Thank you, I'm glad you think it's good. I just want to try a few more things to see if I can prevent the back of the field from touching bumpers.Oh, YES Thanks !! What a difference, speednut357...
Everything nasty you pointed out, IS NOW GONE. No excessive track cutting, decent behaviour in tight corners and MeeToo needs to be very quick off the brakes ! Qualifying 15, Doing numerous Setup changes and having in AIW down @ 1.07 Grip= 1.1 , AIGrip= 1.0
ended up, only at 9th... Next, you testing ? Me, trying FWD cars. Wondering what MJQT, might think ?
A couple observations:Thanks for the feedback. I am not very fast. If I put the strength on 95%, I slowly get left behind. So I need to hear about how others find it. I will tune it for a better Qualify/race balance, Taking what we have learned from Shovas.I think you've made real progress, and I had lots of fun racing with the AI in the few races I ran! Well done @Speednut357 ... I particularly enjoy the way the AI behave into the first corner of the first lap, as they can still overtake but funnel into a reasonable line on corner entry. Looking forward to any further experiments you might try.
- In my play, AI seem to be faster in qualifying than in the race
- I'm not a particularly fast driver, but 5 lap races at 95-7% strength in a 20-24 car field, I was getting the doors blown off me in qualifying (5+ seconds behind pole near the back, if not in last 1-2 seconds off 2nd last) but comfortably progressing up the field in the race up to between 10th and 15th
- Do you want to tune only RaceRatio, or both QualRatio and RaceRatio? Shovas's AI mod for GTR2, in my reading of his notes, only involved tuning RaceRatio values... perhaps this explains the behaviour I experienced with this AIW? Either that, or I just bottle qualifying
- I'm unsure if reducing track 'cutting' by taking tons of concrete inside the kerb is the best idea, because it leaves a gaping hole for the player to exploit to gain time and pass the AI at those turns (or at least it did for me)
- If the kerb cutting and hopping induces too many AI crashes because they can't handle it, then your current solution is the best option
- But if not, I might suggest trying out much tighter lines where possible to block potential overtakes
That makes sense! If overall laptimes improve with the current solution, then it's probably best to keep it and instead adjust track cut boundaries to prevent the player from doing crazy cutting, as you say.
This is a great idea to test longer races.
And if you wanna be really brave, you could even try 17 laps, which was the length of each of the Puebla races in real life in 2005 according to the broadcast.
Was only able to cut inside, at the end.. The competition was mostly a static picture in mirror. Never seen that before.. Grip=1.12 (AI=1.0) TireHeatMulti= still 1.1. There is a separate Ai path for a wet track. I knew it existed but have never edited it. I just had a look in the editor and found where to edit it. Something else to doAnd now, a bit bad news... In Raining,... AIl AI consistently turning into all curbs, early - thereby cutting the track.
No hurry, speednut357.. I knew there was something missing .. or not touched. But still fun to see the difference.There is a separate Ai path for a wet track....
Qualifying 1st in Raining, with Slicks...
I have updated the wet line and re-calculated the fuel usage. I also lowered the qual ratio back down. The qual and race ratios are still not perfected and need more work. Thank you for your help with testingPoebla Special, 16 lap STCC Race, no Qual : Three BMWs DNF w fuel problems !! No pit stop. Things getting nasty from Lap 9. Pretty good AI in the beginning. Later, started cutting corners. Next, laps w Pit Stop..
(edit : Poebla 2006, 18 laps, Qual 12th, same thing, very fast AI, two BMWs w fuel problems, DNF )
Do you mean more brake power for you or AI
