SpinDizzy's racing line mods

[Alex Reeves]

Hey guys,

Yep, I'm back, and I'm finally playing with the editor....

I've never been convicned the difficulty level on NSGP has been tough enough - one of the things about the AI I've noticed is that the "racing lines" the AI takes are not optimal, thus allowing a skilled driver to not only take advantage of the AI's slightly flawed pit strategy (sadly, this cant' be fixed) but also to have easy overtake points and better lap times generally because the AI's race line is too conservative.

Well, the race line can be fixed....

Please find attached below altered race lines for the NSGP tracks, with an attempt at more optimal race lines. These are as close as I can get to the race lines I use, and in general gain about 1-1.5 seconds a lap on the standard AI. My plan is to release these on the same schedule as the NSGP Online Championship for each track as it comes up (yes, I'm using this for practice....).

Don't care if anyone wants to use these in a track pack/mod/whatever. Don't want credit, although feedback would be nice.

Enjoy!

Sometimes the if there is a bit of congestion on the last corner before going onto the straight on Australia, a COM racer can get stuck in a loop if they go off towards the sand bit.

I've never had it happen before, so may be your new line mod, but its only happened once.

Apart from that, its better because the AI actually seem to race smartly rather than just drive around the track.

Interesting.... never seen that, and tbh I don't remember changing that line a lot... Australia didn't get as much done, as the lines there had already been tweaked a bit.

I've also seen a fair few serious crashes in China at both the S-turns. But, you know what, I like that! The big thing I didn't like about the original lines were that they were too safe - this actually introduces better gameplay because AI driver error will have consequences.

Here ya go - for your extreme racing pleasure. tweaked lines on Spain - I'm pretty proud of this one, got a lot more time out of it than I expected. It's just a pity the AI's so bad at its fuel strategy on this track....
