Why are the AI cars spinning in circles and driving backwards on the track? Also why is it so hard to see over the front of sprint car?
redapg
I would say that the tires of these kind of cars are always created so crazy in behaviour, because rFactor-engine isn't really made fort cars that need to slide on track.
So the AI has a problem. But the modders normally put one class into their mods, where the AI behaves "normal".
Look under the "opponents"-tab and try different classes, but choose always only one class and test then.
And what do you mean with "hard to see over the front of sprint car"?
Do you mean the hood(tv-cockpit)-view?

The view from cockpit is very low and when you step on the gas you can't see the track in front of you. It is hard to find the corner when you cant see the track.

Do you have a little knowledge of rFactor structure and files?
You can change the view in the, to the car related, *.cam file.
Depending on the view that you use, you have to modify these lines:
For XYZ: PositionOffset=
For angle of view: OrientationOffset=
But i would suggest to only change the Position Offset, that should give you the wanted result.
The 3 values in the brackets are giving the XZY Position (Attention!! it is NOT XYZ)
It is: Left-Right, Up-Down, Back-Forward

Where is the opponents tab to change AI classes?
redapg
When you choose "Control/Race weekend" and are on the screen where you can choose the track, there are 3 tabs on top of the field with the tracks, the 3rd is the opponents tab.

Is the "vehicle filters" the one that changes the AI settings?
TJT24
I can't figure out what is wrong with AI vehicles and have tried everything I can think of. The late models and Boz sprint AI's spin circles and go all over the track on one wheel. Any clue to what I can change so I can race against the computer?
redapg
Can you post a downloadlink of the version you are using?
When i have the mod here on my machine, it is much easier to look if there is an "easy" solution.

For the first I downloaded Boz sprint mod and the second I think was DLM 2.

It seems as if none of them has a good working AI. And to create one, would be a lot of work to do.
But i think it will be hard anyway to find such a mod with realistic working AI, because, like i said before, rFactor is not programmed for cars like this. The sliding is not supported.
But when i remember right, the Powri Midgets mod has an acceptable AI (but think at, you have to choose the AI class as opponents!!).
You can Download it here: SPR POWRi National Midgets 2013 2.00

Those sprints were made mostly for online racing. As for looking out thru the car......use the seat adjusting buttons. you can go up/down......front/back............PLUS,......in a real sprint car, you don't see too much from the drivers seat. This mod is probably the best sprintcar mod out there,....IMO

ai grip multilpier in the tbc file is to low, slowly increase until ai stop spinning.

Thanks for the hint Mangoletsi, but i don't drive these kind of cars, i just wanted to help TJT24.
And are you sure that this is the only reason for the strange behaviour?
If yes, tell TJT24 how to change it.

Yes, the AIGripMult=1.07 values are to low in the TBC tyre file, if you change all the values to 2.07, you will see an immediate change in AI behaviour. The value 2.07 is obviously not the correct value, as it will take a lot of testing time to find the correct values for each tyre.
TJT24
Is the TBC file in settings?
Mangoletsi
No, it is the tyre.tbc file in the GameData/Vehicles/Boz something/Boz somthing.tbc file. (I didn't install it on this pc I'm using right now).
Warning, if you modify this file, you will get mismatches when racing online.
