I'm only playing the demo, but I was wondering, are the bots on the full S2 game as crazy as on the demo? On the demo, they take no consideration to you being on the road and simply ram into you, 90% of the time causing you to spin off the road. It's exactly the same as online in the demo. Full of people ramming you off the road instead of racing you!

The AI have not been programmed completely, that is why LFS is a multiplayer based game because it has poor AI.

Its something to look forward to for S2 final.

The AI are currently one of the biggest problems with LFS (IMO), although the AI can be trained up to be more considerate and quicker than standard.

It goes without saying, stick to racing in multiplayer! :)

Yes, the AI needs some serious work, it's basically the same as it was in S1. If I understood correctly, it's one of the things Scawen is going to work on next after releasing patch X. At least that's what I remember reading.

But if you race them a lot, or let them race eachother they will improve quite a bit. Well, at least in terms of speed.

One thing the AI is good for, is teaching you that there are other people on the track. They won't move for you, but generally neither will players.

So they teach you to go around people on corners when you need to :)

You have a link to prove that, or is it just rumour-causing speculation? Because we don't need any more of that.

As far as I can remember, we've been told about a graphic update for SO, but no specifics on a redesign or just retexturing (or even a date/patch estimate). And there has been nothing said about AI, since there's no point fixing that until the tracks, cars and physics are all in a near final state.

Scawen in AI in patch W35 thread:

Next thing on the list after patch X is to sort out the AI drivers. Although that's not what everyone cares about, there are a lot of people who do use single player.
