Real Pursuit AI 1.3

🚔 ℝ𝔼𝔸𝕃 ℙ𝕌ℝ𝕊𝕌𝕀𝕋 𝔸𝕀

Real Pursuit AI is a police pursuit behaviour enhancement for GTA V, designed to make pursuits feel controlled, believable, and stable — without aggressive, erratic, or chaotic AI driving.

Rather than reinventing pursuits, Real Pursuit AI refines them. The mod focuses entirely on how police units behave once a chase is underway, ensuring it feels like a natural evolution of vanilla behaviour, not a disruptive overhaul. It is built from the ground up to shine during long chases and extended play sessions, while remaining fully compatible with LSPDFR.

🚀 𝕎ℍ𝔸𝕋'𝕊 ℕ𝔼𝕎: 𝕋ℍ𝔼 𝔽𝕆𝕌ℕ𝔻𝔸𝕋𝕀𝕆ℕ 𝕌ℙ𝔻𝔸𝕋𝔼

This update establishes a massive new structural foundation for future expansion while introducing highly requested features:

NEW - Player Lead Mode: Dynamically allows the player to influence pursuit positioning. AI units smoothly adapt to your role in real time with controlled lead reclaim behaviour—designed to feel intentional, not chaotic.
Steadier Pursuits: Reduced rapid decision-switching and oscillation between aggressive and passive states.
Smarter PIT Manoeuvres: Improved alignment validation and new retry cooldowns to prevent unrealistic, repeated PIT attempts.
Smoother Flow: Better close-range spacing, reduced brake overcorrection, and improved pacing between primary and secondary units.

🧠 𝔻𝔼𝕊𝕀𝔾ℕ ℙℍ𝕀𝕃𝕆𝕊𝕆ℙℍ𝕐 & ℂ𝕆ℝ𝔼 𝔽𝔼𝔸𝕋𝕌ℝ𝔼𝕊

Real Pursuit AI prioritises measured, realistic police conduct over spectacle-driven action. Instead of constant ramming or unstable driving, pursuit units maintain spacing, formation, and restraint.

Stability First: No experimental or high-risk behaviour.
Realism Over Spectacle: Grounded police tactics, not arcade chaos.
Consistency Over Aggression: Predictable behaviour that holds up over long patrol sessions.
Clean Integration: Designed to work perfectly alongside LSPDFR.

(Note: These principles mirror the design philosophy of Real Traffic AI, ensuring both mods feel cohesive when used together).

⚙️ 𝕋𝔼ℂℍℕ𝕀ℂ𝔸𝕃 𝔻𝔼𝕋𝔸𝕀𝕃𝕊 & ℕ𝕆𝕋𝔼𝕊

Built specifically for long-session stability.
Focuses exclusively on police pursuit AI behaviour (does not modify civilian traffic logic, wanted levels, police spawning, or dispatch systems).
Lightweight, script-based, and performance-friendly (no configuration file required).
Fully compatible with ScriptHookVDotNet v3.7.0+ and LSPDFR.
Note: Extremely scripted or heavily modified mod setups may still expose edge cases.

What's New in Version 1.3

Released February 26Feb 26

📝 𝕍𝟙.𝟛 ℂℍ𝔸ℕ𝔾𝔼𝕃𝕆𝔾: 𝕋ℍ𝔼 𝔽𝕆𝕌ℕ𝔻𝔸𝕋𝕀𝕆ℕ 𝕌ℙ𝔻𝔸𝕋𝔼

Version 1.3 establishes a massive new structural foundation for future pursuit system expansion, completely overhauling the core architecture while preserving the realism and stability Real Pursuit AI is known for.

✨ ℕ𝔼𝕎 𝔽𝔼𝔸𝕋𝕌ℝ𝔼𝕊

Smart Cornering Logic: AI units now dynamically read the suspect's steering and slip angles. They will anticipate sharp turns and brake early ("slow in, fast out") rather than blindly overshooting corners.
Under-the-Hood Architecture: Complete code rewrite to handle global states cleaner, dramatically improving long-session stability and preventing "zombie" AI units.
Experimental Feature Prep: Built the backend framework for upcoming features like Echelon formations and Ghost Braking (currently disabled by default while in testing).

🧠 ℙ𝕃𝔸𝕐𝔼ℝ 𝕃𝔼𝔸𝔻 𝕄𝕆𝔻𝔼

Dynamic Lead Positioning: A brand-new system that allows the player to seamlessly take point and influence pursuit positioning in real time (Toggle via J).
Intelligent AI Adaptation: Secondary units now smoothly adapt around your vehicle, dropping back when you push forward.
Controlled Reclaim Behaviour: Realistic, smooth transitions when AI units retake the lead.
Anti-Flip-Flopping: Heavily reduced state toggling near activation thresholds so the AI doesn't get confused about who is leading.

