I think someone already figure this out. It seems as the AI maps the best route to take a corner it doesn't figure in elevation changes on the track. That's the theory anyways.What is up with GT5 AI exiting the chicane at Nurburgring F/GP in FGT cars? I'd like to see an explanation for that.
My feeling about the AI in this game is to stay away from them as much as possible. This means picking a car that can easily beat them. I certainly don't want to race with them. So if they are meant to be competition, from my viewpoint they are a failure.
Like I said, I don't need you , a video or anybody else to tell me what I know through my own experiences. The AI in GT5 is one of the worst aspects of the game and most other games do it better.
How well the AI can get around a stationary vehicle really isn't terribly relevant. What's important is how well they RACE, can they overtake you cleanly and efficiently if they're faster than you, do they know when to concede when you're in position to avoid an accident, if one car is in the way can they get around cleanly and efficiently without losing much speed, are they able to operate in a pack without losing speed and without causing an accident.
