Setting ai to realistic lap times
I found a nice discussion on simracing setups which looks into real world quali laps v F1 game ai: https://simracingsetup.com/f1-2021-game/f1-2021-realistic-ai-difficulty/ This is for 2021, and I f...

I’m on 91 rating and it’s very realistic. Not sure in terms of times but Max is well ahead, then Sergio and Ferraris behind that with me (Alonso) and the Mercs behind them and after that is a mish mash every race (apart from Seargant and Di Vries).
Yeah, the reason I would like a "realistic" mode is role playing as a rookie, in a bottom team, or even a mid field team in career where your lack of skill would undoubtedly show.
I ran Bahrain at 80 last night to get a "feel" but the fastest lap in quali (for Max) was a 1.31. We know in RL Max did a 1.29 so that's a defo up to 90.
Gonna give it a go in MyTeam, but with the mid field start, no-one comes to F1 empty handed even as a new team we would have backers with the cash.
The point is even at 80 I qualified 7th. This just isn't right at all, so notching the ai up to 90 should have Max up to 1.29/30 and me down in anywhere from 12th to 17th which is about right.
I got a good start from 7th and only ended up with a "train" of cars behind me that couldn't, or wouldn't pass me. (something I think codies needs to address)
The point is to grow and develop as a driver over time, as the game should be.
- @BinkyStrider I roleplay like that in my head in Driver Career Mode but the games doesn't exactly help with the immersion so I often have to add limitations to the game mechanics, e.g. the upgrades are automatic (decided by the team), I don't move teams mid season if that's my first season with them, stuff like that. It is quite possible if you have the imagination.
Just tested a new MyTeam play on a midfield new start (so I can hire icons)
ai set to 90
Fastest lap quali Perez @ 1.30 (which is realistic)
I managed to get into Q2 but damn I had to drive like the devil.
Ended up going out 16th
But this is what I am looking for, my teammate was behind me in 19th.
Not bad, not bad at all.
The fight for the championship starts here.
I played several starting season in my team and progression is extremely fast I start as novice team and in one season I have the best car and practically unlock 70-75% of stuff
i felt that I had to use reduce RD money team exp and driver xp and do only 50% of the practice program to keep a decent speed and probably get to best car in 3 maybe 4 years
I tried to use increased RD and money for AI but it has a bug and give you more RD from practice program to the player too (weird bug)
I think they should heavily rebalance my team for 2024