Player Lead Mode is designed to feel intentional and cooperative — not aggressive or chaotic.

🚦 ℙ𝕌ℝ𝕊𝕌𝕀𝕋 ℂ𝕆𝕄𝕄𝕀𝕋𝕄𝔼ℕ𝕋 𝕊𝕋𝔸𝔹𝕀𝕃𝕀𝕋𝕐

Steadier AI Decisions: Significantly reduced rapid decision-switching and aggressive/passive oscillation during active pursuits.
Better Close-Range Engagement: Improved AI confidence handling when boxing in or tailing the suspect closely.
Smoother High-Speed Pacing: Better long-distance flow without AI units suddenly slamming on their brakes on straightaways.

Pursuits now feel steadier, more controlled, and vastly more realistic.

🚗 ℙ𝕀𝕋 𝕄𝔸ℕ𝕆𝔼𝕌𝕍ℝ𝔼 ℝ𝔼𝔽𝕀ℕ𝔼𝕄𝔼ℕ𝕋𝕊

Smarter Alignment Validation: AI now heavily calculates distance and side-by-side angles before even attempting a PIT.
New Retry Cooldown: Implemented a strict timer (25 seconds) to prevent unrealistic, arcade-style repeated ramming attempts.
Safer Aborts: Improved stability when AI units realise a PIT is unsafe and need to abort the manoeuvre.

PIT logic remains conservative, calculated, and stability-focused.

⚙️ 𝕊ℙ𝔸ℂ𝕀ℕ𝔾 & 𝔽𝕃𝕆𝕎 ℝ𝔼𝔽𝕀ℕ𝔼𝕄𝔼ℕ𝕋𝕊

Smoother Spacing: Improved close-range spacing to prevent constant rear-ending.
Reduced Brake Overcorrection: AI units no longer brake-check each other heavily in tight formations.
Pacing Balance: Smoother speed matching between the Primary unit and Secondary/Support units.

Long pursuits now maintain consistency without erratic pack behaviour.

🐞 𝔹𝕌𝔾 𝔽𝕀𝕏𝔼𝕊

Fixed rare cases where the pursuit state could persist permanently after the suspect vehicle was deleted or cleaned up.
Fixed the infamous "Infinite Brake" issue where AI cars could get stuck at low speeds.
Resolved edge-case lead-state desynchronisation during rapid distance changes.
Eliminated rare alignment miscalculations during PIT attempt evaluation.
Reduced the likelihood of unintended aggressive acceleration spikes from trailing units.
Improved internal state reset reliability when reloading plugins via the console.

🛡️ 𝕊𝕋𝔸𝔹𝕀𝕃𝕀𝕋𝕐 & ℂ𝕆𝕄ℙ𝔸𝕋𝕀𝔹𝕀𝕃𝕀𝕋𝕐

Maintains our strict stability-first design philosophy.
Zero changes made to vanilla wanted levels, dispatch, or spawning systems.
Fully compatible with ScriptHookVDotNet v3.7.0+.
Fully compatible with LSPDFR.

Sounds promising. If the cops can now also evade traffic like the pursuer, that would be a big step forward. Is this also part of the script?

@Bear82 There is no major feature changes. this release focuses on smoother, more consistent police driving rather than advanced traffic evasion. I will add a lot more to it then what it is now. This is the foundation base if you would like of the script

Real Traffic AI focuses on main base game like traffic speeds and control and better driving. Real Pursuit AI focuses on Pursuits which stop police during pursuits crashing out and just being total asswipes. Hope that helps :)

Also the second part this is a bug on my end that I am fixing on, I am working on a hotfix to fix this. Are you using Real Traffic AI by any chance if you are this is a compatibility issue that has been fixed in V1.7 which isnt public yet but will soon

anyone else having this issue with the new update where you still can't pit any suspect vehicle as its like pitting a brick wall?

This is in the known issues of the description. I am working on an update to bring back PIT maneuvers. I am making it much cleaner and realistic unlike GTA vanilla pit maneuvers

Came here to say that it's having issues with pursuit spacing logic, but then saw the change lot, and its a game changer!! Keep up the good work and thank you for creating this mod!

As our friend said above, you need to give at least more details about what's really happening. All feedback is important to help the author improve the mod. Or maybe the problem is you :). I've been playing with this mod since it was released and I've never had any frustration.
