    To override AI driver names, personalities and nationalities, user can create a .xml file named with the vehicle class name into the UserData\CustomAIDrivers\ folder of his Automobilista 2 steam folder (usually it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Automobilista 2\UserData\CustomAIDrivers\).

    For reference, all vehicle class names can be found in the spoiler below:

    For example, if he wants to override AI drivers for the Formula Classic Gen3 vehicle class, he should create a F-Classic_Gen3.xml file inside \UserData\CustomAIDrivers\ folder, like this:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Automobilista 2\UserData\CustomAIDrivers\F-Classic_Gen3.xml

    Example of F-Classic_Gen3.xml file content:
    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <custom_ai_drivers>
        <driver livery_name="Ministry Motorsport #51">
            <name>John Smith</name>
            <country>USA</country>
            <race_skill>0.75</race_skill>

            <vehicle_reliability>0.847</vehicle_reliability>
        </driver>
        <driver livery_name="ABS Racing #14">
            <name>William Shakespeare</name>
            <country>GBR</country>
            <race_skill>0.12</race_skill>
            <qualifying_skill>0.0</qualifying_skill>
            <consistency>1.0</consistency>
        </driver>
    </custom_ai_drivers>
    
    So, livery_name determines to what livery each driver will be assigned. In the example above we assigned drivers to 2 liveries of the Formula Classic Gen3 vehicle class. You can assign drivers to as many liveries as you want.

    livery_name
    is the name of the livery (case sensitive) as seen in the vehicle selection screen in the game, for example livery_name="Ministry Motorsport #51" will assign the driver to the livery from this screenshot:

    View attachment 17943

    So, for each vehicle class that you want to assign AI drivers to, you must create a .xml file. For example, now we want to override 3 AI drivers of the Chevrolet Cruze Stock Car 2019 vehicle class. The class filename is StockCarV8.xml (as you can see in the spoiler above) so you create a file StockCarV8.xml in \UserData\CustomAIDrivers\ folder.

    Example of StockCarV8.xml file content:
    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <custom_ai_drivers>
        <driver livery_name="Eurofarma RC - R.Mauricio #90">
            <name>Lorem Ipsum</name>
        </driver>
        <driver livery_name="Full Time Sports - R.Barrichello #111">
            <stamina>1.0</stamina>
        </driver>
        <driver livery_name="Eurofarma RC - D.Serra #29">
            <race_skill>1.0</race_skill>
        </driver>
    </custom_ai_drivers>
    
    Now, to race with a custom grid with only the drivers that you have overriden, you simply start a event in AMS2 with the desired opponent classes and select a number of AI opponents less or equal to the total number of AI drivers that you have overriden for those classes.

