The AI is really starting to rustle my jimmies. It's costing me races because it doesn't have the foresight to line up onto the checkpoints properly, it has little to no ground avoidance-- it... It can predict anything-- it doesn't try to predict anything. Is there any way to give the AI some form of foresight so it's not so dumb?
I do understand AI is in no way an easy thing to do, but I don't doubt you can fix this.

1) Ground avoidance
2) Prediction
3) Not jiggling like jelly when in flight
In other words, I assume the AI is driven by a short-term goal. Get to the checkpoint or critically damage the player's vehicle are the most common. Add a few passive or preemptive goals like "Avoid damage to vehicle" spurring ground, water and missile avoidance. "Reach checkpoint #x" as another to tell the plane to start lining up a path to the next checkpoint in line with the primary checkpoint.
I'm not the type to scream "I WANT [insert complaint]!!!", I think of ways I could suggest to fix it.
