Sorry for the essay 😅

To get familiar with all F1 games, I always do a few single player GP races (full weekend on 100% distance) before starting a career mode.

During these GP races the AI (set at 90) has been quite fun and challenging to race with, making decent defence moves and attempting to overtake me.

I was also seeing quite a few errors made by them (ie lock ups, bad lines and a occasional spins) although I never encountered a safety car or VSC there was yellow flags and there was AI DNF's (one race has 5 mechanical failures but strangely no SC/VSC)

Over all a pretty good experience, once I finally figured out the new handling which was challenging and fustrating to get the hang of, but I do find myself enjoying it now.

So i start a career mode, I did one in F2 completed two races noticed a difference so made another one playing as lando

Both carrers was with 90 ai, SC, VSC & red flag set to standard and immersive. 

In the practice sessions I immediately notice a difference in AI, noting there are no mistakes or lockups, I continue through the weekend and get to the races, and the experience is totally different to the GP one.

Ai is just driving in circles fixed to the racing line (moving off to defend in the usual predictable mannor from previous games) and not a single mistake, yellow flag or DNF (obviously no VSC, SC or red flag either)

And the DRS chains are unreal:

In f2 the entire grid is just sticking in a single file line excluding the first 2-3 laps where i acually seen some good racing.

In F1 max flew away, alonso got from 6th to 2nd and then the rest of the grid was in a single file line from 3rd or 4th to 18th with basically no overtaking for an entire full distance race

Is the code different for career? 

And has anyone else noticed this?

Again sorry for the essay 😅

  • @poucowatty96 good about that about AI errors, DNFS and everything else, this will be fixed in the next update, that's what they say on their "updates" page. But this update is taking too long. I hope it fixes the F2 too because the F2 is ridiculous, you're not overtaking anyone, just the leader and the vice-leader who compete for positions, I know who it is in F2, it's very difficult to overtake even in real life but in the game there's no overtaking from the back squad this has to be fixed

    Remains the same today, 08/09/2024. It has not been fixed in any patch.

    Yes definitely not fixed. It's crazy how quick they are to tick things off as fixed when they clearly aren't.