    Notes:
    • The valid personality values range is between 0 and 1 (inclusive), except vehicle_reliability (see below). All AI personality parameters are calibrated so that 0.5 is an realistic-ish average driver's value, 1 is mapped to a realistic-ish high extreme, and 0 is mapped to a realistic-ish low extreme. Its a sane range so 0 and 1 are valid and reasonable for the extremes though you would expect the spread to be weighted towards 0.5. Bell curve stuff. Thats the expectation, but of course always test the values of your custom AI drivers values to see if they are matching the result you would expect, and adjust it accordingly for your custom sets.
    • Any missing or invalid values are replaced with the original values of the AI driver that would be picked for that car in that event.
    • For now this feature is disabled in multiplayer mode.
    • What each personality value does:
      • name: Driver name.
      • country: 3 letter country code. This is used for displaying the country flag.
      • race_skill: Race session driver skill. It is mapped into a smaller range based on the "Opponent Skill Level" slider setting. Example:
        • For example, at 90% "Opponent Skill Level" slider setting: it builds a range from 85% to 95% (just example, the exact numbers vary for each vehicle model), so a 1.0 race skill driver would be 95% skill and a 0.0 race skill driver would be 85% skill in this example.
      • qualifying_skill: Same as above but for practice/qualifying sessions. Its completely independent from the race_skill. One detail is that a lower qualifying_skill value increases the likelihood of AI programmed mistakes during qualifying hotlaps.
      • aggression: Driver aggression. It is scaled by the "Opponent Aggression" setting:
        • At Low "Opponent Aggression" setting, the 0.0-1.0 aggression value is mapped into a 0.0-0.8 range.
        • At Medium "Opponent Aggression" setting, the 0-1 aggression value is mapped into a 0.2-1.0 range.
        • At High "Opponent Aggression" setting, the 0-1 aggression value is mapped into a 0.6-1.0 range.
        • At Max "Opponent Aggression" setting, all drivers have 1.0 aggression.
      • defending: How much the driver will try to defend his position. Is also scaled by the "Opponent Aggression" slider setting. One detail is that a lower defending value increases the likelihood of AI programmed mistakes when under pressure.
      • stamina: Lower stamina value means the driver loses more of his skill during the session, and also makes the driver to become tired earlier (which increases the likelihood of AI programmed mistakes)
      • consistency: Lower consistency value means the driver skill can be randomly reduced more (basically, the lower the consistency value of a driver, the more skill he can lose from the consistency logic). The randomness is biased towards not losing too much skill, so there is a higher probability for the drivers to lose few skill than to lose much skill. Its has a per-weekend effect (determined upon loading of a track) and also a per-lap effect (determined every new lap or so). One detail is that a lower consistency value slightly increases the likelihood of AI programmed mistakes during the session.
      • start_reactions: Lower start_reactions value means the driver will take more time to react to the race green flag and is more likely to make race start programmed mistakes at the moment of the race green flag (like losing rear grip with some smoke).
      • wet_skill: How good he is on a wet track. Controls how much he will slow down in curves as the track gets wet (lower wet_skill value means he will slow down more), and how likely he will make programmed mistakes related to wetness, like losing grip in puddles or in wet surface (lower wet_skill value increases the likelihood of those mistakes). For example, if a high race skill driver does a curve at 100km/h when its dry, and he has high wet skill, then at wet track he will do that curve at say 90km/h, while if he had low wet skill he would do it at say 85km/h. So if a low race skill driver does that curve at 95km/h in dry, and he has high wet skill, then he might do it at say 88km/h in the wet. Another way to explain it is: it controls how much percent slower a driver will be in a fully wet corner compared to his own speed in the dry in that same corner. For example: in a given class all drivers with 1.0 wet skill go 10% slower on a fully wet corner compared to their own speed on that same corner fully dry. And all drivers with 0.0 wet skill go 20% slower on a fully wet corner compared to their own speed on that same corner fully dry. (note those numbers are just examples, the actual percentage varies per class).
      • tyre_management: How good he is in preventing tyre wear (higher values means he will have less tyre wear and consequently he will be able do keep doing good laptimes for a longer period and pit later due to that). This doesn't change the behavior of the driver (i.e. he won't drive differently to try to save tires), just the tyre wear.
      • fuel_management: For now this parameter works in oval tracks only (but in future it will be extended to all track types); The higher the value, the more the AI will try to save fuel in some strategic situations instead of pushing, like when it sees it can maybe save a pitstop, it will try to stay in draft and coasting instead of overtaking while at the same time trying to not lose much distance to the race leader. It doesnt mean high value is better than low value, its just a characteristic of the driver.
      • blue_flag_conceding: Drivers with high blue_flag_conceding will work harder to concede the position when under blue flag.
      • weather_tyre_changes: Drivers with high weather_tyre_changes are more likely to make pitstops for changing tyres when the track wetness state changes. It doesnt mean 1.0 is better than 0.0, its just a characteristic of the driver, not really a skill. Sometimes staying longer on the track with the wrong tyres is better, sometimes its worse.
      • avoidance_of_mistakes: Drivers with lower avoidance_of_mistakes value are more likely to make AI programmed mistakes during the session in general (like understeer, oversteer, recoverable and non-recoverable mistakes).
      • avoidance_of_forced_mistakes: Drivers with 1.0 value for avoidance_of_forced_mistakes wont have their chances of mistakes increased when under pressure (when defending position). Drivers with lower value for avoidance_of_forced_mistakes will have their chances of mistakes increased when under pressure (compared to their chances of mistakes when not under pressure).
      • vehicle_reliability: In short this is a ratio between the lowest and highest possible reliability for the car/class in question. Read instructions on how to set this in its own section below.

