Yeah, tonight was the season opener for their VHR league. I signed up for it; dunno if I'll be able to run the 500 but I figured a weekly fixed setup league might be fun. Tonight went well. This was the margin at the finish: That's what 0.031 seconds looks like  Congrats Chad!

I havent tried VHR since the Simhq Daytona race last year. I know this mod is mostly multi, but has the offline play been improved? I remember AI pathfinding not being able to get on the track at practice etc. Nope. The AI still likes to crash against the pit wall. Maybe in the revised 2012 version. ....naaah, probably not. No, definitely not.  I was in a Facebook group until it was deleted that was started & run by some guys who worked with "corvette dave" on VHR before having a rather nasty split. Some of the talk was very...enlightening. AI was mentioned a couple of times but ultimately it was decided they would ignore it as multiplayer was the priority. As for the rest...all I can say is that I hope someone comes along who knows what they're doing and puts together a quality mod for rF2 without having to "borrow" resources from other modmakers (or try, unsuccessfully, to rip content from iRacing).

rF AI is capable of decent(ish) pathfinding IF it's set up correctly. Chad, do you know if there's a particular issue preventing that from happening or was it just that Dave and the crew never got round to it?

Hard to say. CD put out a call on facebook asking for help with AI but I don't think anything came of it.
BTW, the comedy of errors continues. 2012 update 1.1 came out, the final update ever. It had problems so now there is a 1.2 which also had other problems so it was pulled and re-released and now there is a hint of a 1.3

Well the FFRL Daytona500 was a blast! It turned into a bit of a wreck fest but luckily none of the yellows was down to me. I did lead for a few laps but unfortunately I got caught up in a couple of other peoples wrecks and ended up with enough damage to take me out of the running, for about the last third of the race however I hooked up with Duck and the Redbull car driver and we managed to make up some time. By the end of the race 3 hours and 52 minutes after the start, I finished in 15th place. Well down on where I had hoped for but not to bad considering the damage I sustained (including a flat which I was lucky to get back to the pits with).

Awesome job Stew. Even getting to the end of a a race like that is a result and 15th is great. Good experience too. Well done.
