Information for Customizing AI drivers in AMS2

What is "full race distance"? Is it defined per car per track? In laps? Kilometers sounds unlikely, because if it was doing that calculation, surely we could set the race distance by kilometers in the race settings. How much of a full GP is 55 minutes? If it was based on time, then wouldn't it have to guesstimate how long lap-based races take before the session starts? People have modded cars into this game, is there a definition for what a full race is in the files?

 

Of course - I was making a very crude example of the difference between two settings. Otherwise a 10 hour race would mean guaranteed failure at that rate which is not the case

 

Presets have different configurations for what is considered a full length race. For instance IMSA preset sets races to the times they are for the specific track you're at. So for Daytona the full race distance is 24 hours. Sebring is 12 hours, Road Atlanta is 10 hours, etc etc. For formula cars race distance is set to laps. I'm not sure if Reiza fully implemented where each track has the correct number of laps for a full GP, that was a development goal a while ago, but that's what people are meaning when they say full race distance. Each preset has a unique setting that constitutes a full length race and what rules there are that are available.

 

What if no preset is selected, then?

 

This makes a lot of sense. Does it still work for races that are defined by laps, though?

 

That’s awesome news is the plan to include in 1.7?

Also will this address the issue where you sometimes get duplicate cars?

 

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting, I hope you can help me.

I'm trying to create a custom grid for the LMDh class, but it's not working. I've tried everything, and nothing works.

I've reduced the grid to 12 drivers, but it still doesn't work. I'm sending it to you in case you can take a look and see if I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks.

 

The file you posted only has 10 unique livery names. Alpine #38 and Porsche #6 are duplicated. If you pick one of the listed cars you can only have 9 opponents, if you pick another car you can use 10 opponents.

 

Okay, that was the problem! I didn't know you couldn't repeat liveries. Thank you so much!

 

I think you can repeat liveries but you would need to edit the livery files under the relevant cars so that the different livery names point to the same actual livery files, so then you would still have different livery names in your AI files even though the cars would look the same.

 

Could some advise if they have already created an IMSA 2025 XML with real driver skills please?

 

@gian Hey quick question about the recent rebrand of Formula v12 to Formula Edge – how does this affect the AI xml file names? In the list in the first post, I still see F-V12.xml but also a FE-G1.xml. Are they both valid? Or is the v12 a leftover that will stop working?