    New in update V1.4.0.0:

    Two new custom AI parameters were added: fuel_management and vehicle_reliability. The former is explained above, and the later is explained in detail below:


    Vehicle Reliability

    To make sense of vehicle_reliability, you need to be aware of the reliability range we have set for each class. We list the ranges as minimum and maximum mean minutes between failures below. If you're working on a mean minutes between failures basis you need to do some math to turn it into the final reliability for a driver in the class in question - best to do in a spreadsheet or other tool when working on a set.

    Gather minimum (y) and maximum (z) mean minutes between failures for the class you're working on (see below), then consider your driver/team target mean minutes between failures (x) that you may have derived from some real race statistics for example. You can use this formula to calculate vehicle_reliability:
    Code:
    sqrt((x-y) / (z-y))
    If we had a minimum of 25 mins, maximum of 700 mins, and our target was 500 mins between failures, result of that formula and thus our vehicle reliability would be 0.839. You simply insert it to a driver's personality values:
    Code:
    <vehicle_reliability>0.839</vehicle_reliability>
    Alternatively if you wish to just set a reliability and see what happens, know that values above 0.6 are generally better for each class - relative to how reliable or unreliable the class should be. But for maximum chaos you can of course give low reliabilities a try.

    If you wish to go below 0.0 or above 1.0, that can be done too. But know that if you go negative, the formula changes to this:
    Code:
    -((y/x)-1)
    When negative, vehicle reliability is used as a divider for the minimum mean time so we need this extra step.

    Note that mean minutes between failures is simply a way to quantify reliability. In the end there can be a lot of variance and generally speaking if you want someone to last for 60 minutes consistently, better make them much more reliable than that.

    New in update V1.3.5.0:

    Starting on AMS2 V1.3.5.0, we implemented forced and unforced mistakes logic for AI, with support for user overriding the likelihood of forced and unforced mistakes personality values for AI drivers (check above to learn how to override the new avoidance_of_mistakes and avoidance_of_forced_mistakes personality values).

    The AI may make understeer or oversteer programmed mistakes in the following situations: on race reaction to green flag (depending on his start_reactions personality value), on puddles (depending his wet_skill personality value), on brakezones, on mid corners and on throttle appliance in corner exit, depending on his avoidance_of_mistakes personality values. The types of mistakes also depend on if the car is FWD or RWD.

    Some mistakes are programmed to be recoverable (i.e. minor mistakes, wont cause AI to spin or go off track, are more likely to occur) and some mistakes are programmed to be non-recoverable (i.e. major mistakes like spin or go off track, are less likely to occur).

    The likelyhood of a mistake on a given moment depends on several factors, like if he has poor related personality traits like the avoidance_of_mistakes personality value and the consistency value, or is suffering pressure (even more if the pressure occurs near the end of race or if he has poor defending or poor avoidance_of_forced_mistakes personality value), or track is wet and he has poor wet_skill, or he has slicks in wet, or he is in qualifying hotlap and has poor qualifying_skill value, or he is tired (due to poor stamina for example), or his tyres are worn. Mistakes will be less likely if that part of road has walls near (to simulate him being more careful to mistakes on tracks with walls near road).


    New in update V1.3.4.0:


    Starting on AMS2 V1.3.4.0, now you can optionally override AI driver values for specific tracks. See example below:
    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

            <vehicle_reliability>0.847</vehicle_reliability>
        </driver>
        <driver livery_name="Ministry Motorsport #51" tracks="Azure_Circuit_2021,Long_Beach,Salvador_Street_Circuit">

        </driver>
        <driver livery_name="Ministry Motorsport #51" tracks="Jacarepagua_OVAL">
            <race_skill>0.5</race_skill>
            <tyre_management>0.4</tyre_management>
            <defending>0.0</defending>
            <stamina>0.9</stamina>
            <aggression>0.0</aggression>
            <avoidance_of_mistakes>0.1</avoidance_of_mistakes>
            <avoidance_of_forced_mistakes>0.9</avoidance_of_forced_mistakes>
        </driver>
        <driver livery_name="ABS Racing #14">
            <name>William Shakespeare</name>
            <country>GBR</country>
            <race_skill>0.12</race_skill>
            <qualifying_skill>0.0</qualifying_skill>
            <consistency>1.0</consistency>
        </driver>
    </custom_ai_drivers>
    In the above example, you can see there are 3 driver entries for the same livery (Ministry Motorsport #51).

