Official General AI Comments & Discussion Topic

There used to be a slider and i think that was terrible because what even is the difference between 5% agression and 10% ?? Honestly the less obscure and more directly described settings the better, the current options of Low / Medium / High / Max is perfect as is.

Frankly i think Max is nowhere near Max enough for me and even High still feels like what i would expect from Medium.

 

I have not tested anywhere near enough on the latest builds to conclude anything, but as a signal to others, historically the open-wheelers/more fragile cars needed a lower aggression setting than the tin tops if all else was equal (proper strength setting, player skill level, etc.) to prevent realistic damage settings from potentially ruining races. If possible, try the series you are most comfortable in from the "other" category to your favourite to see if your results, issues, comments apply to both equally. It is also very possible that less popular series have not yet been fully honed to account for all the changes to tires, grip, and global AI adjustments.

 

Hmm I am using the Real Drivers for AMS2 by John B. Ellis.
I was only interested in the names and not any AI modification. But guess just having it like

<custom_ai_drivers>
<driver livery_name="Leo Panthera Autosports #1">
<name>Kent Quinn</name>
<country>AUS</country>
</driver>

is enough to intervene and cause an issue?

Ie I can't expect it to work with using custom names?

Thanks!

 

Some features of ams II AI I wish can be improved.
. For example 101-104 on different tracks
1) sometimes AI going through the corner slower, exit is also slower, but then he gain higher speed on the straight.
2) sometimes it just go slower, sometimes just go too fast via same corner. Very inconsistent. You don't see it in real or online usually.
3) it brakes unnaturally good.
4) when you overtake it, sometimes AI slows down significantly

This behaviour gives some challenges to you, but it's like a "toca race driver" vibes, which is quite not a SIM . Well, but definitely much better then most of other sims )

 

This is why it's so difficult for Reiza.

I usually run the AI between 104 and 108 with medium aggression (default setups accept for fuel and sometimes wing and ARB).

Although I generally agree with you I find that even when I'm finding it hard to keep up with the AI on the straights its mainly because I have less acceleration out of the corners but I still find I'm better on the brakes sometimes by a significant margin.

If its a car with traction control I'll turn this down in order to try and get better drive out of the corner but I still find myself more often than not with less drive out of the initial stage of the corner.

Its interesting though that two corners on different tracks that I think have very similar properties I get different results, the final turns at modern A1 Ring and Catalunya.

At the A1 ring I do far better than I do at Catalunya, Catalunya I'll always be struggling with understeer if I try to push enough to keep up with the AI pace. At the A1 ring I'll often come out of the last corner with the potential for a draft and overtake.

What Reiza can't do is make up for inconsistencies/lack of talent in my driving style.

 

In the last few races I've played against the AI, it's performed quite smoothly—I've really liked that—and I think adding another level of aggressiveness was a great move. The AI seems more and more polished to me; in my humble opinion,
I think it's on the right track now

 

I’m writing to report the following: I raced with Formula USA 2023 (IndyCar) at the Canadian Tire Circuit, and the performance was terrible: stuttering and FPS drops, which were more pronounced in certain turns or sections of the track; in others, it ran normally. It was awful during lapping. I’ve put in almost 400 hours of gameplay and I love AMT2—I don’t mind paying for every DLC; it’s my favorite simulator. But I lose some of my enthusiasm when I see that a particular track setup isn’t performing as it should, while others run like a charm. I don’t know where the problem lies; you’re the developers, and it doesn’t seem to me that this is a problem with my PC, and as a user, I’m not pushing the game beyond its limits in any way. It seems to me that certain tracks and categories need optimization. I know it’s not easy—there are a lot of cars and tracks in this simulator—but if you took on the challenge, it’s because you can handle it. Anyway, that’s my comment, with a bit of disappointment. I’m attaching a screenshot of this turn where the performance was terrible throughout the entire race. Thanks,
I want to add that I did a 20-minute test with the Renault R28 on the same track, and there were only a couple of minor jerks when two cars came up behind me and another one alongside me, but it was much, much better than the previous one. Another thing I’ve noticed is the AI’s straight-line speed, which is overwhelming; it’s like they’re using nitro and I’m on a skateboard, and even if you pull ahead, all of a sudden they’re right on your tail, and I’m not sure how much of a factor the slipstream effect is. Sometimes it seems to work for me and other times it doesn’t, but the AI always has its “turbo” maxed out—even though I have the AI set to 95%. Anyway, thanks.

 

I like current AI. I drive F-Edge (F1 1995), and it's better than before, they often attack me back after I have overtaken them. And quite correctly, not taking me out. I do not use advances setups, so AI strength is just 95 for me. Never understood this whining from those who use 120% AI and have problems. Stellar so far.
