Update 1.14 and RTR DLC impressions

just a bug.. it'll be back tomorrow

 

below 80 yes, above 100 no

 

You have to tell me what you have been smoking lately to come up with that AI code, I really need some for myself

 

I almost cried when I saw prototype passing gt3 car with no sweat. This new AI is really good. Happy days! Thank you Kunos!

 

What does that mean?

 

man the MC12 is a treat to drive.. slick work. very cool

 

So AI can definitely make some spectacular mistakes now. That was at 100% strength, 4% variation, 60% aggression. Track surface at optimum and 26°C air so plenty of grip.



Honestly when I made room and it crashed into me I was like WTF? but looking at the replay I can totally see how this can happen. AI appears much more human now.

 

AI does appear very human, I almost feel I want to apologise to Dewayne Maupin, the AI driver of a beautiful white Maserati GT4. We had an unbelievable 9-lap battle at Zandvoort, constantly passing each other and together working our way from the back of the grid up to 6th and 7th place. Unfortunately the race was 10 laps long and on lap 9 I made a mistake drove my Audi TT cup into his car and caused him to drop 4 positions. Up till then it was the best race I've ever had in Assetto Corsa. Exciting every meter and totally believable.

Thanks to our Lord and the whole Kunos team! This update is just fabulous.

 

@Lord Kunos:
Any way to enable the Ping value behind the driver name again or to add an option for future update to bring it back?
It was quite handy for admin work.

I know the names go yellow or red like before, but there are often players with ~100 Ping (as yellow) with stable connection (north american to europe servers) or sometimes ~200-250 Ping (as red) with stable connections. These are quite ok, but the issue is with 300 or higher or if the value changes a lot.
With the number it was quite easy to spot bad connections and if necessary kick them.

The color only isn't as informative.

 

Save your setup naming it ai_default and AI will use it, except fuel and something that I can't remember right now, in next session.

 

AI is freaking amazing, it's like a new game. BIG PROPS.

Need help though. What's difference between Ballast and Restrictor? Ballast is just increased weight right? but what is Restrictor?

 

So much Fun with the Toyota Celica ST185 @Highland short and both Audi TT Cup/RS i like too.
Nice touch displaying the player's nation flag online too .
................Too much Fun to notice the Wind
Yeah the AI...Just great!!!!you can race with confidence and have a good race

 

When you make a setup in-game on the setup screen you can save it named ai_default in the track folder of a track and from the next session on that track the AI will use that setup (except the stuff they dynamically change, no fixed setups there). Having an electronics tab allows you to let them use something like High Aggressive ERS setting by default in LMP1 for a specific track. Don't know though which settings the AI can now adjust themselves in 1.14 (gearing and wing was added I think?).

 

Im blind or something is missing. I dont see wind config in servers manual... And also restrictor line in server manual. Any explanation?

Thank you

 

I'm not 100% sure yet, but I don't think purple means best of all but rather your personal best (PB) for that segment of the track.
I think grey means you were behind your PB and black means you were not gaining or losing time there.

As I said, not 100% sure.

But purple (SB in the session), green/red (gain/lose) and black or grey (on par) would be more intuitive IMO.

Edit: I see that there is green on the F9 leaderboard, but don't recall seeing green on the delta app. Need to check that.

 

Oh, yeah. I really like the look of the new F9 thingy.

 

Yeah, for some reason it's still not up.
Anything wrong here? @Aristotelis

From what I know so far, thanks to @LeiF, you can specify wind in the [WEATHER_#] section like this:

Code:

WIND_BASE_SPEED_MIN=5
WIND_BASE_SPEED_MAX=25
WIND_BASE_DIRECTION=0
WIND_VARIATION_DIRECTION=90

Where the first and second are in km/h according to the server manager.
The third and fourth are most likely in degrees, thus from 0 to 359, but I'm not 100% sure there.

I've set it to:

Code:

WIND_BASE_SPEED_MIN=0
WIND_BASE_SPEED_MAX=10
WIND_BASE_DIRECTION=0
WIND_VARIATION_DIRECTION=180

which – if I'm correct – should allow for none to moderate wind coming from any direction.
A bit of speculation, though.

Restrictor, no idea, there is a value, but I don't know how it works and haven't tried.

 

Can somebody give me the link where I can read explanation of this: 0,1,2,3... etc

[CAR_0]
MODEL=
SKIN=
SPECTATOR_MODE=0
DRIVERNAME=
TEAM=
GUID=
BALLAST=0
RESTRICTOR=0

and also wind config

[WEATHER_0]
GRAPHICS=3_clear
BASE_TEMPERATURE_AMBIENT=20
BASE_TEMPERATURE_ROAD=7
VARIATION_AMBIENT=2
VARIATION_ROAD=2
WIND_BASE_SPEED_MIN=1
WIND_BASE_SPEED_MAX=5
WIND_BASE_DIRECTION=45
WIND_VARIATION_DIRECTION=5

 

What does "P2P" mean? I just noticed it on the Essentials Bar when I was racing the Audi TT Cup.

 

The new AI is a great improvement. Takes advantage of my errors but races surprisingly cleanly. I've almost forgotten about the old AI trains already, the DLC cost would be worth it just for the AI improvements.

Nice job

 

is dev app showing from what direction wind is coming?

Dont get it why we have to spend the time testing all new features just to understand what it is and how it works if devs could just put in couple words about it, could take them 20 second