    The first entry doesn't contain a tracks list, so it means those are the base values of the driver of that livery on any tracks. For example, on any tracks, his race_skill will be 0.75.

    The second entry contains a tracks list with comma separated track names ("Azure_Circuit_2021,Long_Beach,Salvador_Street_Circuit"), so it means the driver of that livery has some specific personality values to those 3 tracks. So on Azure, Long Beach and Salvador, his race_skill will be 0.99 instead of 0.75, for example. The fields that arent present will still use the base value of that driver: for example, aggression isnt present, so it will use his base value for aggression on any tracks which is 0.3.

    The third entry contains a tracks list with only one track name ("Jacarepagua_OVAL"), so it means the driver of that livery has some specific personality values to this track. So on Jacarepagua_OVAL track, his race_skill will be 0.5 instead of 0.75, for example. The fields that arent present will still use the base value of that driver: for example, qualifying_skill isnt present, so it will use his base value for qualifying_skill on any tracks which is 0.823.

    You can add as many track overrides as you want, for as many drivers (liveries) as you want.

    Its the name of the livery that the driver belongs to (case sensitive), as seen in the vehicle selection screen in the game, check this screenshot:

    Just to experiment a little

    I made a custom file for GT3 al cars are called after there number, so it will be easy to recognize the cars. ( Formula classic Gen3 is also included but not complete)
    Skill in each type of car 0.1,0.2 ..... 1
    And I added comments to keep the file organized

    I added the content below,

    So I am a little confused by this.

    <driver livery_name="ABS Racing #14">
    <name>William Shakespeare</name>
    <country>GBR</country>
    <race_skill>0.12</race_skill>
    <qualifying_skill>0.0</qualifying_skill>
    <consistency>1.0</consistency>
    </driver>
    <driver livery_name="Bradley GP #12">
    <name>Lorem Ipsum</name>
    </driver>
    <driver livery_name="Full Time Sports #111">
    <stamina>1.0</stamina>
    </driver>
    <driver livery_name="Eurofarma RC #29">
    <race_skill>1.0</race_skill>
    </driver>
    </custom_ai_drivers>

    what does this portion of the example code allude to if the example is pointing at the #51 formula classic gen 3 #51 car? Also what happens if we say want to exclude certain cars from being selected? Like say I want to do a multi class race and I only want 3 McLaren GT3s chosen. How do I make sure only the 3 I want get selected and so on and so fourth for the rest of the vehicles?

    The example isnt just for the #51 car. The example contains 5 overriden drivers, 1 for each livery_name specified, only one of them is for the #51 car. You can add drivers for as many liveries as you want.

    Even works with a custom livery name (e.g. Team Red #1) in the livery overrides section.

    Awesome job :)

    ...but if you customize every car in a given livery set and then create a custom championship with fewer than the max cars for that set, it should be the same customized drivers that show up in every round, right?

    Here's a fictional set of drivers for the Ginetta G40 Cup car, with random skill / aggression / consistency values. It's just so nice to see some different names on the grid at last!

    I made a Custom file for the Formula V10 2000 skins made by Alain Fry and his friends
    [AMS2] F1 2000 Season

    Based on these values

    View attachment 17955
    All values are related to the end score in the WK, except the rain values, these are based on the Race in Canada
    tyre_management, stamina, consistency and blue_flag_conceding still have the same value for every driver.
    (Toyota probably had test drivers, I choose Ryan Briscoe and Allan McNish)

    Tanks to Alain Fry and friends for making these skin

    I've never used scripts but I have managed to run it using your code. But how do I construct the .csv? Do I create the headers per column in an .xls (in row 1) and then put the data for each livery etc., under those headers for each driver (in rows 2,3,4 etc), then export as a .csv?

    Thanks for any help, Sax!

    I put the data in a spreadsheet , (you can add extra columns for WK-standing or a special race like I did in the example in post #25 above, this makes it each to reorder the rows if you want some order in the values, I removed these columns before the export to csv)

    doh! I missed your first .xls file. Extra info is useful though, thanks!
