0.7 Update - Official thread

Here is a little video i did of a 3 lap race with 24 ai in gt cars. Seems to look a bit nicer and was performing great. It has all the external cam options maxed out except cube res medium and no motion blur.



Shows how the AI behave so still plenty of work to do there but was great fun. Its at 100% AI and was may first race in that combination so they surely arent the quickest too

 

Single player: Papyrus Nascar 2003. I used to need a shower after a race in the middle of the AI pack. Regarding adrenaline, that sim beat any other racing sim I have ever done, tried, tested.

 

Few laps with AI I like it so much, especially this car

 

I jave yet to drive against any AI that is truely a challenge. AC AI looks promising but main reason i like ai is its hard to get a full field of real drivers with the worst human being better then the worst AI. At tracks like nurburgring in most online races t1 has always been a mess. The AI can be fixed but online as a general rule the driving standards in most cases will be worse then even the current fairly crude AI. I love all the guys praising RF2 physics then you race them online and less then a 3rd of the field can complete 5 laps lol. Its not only there though quite common with general multi drivers, sure a league race will be better and so is iracing but for a casual pick up and play at any time AI is more limely to be around and give more of a race then any public pickup race for me. Thats why i like both options and am not an online online racer because small fields and uncompetitive fields are as boring as hotlapping for me.

 

Nooooooooooo, please not. The driver should have the possibility to select the gear befor the lights went on.

With a full grid, you can`t see the start lights in the whole grid. The last cars have their grid position (on some tracks) behind a turn...But anyway, in real they couldn`t see it too. So please give us the real lights instead of the christmas stars^^

//Edit:

for the record: i drove today more than 4 hours, i`m tired and happy^^

 

Yeah, the Nurb is fantastic, but the AI is ghastly, both in terms of performance (the 1FPS bug at the start when everyone is stuck in the first corner) and behaviour. Was hoping for an update today, but will have to settle for tormenting Imola and Mugello instead.....

 

Sorry :/ had to edit the video (first one stuttered a lot)
Still considering AI is in early stage it's good ;o) Just imagine a MP race with pit stops etc. Can't wait but I'm patient of course as well

 

I'm starting to agree with this. Doesn't modern F1 (now that we have a semi-modern F1 car) start in first and use a hand operated clutch? It could be a good sim feature for us with G27s, other foot clutch wheels and custom hardware users.

Those Lotus T125 (Standard and Stage 1) cars are really hard to get off of the line without that, but it would make it really cool. Apply brakes slightly. Engage first using paddle with the clutch pedal pushed in. Release clutch, preferably after lights out with gas applied somewhere. Modulate throttle as needed.

A side note, those AI bots are still brutal. Of course, this is with a new set of cars and track, but just noting it.

 

Man up.

Full throttle, select first as the lights go green, do a few donuts, then splutter off the line so you can catch up as the AI has a pile up at Turn 1.

 

The turn 1 mess is the only thing that saves me in 125 S1. That car is hard to make go fast off the line vs AI. I kill them off the line in the Tatuus FAB; not so with these animals. I would like to see a clutch requirement with full on false start penalties option though (drive thru, or something).

I think there can be a modest roll off of the line before the lights w/o getting a penaly, but some kind of penalty assesed later perhaps to not screw up people behind.

 

its busy on the Nurburgring tonight

 

Okay, I'll kinda give you that. The Papyrus NASCAR series AI was very, very good indeed. Used to love NASCAR Legends myself, and I really wish someone would revisit that era in a current generation sim. That said, it's a much, much easier deal to code for, and oval racing in general is a lot more sweaty palms than road IMHO - there's always someone/somecode in your face/on your ***, and the influence of setup on the car's performance over a run means "if you're quicker and past, that's job done" doesn't apply.

Road AIs, honestly, I really don't like. They don't make the same mistakes humans make. Oval AIs, on the other hand, can get away with simply being slower on more or less the same line as that's pretty much the difference between human drivers.

 

Painting it orange by the looks of it. Go Netherlands, it would seem.

 

yeah Dutchies are going strong!, for now cant be to long and that BenC "Just holding the line" will be on top, again!.

 

That's what I was saying. We should be able to select gears and have full control before the lights, and be able to false start, just like in drag mode.

 

Missread your post, sorry

 

But it is possible that after this update the performance (fps etc..) have improved a lot? Great! I would not be wrong but before this update, and when I was alone on the track I was 100-120fps, but now i have 150fps.Yet another thing: before this update if I do not enable v-sync, i had microstuttering and tearing. Now i have no tearing and decreased microstuttering!
Even if this is not possible, however, i want to thank Kunos simulations:
GRAZIE ragazzi, lavoro sublime!
THANK YOU guys, sublime jobs!
