What am I doing wrong with my talent files?

MUFI · Jul 10, 2023

I started an F3000 championship based on the 2002 F3000 field. For some reason, the drivers with the better talent files are at times performing worse than the ones with the lowest ability. Sebastien Bourdais is the second-fastest driver on the grid according to my files, yet he's struggling to finish in the top 10 but Alex Yoong is regularly topping the timesheets and leadingraces when he should be the worst driver on the grid. I'll add the screenshots of the files below.

There's also a chance Mr Yoong's car files are incorrect (so easy to mistype an entry). Swap his talent file to a different car and see if he's still too fast.

Rookies among others jump from quick race to quick race then complain when AI crashes.

rF2 you can't do this if cars grid out of place it has course and effect.

In other sims this seems canned to me, I can run cars in any order does not seem to matter, outcome is the same.

Kind of like what happens in a real race when you have reverse grid, slower drivers brake earlier, etc.

Dynamics huh

When you're doing a quick race in other games like R3E, drivers are automatically sorted on the grid by their skill, though.

I have done extensive work on an improved Talent update for the F1-1988 by carrara 4. It's very important your naming is correct and proper location of your RCD file. You may want to examine mine for comparisons: https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/f1-1988-talent-update.
