AI

Just wondering if anyone else has found that they can pull away from the AI quite easily after battling to overtake them? I am currently racing on 96% difficulty. I have to battle hard to pass people, but then find them very easy to pull away from. Perhaps this is something developers can look into? Only early of course.

 

maybe try 100%?

 

Most of the AI cars are actually very slow.
Only 5-8 of the AI cars are fast and with the grids being random in quick races some of those fast AI end up stuck behind slower cars. So when it comes down it, in quick races you end up pulling away from almost all AI cars and only the top 3 or so ends up being fast.

 

in quick race you can set the filter, which entrants you want to play with
in sprint race weekend there is no filter, just the sprint cup entrants.

maybe you use all entrants, and from a hug selection only half of the field is fast, the others are bronze drivers, i don't know? i suggest to try to use the filter.
also in quick race there is no qualy and so the field is mixed. but with high agression the faster AI drivers should be able to pass...

 

Yes, I've seen other people having this too, including me. I said it already, but here it is again: if you're able to catch up and pass an AI, it means you're faster than them, probably more than a few tenths, so I think it's pretty normal that once you passed them you will pull away. You can always check their lap times, if they have considerably slower lap times after you pass them than that could be an issue.

 

Loving this and look forward to the final release.
However I have a couple of issues with the AI. After outbreaking them into a corner they then unrealistically speed up again pass you back and take the corner at warp speed and this is with aggression set to 60%.
The other issue is something I've found in every sim I've tried and I hope someone has an answer.. Why do developers have their cars stick to the road like glue? They touch you you're off the track and if you touch them particularly in the rear coming out of a corner you're again off the track. The only exception I found was RF1 where you could adjust the AI car's torque stability value to the point where you didn't always come off second best. Surely if you give the AI cars a nudge they should be effected..

 

I guess the AI has superhuman reflexes and catches the drift before the car moves off the line. A bit of delay to their corrections might make them seem more human.

 

I believe AI is not running real physics at the moment...they are a bit like on rails and last night i pitted a car and he was 90° left and than drifted to right side and then straiten up the car and still stayed ahead of me

 

In that case why do I have 100% CPU usage with only 10 AI already?

 

The Main Problem is again:

The AI just drives slower, if u decrease the difficulty, even on straight parts. It would be better, if they use the full amount of throttle and getting slower by braking too early or too late, loosing time in corners...

 

How do you select your opponents, where do I find the filter?

 

if i rmember orrectly, it's in the quick race menu, when you select your car there is a "filter" option on the downside of screen (near confirm and others, in the middle)
filter canbe set to "all", "sprint" or "endurance"

 

today I tried a 30 minute race against AI. a car started with the pit limiter and kept it inserted throughout the race. the other cars have struggled to overtake her many times so I double them 2 or times, noting that the blue flags are present, but are not considered, since they were still very aggressive. I show you a short video taken from the AI car onboard replay

 

So thats what happend to my ai. Couldnt check what was happening since my game crashed after the race

 

maybe it simulates a random technical issue?
i did a lot of races but never experienced this (but full lap formation)

 

I do not believe. the car turned for the 30-minute race with the limiter on. if it was a problem it would stop I think ..

 

Obviously a bug, but it's better to post here : https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?forums/acc-gameplay.74/
There are other treads about AI problems in that section of the forum.

 

Thank you. I posted it in the right section

 

Why does the AI take full fuel during practice sessions and perform like low fuel setup cars?
They do not pit after a couple of laps as in real life and as it is in AC1.
Please make them behave like in AC1.

 

The Lambos seem to be in their own league...
