Make AI controlling disconnected players invisible

Recommended Posts

We've all had it when we are lapping an AI and they stay on the racing line, we go to overtake them in a corner and drive through them, but you lose your bearings and spin/crash. This happens to me a lot and it it really frustating so I feel like a good solution to this is if you closing in on an AI which is a lap down, they should become invisible. If that is not possible,  the least that could be done is that the ghosting AI stay off the racing line when you are lapping them.

Actually read the OP in detail and realized that I wasn't replying to what I thought I was. Yeah it's annoying when you need to drive through a backmarker online because they aren't actually running anymore. There should probably be a reconnection time limit and then the car is completely removed from the race.

Easiest thing to do is take these players permanently out and not replace them with AI. I agree its a pain in the ***. Making them invisible the moment you approach requiers more programming.

Yep, easiest thing is to just make them invisible when you're lapping them.

Its a nice feature that you can jump back in when disconnected but mostly by the time you get back in your race is completely ruined anyway
