    For a simple AI script this has to be my favorite, specially when you use two vehicles of equal speed and pull a pit maneuver on the other vehicle.

    Bravo, my friend, bravo.

    Just accelerate and switch the vehicle and voila, no need to download and install something.

    seriously? you dont need a mod for this, just spawn a car, accelerator, and switch vehicles while still holding down the accleration, and BOOM, you have the car going straight :/

    This is much easier than that, you have to switch and hit the accelerator every time you spawn the car, with this just spawn/reset and done.
    Plus with the mod installer installation is a snap, so I'm not sure why everyone is complaining.

    Don't flame people's processes, everyone does things differently, it doesn't make for a good community to have everyone arguing and making fun of people, I've been seeing that too much in the forums lately...

    This is for someone looking to set up a stunt, usually with multiple vehicles, it can be difficult to have multiple cars reach different areas at a precise time when you are switching between cars and starting them at different times.

    With this you can measure distances and be more accurate.

    Glad it's working for you loanstar :)

    Not lazy, just easier. Besides, like Pine said, it's also extremely useful for setting up stunts or collisions with multiple cars. If you came in here just to flame people about a small and simple but very helpful AI script that works as advertised then wow, just wow. :l

    This is exactly what else I started using it for and it makes for some very nice slow mo stunts and some really weird wrecks. Thanks, Pinecones and sorry about the ignorant people overlooking the possibilities of a script like this. I also have to agree about the whole people making fun of others and arguing thing on the forums, some people just leave the forums because they don't want to deal with it. It's very rude of others to be such dicks.

    Yes, but when using a controller, if the steering stick is tilted just slightly (This happens with many controllers) the car will not travel in a straight line.

    Don't know why that would be, sorry :/

    Great question, but no it's not that smart. Maybe I'll release an update that does feed power on slowly, that would be the easiest fix

    Please don't be retarded guys, It's a mod, that took work, to make something easy.

    He just made a simple mod, To make a new AI mode, rather than praise his work you call him lazy? Shame.

    I personally like this mod, It's pretty cool :) Good work
