This mod increases damage sensitivity in "Simulation" mode for AI and player.
Unfortunately there is no way to affect damage for new parts such as sidepod, rear wing etc., so this is not changed. Mod affect only to front wings and suspension.
How the mod works:
The main goal of the mod is to add more AI crashes and random safety cars that change the course of the race.
Crashes only occur when the AI (or player) touches each other, causing damage.
The AI's are very careful when fighting each other, and the dirty air is very strong and interferes with the fight, so I had to increase the sensitivity of the suspension compared to F1 2019 mods or earlier(but the same as F1 2020), otherwise accidents don't happen.
At the same time, when a collision occurs, a broken car can block the trajectory. AI is very stupid when avoiding static objects on the trajectory, so it can create a massive pile-up. So in this case, it's one crash due to the mod, but plus 3 or 5 or 10 due to the stupidity of the AI. I can't change it.
The more fighting and overtaking, the greater the chance of touching and colliding. So they often happen on tracks like Mexico or Monza or Baku, but very rarely on tracks like Hungary or Netherlands.

Affect only for F1 2021 cars.
Included options:
Extreme: ultra crashes for maximal amount of crashes.
Medium: Very sensitive and challenging. Recommended for 5 laps-25% races.
Realistic: Accidents occur less frequently then with medium or extreme. Front wings sensitivity not changed. Recommended for 50%-100% races.
