid games?

They make the effort to have track side commentary like you get at real races, they have put water in the tyre walls as in real life (go smash into one on brands hatch) they put little neat things in to give an experience of track racing, yet they seem to think its OK to program AI like "bad" on-line racers who consideration for other cars is non existent, thus taking away all their added features to create a good racing experience by destroying players hopes and patience levels with stupidly aggressive, bad behaved AI.

Didn't realise Race Pro still had races running tbh. Used to enjoy our little Thursday night series.

I'm not going to commit to anything at the moment. Happy with F1 and classic for now.

Not sure if mean game in general or just the league if game if general my comment would be to buy it. It's a long way from F1 so much in so that various cars are trying to kill me had a go in the Caparo T1 around Turkey and i was like bambi on ice so none of this obscene amount of grip if you push it too far you will end up in a barrier.

(Would work well for F1 2014 game engine lots of power/lack of grip)

Great to have you with us. Since this game is new to all of us, you will not be blown away by anyone, is my guess. I can already whup the **** outta the Champ guy at Indy and I suck at F1.
So welcome aboard and glad to have you.
P.S. - I think your real name has to be your profile name, so I'll sign you up with your real name and then / Coach Kernzy. My best friend and neighbor growing up in Virginia was a guy named Kern.
