WowWowWow!!! what Stefano did to the AI??????

its seems the AI has a very narrow view of the world, seems they think they have only 1.5 cars width off of the programmed drivers line.

so they are timid scared to come off the line to overtake as the ai thinks theres no width.

im no programming expert, but i would guess if the ai knew it has more width to play with, say 3 cars width at any time they would attempt risky overtakes more and make mistakes more....like real drivers do.

 

This is actually great. AI doesn't stop at Eau Rouge anymore, gonna use this until Kunos fixes the official AI line. Maybe you could offer them this and ask to replace the official line to save them time. Spa was unplayable offline before, with this feels like I have new track offline.

 

Some cars have issues so you have to find the happy medium. After some more tweaks maybe I'll submit it.

 

Yeah I forgot to post about this @LilSki and Shredator pretty summed up my thoughts.

 

The AI needs to be 'Max Verstappened Up' )

 

...something like Raceroom......if you choose Adaptive AI, instead of 101% etc., they will adapt to your average lap times, so you are always challenged. They don't follow your raceline, though ( good idea if racing me....). It does take some time to train them though, for each car class/track.

 

I just tired to race 8 opponents (DTMs 90s) on Nurburg GP. 94% skill, green/fast track... 7/8s difference per 1 lap... in quali. and on start of the race i went out of the room... and still, they could overtake me and all ai were behind me... something is pretty damn wrong with AI. 458 @iMola works just fine (had 1v1 race with AI earlier). but a/m situation with DTMs... it was just pure drama.

 

If you're in front, your lap time dictates the lap times of the ai. But once you're mid or at the back, they will just leave you and have 5-7 sec lead per lap and those behind you will just sit there behind you and follow your lap times. That's why i dont play 100% AI. I mostly race on 92% because i have the same lap times with the AI after quali and have an exciting race with them.

 

I mean... I'm faster than them 5~7s per lap. At Imola in 458 at 92% I'm faster around 1-1,5s per lap... so things are quite broken ATM.

 

Yes, you can actually do that and more even on 100% AI. If you are first on lap 1-2, the race is pretty much over. Try 3rd on the grid on any track. If you placed 1st on the first turn, its automatic win.

I did a few hours practicing tonight because I have always been terrible with openwheelers. 96% AI, optimum grip, Formula 3 mod at Mugello they were faster than me by ~3 seconds and they had no problem overtaking me. I was even rammed twice when I cut them ahead. Comparing their laptime with RSR records 96% AI should end up front row to mid pack if they were to do SRS F3 races.

Then I tried same settings, F138 Imola, and they behaved pretty similar. They were ~5 seconds faster than me and could overtake me.

However I did notice at some locations where they could have passed me but they didn't. I think the issue with AI is more combo dependent and location dependent. It might not be an easy "over world fix" or "general AI behavior fix".

 

One thing that came to my mind recently: Isn't there some "Resolution" setting when you create AI lines for a track? I wondered if the AI behave better the higher the resolution is. Long tracks like Nordschleife I expect to have low resolution, and the AI is rather bad (even on wide parts of the track). But on other, much shorter mod tracks like Mantorp I experience a very different AI behaviour, aggressive overtaking, risky driving, even on very tight corners. And as its a mod track the creator probably went all out in resolution for the AI line.

 

Yeah, I did yesterday 100% DTMs @ Nurburg GP - it was finally quite close racing, but still I was 2nd in quali (despite me being quite slow around 2s from my PB in which there are also ) but in a race I ended up on 1st.
I'll see today another tracks as I made DTM championship with 10 KS tracks.
But TBH it's quite worrying.
