Real Pursuit AI 1.3

(3 reviews)

made with ai

🚔 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.

I don't know if it's the mod or not. I'm not a programmer - But, I can tell you that after I installed the mod - the behavior of the other cars became very bad to where during a pursuit other cars not involved with the pursuit would cut me off badly and consistently and cause me to "T-Bone" them, and other vehicles on the opposite side were driving in reverse.

Since removing this mod, the problem went away... So, not sure. Maybe its conflicting with another mod.

I will check this out again but I haven't had any issues. But my GTA is heavily modded if yours is it might be conflicting with another mod. Hope this helps :)

It would be great if you added a feature where pursuit vehicles have a chance to become disabled when they are spun out by a police vehicle.

Yes I have tested it and I have had a few hiccups that I’m sorting out but other than it is pretty much works very well

IRL, a properly executed PIT ends a pursuit about 90% of the time, so it’d be awesome to see that level of effectiveness reflected in future updates. The vanilla PIT in LSPDFR is honestly pretty unrealistic right now. Really looking forward to trying out this mod — thanks for sharing it with the community.

This will be updated regularly to get PIT to be as realistic as can be :)

Maybe add option you can take lead in a chase and the ai will drop back and let you take lead. Then if you drop back the ai will automatically take lead again

I think this is a base LSPDFR feature, although I'm not entirely sure how well it works lol.

It is a feature. The vanilla isn’t realistic. There cars would be smashed up to pieces before the pursuing car isn’t no longer workable

Hence why I installed your mod, because every pursuit ended up with half the fleet being totaled LOL.

I really love the concept of the mod and I hope it works great for y'all. However when I'm in a pursuit the suspects driving is super realistic and fun to pursue, but the Police AI is maybe slightly better but still crashing a lot. Is there something I'm missing?

Not currently. I will update this in the future to be compatible. But at the moment this isn't possible

Just features. Minor bug fixes and compatibility updates will still be in circulation. I wanna focus on my new project. When the hard part is over I’ll update this again 🙂

I see that you said it works well with LSPDFR, does it also work with LSPDFR Enhanced version? I’m new to all this so I apologize if it’s a dumb question.
