Information for Customizing AI drivers in AMS2

The guidance states:

• A driver with Wet Skill = 1.0 goes 10% slower in a fully wet corner than in dry.
• A driver with Wet Skill = 0.0 goes 20% slower in a fully wet corner than in dry.

So I think a driver with Wet Skill = 0.5 means the driver goes 15% slower in a fully wet corner than in dry.

 

Is it possible for me to isolate a few cars from a grid...

like I want to do a multiclass grid TVR Tuscan GT2 and Lister Storm and Aston Martin for the GT1 and get a multiclass race using only these 3 cars, is it possible?

 

If you want to do it as a one-off, rather than create a new AI file, you can also edit what car is in what class in the CRD files in Automobilista 2 > Vehicles > (name of car) so for example add A to the start of every class name to make new classes
So for example in the Aston Martin low downforce file, the line that says
<prop name="Vehicle Class" data="GT1_05_LD" /> you could make
<prop name="Vehicle Class" data="AGT1_05_LD" />

They tend to get reset from time to time though when steam works out that your files are not "correct".

 

Thanks I've had to do a bit of reading and messing around with some previous files that I saw to have an idea.
If I knew how to code I would create an app for this, this is basically notepad txt editing.

In AC's content manager it's very easy to directly do this in the app and there is even visual feedback on some information and skin selections, etc...

For example, in my AMS2 folder, if I search for McLaren F1 I find the GT1 cars, but if I search for Lister (for the GT1 2005 cars) I only find the files for the skin, but nothing else.
(Search using "ctrl+F" inside the folder, for the car names of the car class I want to control for example)

 

ha ha ha yeah very valid point... poor grammer by me thank mate

Great thank you!
I've made a bot and his logic is most drivers would be around 50% but guys like Senna and Schumacher would be closer to 100 so I dont need to tune that too much

 

Regarding the wet, I've just tried 115AI with wetskill setting at 1.0 so should be near the same.
My problem wasn't about the raw pace the AI had, but that my tires got colder and lower grip faster than the AI, and the AI manages to stay out on slicks for 1 lap longer, eventually they get affected and go to the pits when the track is soaked.
So their behaviour is actually improved, regardless of the wetskill slider.

the race also had a x5 multiplier, does that mean the player gets affected harder than the AI?
also, if tire wear of fuel consumption are x2, or x4, do those things actually affect the AIs?

I'm also curious to see how can I config the way the AIs are affected by tire temperature changes.

 

I’d like some clarification on something: if I modify an AI XMP file—for instance, by adding weight or reducing engine power—will the car I’m driving take those changes into account during a single-player race, or do they apply only to the AI opponents?

 

See the description in the main post

 

Really enjoying the new scalers, now we just need just custom ai in multiplayer as previously mentioned to take this to the stratosphere

 

A question regarding the new drag scalar: does reducing it also cause the car to loose downforce in the corners in addition to being faster on the straights?

 

Would it be possible to update the list with the new classes :
- GT1 2005, GT2 2005, LMP1 2005, LMP2 2005, F Ultimate Gen 1-3, FV8 Gen 1-3, FV10 Gen 3...

 

I have to say, despite AIs at some tracks being in a need for a fix I still enjoy racing with them!
But then there are those ridiculously funny AI-slop-moment

 

I'm creating a web app for easy editing of pilots and grids. A huge part of the work is extracting livery images from the game, and now I also have to find names for the .xml files.

We really need up-to-date names of racing series .xml files.
