However, i wonder how the adaptive AI works? Will it automatically adapt itself on how well you are doing and constantly change? Sounds like an revolutionary feature to me.
I've not had much luck training it without the AI adaption tool available at the official forums.
Here is a great tutorial by Troch that I used,now in most cases the AI are consistently running with or near my lap times.
Using the Adaptive AI primer/database tool, which is a must & knowing your manual AI level (ex. 102) really helps also. (on a per class & track basis).

This is what ive done and its working...
Make a backup copy of "aiadaptation.xml", rename it.. And then delete "aiadaptation"
Fire up R3E
Go into R3E Single player->Single event
Choose car, track and 29 opponents
select your difficulty*** (this example 102)
no tire wear, no fuel use, no practive no qualiy, standing start, no penalties, no flags, no pit stops
11 Laps (The tool on registers the last 10 laps of the race)
Grid position 30
- Let the pack go at the start. 1st lap wont register anyways. Drive and put in your best time. if you can do it on lap 2 great. If not get a good "best lap" in.
- After you cross finsih line with your best lap. the whole pack of cars should still be infront of you.
- hit ESC and end the race. (i dont quit the race, just end it to the results screen)
- back out to the main menu
- shut down R3E
- run the Adaptive AI primer/database tool (note: you might want to start with a new and clean AI file (aiadaptation.xml) before you start using the Adaptive AI primer/database tool. IDK if you been using this tool already or not.
EDIT
- check to see if an entry is pressent. You should see the car class (of the car you have chosen) and your best lap time. There will not be any time listed for AI yet, as you only have one "data point" right now. (At this time i did not select anything, just checked to see if the tool is working)
/EDIT
- exit the Adaptive AI primer/database tool
- Fire up R3E
- go back to single player->single event
EDIT
- ONLY change AI difficulity by +5 or -5. (using our example, earlier we chose 102 AI. We will now select 107 AI in R3E)
/EDIT
- Drive another race (same car, track, laps, ect) finsh and exit the race same way as above.
EDIT
- Run the Adaptive AI primer/database tool, see if entires been made. You should now be able to see AI lap times. This is because we ran two races "data points" one at AI 102 and the other at AI 107.
- Select the AI #/level/time closest to your best lap time (or maybe try 3 levels less, I have). And then hit "Apply selected modification".
-Thats it, your done!
/EDIT
- the more times you do this (race, change AI by +/- 5, race, change AI, ect) the more "data points" the Adapative AI program will have. And in turn you will have better results in traing the AI
- All the tool does is speeds up the learning curve for the AI database by only racing 1-3 laps to gather info. instead of you doing multiple 15 minute races for the same amount of data.
