There may be some things which I've forgotten!
The things in RED are the "UPDATED" things.
Things changed since V1.0:
  • Later breaking points & faster cornering for the AI.
  • Faster acceleration of the AI cars.
  • AI overtakes a LOT more than in V1.0.
  • Slightly decreased Safety Car speed since V1.0.
  • Technical Retirements limited to 3 per session.
  • The teams are better balanced.
  • You start with more fuel so you can finish the race without using MIX 1 and you can use MIX 3 from time to time.
  • The AI's are driving a lot smoother and they don't panic when overtaking and etc (compared to V1.0).
  • A little change to mistakes during overtaking.
I highly recommend you to:
  • Start a new career.
  • Don't overwrite any files from this mod because you may activate out of sight bug and etc.
  • Use default car setup because with a personal setup you'll get a lot more grip than the AI's.
I would be very happy if you:
  • Give me feedback (Pluses and Minuses) for the mod.
  • Give me suggestions on what should I change.
  • Enjoy the mod! :)
Installation:
  1. Go to your F1 2011 folder.
  2. Backup your original AI and Database folders.
  3. Extract everything from my .rar file.
  4. Enjoy & Comment.
A LITTLE UPDATE! Please Re-download the mod!
V2.1
Decreased AI Aggression - no more stupid crashes.​
Minor changes to the teams' performance.​
V2.2
Fixed the AI mistakes. They don't run into your back anymore.​
A BIG improvement for the AI's at every track.​
A little change to the penalty system.​
Due to the faster AI's a little change to the out of sight bug too.​
V2.3
Another try to fix the AI's mistakes. It works great for me, they even overtake more and they're a lot more careful but I won't be surprised if it doesn't work again..​
If you want to use it with 2012 mod and etc:
I made it for Mr Pibb's 2012 Mod
The way to install it is simple. Download Mr Pibb's mod. Overwrite everything and then just put my Database for Mr Pibb's 2012 Mod. Everything should be alright this way. Just try not to use it with other databases and AI folders. It may cause unwanted results.


Please, do NOT re-upload this mod anywhere without my permission!
A short video of @Dimos Kapourniotis which shows a little of the AI's behaviour​
 
Sounds fantastic.

I have a question. Why do you recommend we start a new career? What happens if we don't?

Due to changes in the database you might get a screwed up drivers performance.

is only good for 1.2 patched games or what?

Yes, I've made it on Patch 1.2. I don't know how it would work on Patch 1.0.

how much faster are the AI in races and on race starts comparing to v1.0?

Well an easy example:
Spain mod 1.0: Average lap times ~1.23.xxx
Spain mod 2.0: Average lap times ~1.19.xxx

Valencia 1.0: ~1.39-1.40
Valencia 2.0: ~1.36

Usually around 3 to 4 seconds difference.

Why do not you add Sauber?

Add it to start career? Because I have to put it to Tier 4 to add it and this will mess up the order.

Nice AI mod ! Just one thing: Can you update nationnalities for 2012 drivers please ? Or how to do it ?

Sorry for my english ...

Thanks in advance !

I'll check a little bit later for that. I need some sleep now. :)
 
So there are three mods with the same aim and the same promise out there right now. I'll wait until somebody has tried out all three of them and can make an answer on the question, which one to choose from.

Spain mod 1.0: Average lap times ~1.23.xxx
Spain mod 2.0: Average lap times ~1.19.xxx

Hi! - I assume these times are while playing Legend AI yes? So professional level AI will be slightly slower with your mod?

Thanks for the great work by the way! :)

Yes, professional is slower. I haven't tested it actually but it should be around the old Legend pace. I'm actually curious of how the AI will be on Pro difficulty. If you test it - tell me some lap times.. :)
