GPL65, Gem+2 & AI speeds...

Hi all,

Can anyone please tell me how to tweak the AI speed of opponents to achieve
the following...

Tighter fields, as opposed to variations of 5-6 seconds per lap from
front-runners to tail-enders.
AI speeds which _do_ adapt to my improvements, but...
Fastest AI drivers whose best lap times are about consistent with my own
'best' pace.

By the last point, I mean that if my combined (10?) laps average a 1:30 at
any given track, then Clark, Hill et al are putting in 1:29.5's or slower,
instead of being miles out in front.

I've just done a fresh installation of GPL from the 2004 Demo and added
original tracks from the CD, but I did also keep my original player folder
and drop it into the file system. Should I get rid of this and just start
with a new player?

Also, in trying to find answers to the above, I've read that GEM only alters
the AI for the track which you select in the start-up process, and switching
tracks without exiting GPL and changing the track through GEM will give
inconsistent AI speeds. I presume that it follows that I can't run a
Championship with the 'correct' AI at each track without swapping out
through GEM and keeping pencil/paper scores for myself. Any ideas?

Thanks for getting this far, and thanks in advance for any advice,

Regards
Rick.

Hi Rick,

Well, there's AITweaker in general and there's an AI tweaker in GEM
(which you use for the 65 Mod), although I haven't tried that since
there was supposed to be a bug in the original 65Mod version which could
mess up your settings.

As for tighter fields as opposed to every AI going faster/slower in
general, that's a more difficult subject - but I believe there have been
people working at making better AI files for this. Check into RSCnet.org
or GPLMZ (Speedgeezers) and visit the GPL forums for more info.

Thanks Rudy - looking into all of the above now.
