Official General AI Comments & Discussion Topic

As much as I think Lmdh cars are cool, I do feel like the AIs are still way too fast and aggressive compared to what they are with GT cars or even Group C cars. Even when I try racing with more powerful ERS modes, I still feel the AIs are so fast.

 

Anyobe else finding a few AI issues at Le Mans, using GT3/LMDH/LMP3, namely;

• Turn 1; they tend to run a bit wide then gain magical traction and sort of "snap" back onto the racing line.
• Second Mulsanne chicane, they are able to brake much later than me.
• The first fast Right hand turn into 'Indianapolis' they seem to have far too much traction and get round that corner far quicker than me.

 

Is it just me or do the Formula V10 G1 cars have significantly worse starts than the McLaren MP4/12?

 

LMDH ERS modes don't affect power output, they change fuel efficiency.

 

Will racing AI ever actually consist of AI, so it can solve All of these issues? I'm very surprised that a console sim (gt7) is beginning to utilize true AI. We need it on the hardcore, pc sim side.

 

In Daytona, AI still are getting stuck and crashing constantly in T1 and the Bus stop.

 

Seriously? There have been so many reports with videos and screenshots, including myself...

 

I'm pretty sure the evidence is asked not to prove the issue's existence but to give a bit more detailed insights/evidence to try to debug why it may be happening. No need to be stroppy.

- Car: Copa Classic B And GT classics
- Track: Velopark 2017
- AI strength: 106
- Track conditions: both wet and dry
- Report: the AI is very slow through corners 5, 6 and 7. I easily overtake both the Chevrolet and the Porsche of the GT classics and I gain about 2 seconds on the Copa Classic B cars.
Then they brake quite late into turn 8. I brake at the 100m sign, they (Copa) can brake about 20 meters later.

 

- Car: FClassic Gen 2
- Track: Watkins Glen Short
- AI strength: 110
- Track conditions: dry
- Report:The AI is very slow on sector 1, specially the esses. I am almost 8 tenths faster with the model 2 than the next car (McLarens), while I am barely on the pace through the lap (so they could be actually losing more than a second wrt a reasonable pace there)

 

- Car: Gen1 GT3 but others as well
- Track: Silverstone National
- AI strength: 100
- Track conditions: dry
- Report: AI struggle at T2 & T3, they seem to take a very wide entry into T2 and lock up and spin. This happens nearly every lap, I did gain places as a result but still not ideal
From memory this has been like this for a long time?

 

- Car: Gen2 GT3s AND LMP2s (didn't try LMDh's)
- Track: Le Mans
- AI strength: 110
- AI aggression: Medium
- Track conditions: dry
- Report:
I have been doing a couple of races a day at Le Mans this week but have been struggling with the AI whenever it gets close to me - to the point they now sometimes scare me off the road completely!

It seems at this circuit (more than others) they

(i) have 'magical' acceleration out of corners even if you brake check them and get an initially better exit; and

(ii) thus AI in your own class seem to have a speed advantage down the straights and going into corners which they try to exploit with moves that really aren't on.

I've ended up off the road a dozen times this week and kept blaming myself although I thought the AI might have been the cause. I finally took the time to look at a replay and I have documented this one example of "moves that aren't on" in this unlisted video:

I'm in the Audi and the Porsche behind me goes for a move which involves cutting the chicane, making contact and keeping his foot in it - which turns me around and puts me in the wall.

Maybe I left the door open?? I don't think I could have avoided that. What do you think?
