AI qualifying train in the last 2 minutes
Do the AI all rush out in the last 2 minutes of qualifying for everyone else? They end up creating a massive bunched up train of 19 or 21 cars yet somehow end up posting their fastest times of the s...

@matty0blobber It’s probably more straightforward to code it as it is. I’m sure the devs would like to make it feel more realistic and balanced but they don’t get the time and resources to get everything in the game how they and we would love see and experience. Only have to look at the amount of bugs every game has at launch.
@ScarDuck14
Yeah maybe but they seem to get the AI to behave okay on their opening Q flying laps or even formation laps in a race, I don't see why they couldn't figure this out too.
Qualifying is important in F1 so it should be represented well in game especially for street circuits like Monaco, so it needs to be polished like the race itself imo.
Not having time to make qualifying realistic in a F1 game feels wrong thats all.
The next time you guys do a qualifying session just watch the AI on the track map when they post their last time and you'll see what i'm on about, seeing it for 1000th time gets a bit much and feels silly for whats meant to be a sim.
- @matty0blobber I only do one shot. I prefer the jeopardy of getting just one lap. More satisfying to me if I get pole. As slightly messing up costs half dozen or more palaces
I am pretty sure everybody notices it is 100% obvious
I admit I don't think there are many players who play like us - fully qualif. -
I would say only 10% (I am saying random stuff, but I suspect so) play full or even single day qualif.
they usually do 1 lap (or skip it)
But out of the 10% that I am sure everybody noticed it because it is impossible not to, and still, you seem to be the only one complaining about it.
don't get me wrong, the more realistic, the better, but I doubt it is an easy fix that would take a lot of coding and behavior modeling for AI for it to happen. For 1 person complaining about it, I don't think it is going to happen.
Don't get me wrong, If they remove 1 lap qualify and 1 session only qualifies, and all people "have to" play full realistic qualification, I would say the problem would be seen by everybody, and there would probably be more reason to try to fix it. It's just a matter of worth: time invested to fix it, money spent for those devs, and real improvement for % of people in the game.
Games are business. They are not our dream come true usually/unfortunately ☹️
Honestly, I am supporting you; I totally agree it is weird and unrealistic, but I would wish they use every second of their time to actually better/deeper "myteam" than fix qualifications. Devs' time is limited.
@pekish79
I'm not demanding they fix it now just for me mate haha, I purely asked if anyone else here is aware of it and if they think it is silly too regardless of their opinion on coding.
I'm aware there are more important things to fix hence why I put it in the discussion section and not the bug section.
Christ I know FFB and many other things need sorting before this but I wasn't asking for that was I.
All I do is speed up time to avoid seeing it but if i need to put in a late lap i'm forced to drive behind a slow moving train of AI and it shouldn't be that way.Yeah, I just speed up too toward the end. But I never felt it was a big problem as long as the big name still came in the higher position. I would hate to see Verstappen 11th or other strange happening because of some weird condition on the pit they couldn't model well. And if they don't code it right It would kind of happen often probably not once every 20 races
- @pekish79 But from a my team story standpoint I wouldn't mind one of the top 6/8 finishing low every now and then for some drama otherwise it gets boring.
I am torn about it. it would be nice, but I fear if they code something like that, it would happen too often and make it weird
maybe an option to allow it or not in the setup like "Heavy possible traffic on/off" ahahah (just to make it even harder for them to code they have to code it twice)
