I fiddled with rFactor a bit today, first racing tractor-trailers around Jacksonville Superspeedway. That wasn’t really as much fun as it might sound, so I figured that with the Edmonton Grand Prix coming up, I’d fool around a bit on there.
I selected the Toyota Atlantic series and loaded up the Edmonton track, but as soon as I started the practice session, it was obvious something was wrong. All of the AI drivers were behaving like complete morons, constantly spinning out, colliding with each other, and hitting the barriers. After putting in a handful of laps, I checked the timing and not a single AI driver had managed to complete a single lap yet.
But it turns out I’d just forgotten the cardinal rule of dealing with mods, and hadn’t restarted the game after switching series. After restarting it, everyone behaved properly, and I tried another practice session with a mixed set of vehicles. I came in second-last, my BMW M3 only a few seconds faster than the lawnmower.
