Generic Does the AI uses different setups ir they run with default?

So yeah,i think i covered the question well in the title I've tried to look here on the forum for an answer but couldnt find it.So,does the AI adjust the setup to the track (like longer gear ratios on tracks with long straights,using softs instead of hard tyres,aero tuning,etc)?

 

I do think ai use different setup if the race is long enough, you will find them using different pit strategy.

I thought of that too.the fact that they race with a fully loaded gas tank instead of the default 30-60 whatever-unit-of-measurement made me belive that they have at least some adjustments in setup.but what about more heavy stuff,like transmission,engine limiter,brake bias,differencials,springs,etc?it feels like im cheating if i race a tuned car against ones running with just a couple of touches

 

AI doesnt pit.

That's exactly what I'm wondering.

 

Really?AI doesnt run out of fuel?i've never made a race bigger than 30 laps,so i didnt know that.they dont run out of fuel?

 

Well, obviously you have to update my friend.

The AI does not pit when racing. Stefano said he would work on it in the future.

Maybe you are refering that they pit in the qualifying session; in that case, that is not pitting. They simply enter in the pits randomly to create a sensation of realism (in reality you are not all the time of the qualifying session racing to get better times, you do a couple of laps and then enter in the pits to get fresh tyres).

Nope. Neither tyres. Like I said to shaqo853, Stefano said he would work on it in the future.

edit: Interesting post of Lord Kunos talking about this:

nope they have the same wear as the player.
They just don't have the logic to consider a tyre change because that involves a lot of knowledge that the AI does not have.. for example, they AI has no idea how much time a pitstop will cost.. 20s? 30s? 40s? The AI doesn't know that.
There is no point at which tyres NEED to be changed, with old tyres you will simply be slower.. so when you change is a function of where in the race you are and when.
Examples:

You have tyres at 96%, but you are in 1st position with 3 laps to go and 20s advantage on the 2nd.. you are loosing 3s per lap.. will you pit? No you won't.
It's not simply a matter of saying if tyres are below this level go and change.. it could easily cost the AI a race.

-----------------------------------------------------------

This really confuses me. Ive played a lot with the AI, and I would swear they dont have tyre wear. There were some races where I was with completely broken tyres and they just keep on making the same times...

 

I put this on live broadcast a while ago. Go to 20mins 0seconds. You can see one of the AI peel off into pit road. At 20m30s I put the track map back on in the HUD and you can see that two of the AI are in the pits. I actually lead the race briefly at one stage because I stay out longer when all the AI have stopped. What the fuel use and tyre use is for the AI I have no idea, but they definitely do pit.

 

You shouldn´t feel like cheating. They don´t even use the same set of physics you do, so their setup is probably not even limiting them the same way it limits you.

 

This is very confusing. In that post lord kunos implies the AI does not pit. I ve raced with the AI up to 15 laps, and I dont think Ive seen them pitting (except when they crash). Then hugo catarino says he has raced up to 30 laps

@Lord Kunos could you clarify this? Does the IA pit? If they pit, What tyres they use and do they change it depending the lengh of the race? Do they have fuel usage?

They do have the same physics although aparently they have more grip (some users found in some ini file they have a grip multiplier depending the car) and tc.

According to what lord kunos said, same wear usage as the player.

 

Those 30 lap races i did was with vintage cars,those tyres last for much longer.the longest i did with modern stuff was 20 laps on Silverstone GP with a Ferrari 458 GT2 against GT3 cars.i didnt need to pit,and i dont think the AI pitted

 

Once I did a endurance race on Nordschleife of 15 laps and some of IA cars pitted in front of me but I do not know if they did it for damages or for any other reason. It was a multiclass LMP1 and GET cars.
Lord Kunos is the only one that is able to answer to this question.
