DESCRIPTION
I've set out to create the most accurate Custom AI for the 1991 Formula 1 season. My file is an evolution of Hammerheart86's file which is also available here in the DL section. Once again many kudos to Hammerheart86 for delivering a strong basis I could build upon!
NOTE
You will also want to install the real F1 1991 skins: https://www.racedepartment.com/sear...ies][0]=197&c[child_categories]=1&o=relevance
INSTALLATION
As always, just unzip/copy the .xml to your User Data folder which is located here:
...\Steam\steamapps\common\Automobilista 2\UserData
For the driver names to work in-game, make sure that the livery names in this XML match the livery names in the XML file(s) which is/are located here:
...\Steam\steamapps\common\Automobilista 2\Vehicles\Textures\CustomLiveries\Overrides
Reiza lately introduced "Vehicle Reliability" as another driver's value to determine the odds of a DNF. In my newest update I have included this value for all driver's based on their 1991 real-life results and using Reiza's formula.
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
Opponent Skill: 100
Opponent Aggression: 50
Damage: Performance Impacting or Full
Tyre Wear: 2 x for 50 % race distance, 3 x for 33 % race distance (leads to more realistic pitstop strategies from the AI than "mandatory pitstop")
KNOWN ISSUES
- ATM the tank volume is too low for these cars to complete a full race distance like in 1991, eg 53 laps at Monza. That has been reported to Reiza. Tip: Put "Fuel Consumption" to "Off" or "Authentic" or allow refueling (though not accurate) to prevent the AI from DNFing due to running out of fuel.
- Tire Wear and therefore the AI pit strategy can be buggy, making them come in several times to change tires though not necessary. Tip: Put Tire Wear "OFF".
I am looking forward to your constructive feedback! Happy racing!
