A simple question RE: AI

I used to assume they were the same and set my AI off of GP mode. I read somewhere that the AI for GP mode is set differently than My Team and Career but no idea where I got that from.

@AEF251
I thought it should be the same across all levels, as we always hear how hard it is to train AI around 1 track, so to have different AI across different game modes seems a bit of a stretch. I'm passing the weekly event at 90+ but can't win a race in GP mode on 75 in a Merc. So which AI do you think I should use in My Team, because I can't work it out?

I found the AI pretty consistent across all tracks but the street circuits where I need to drop it by 5 and I believe My Team and Career are close.

I would use the lower number and see if it seems realistic, you can adjust from there if you are too good.

OR

Be Verstappen or Hamilton’s team mate in career, allow the team to control the R&D and set the calendar so it starts at a race like Imola or Spain and see how you do compared to the best for that one race weekend. After the first race your car and your teammates start to differ more but maybe the second race is close enough you can use that results too. 

Then start your My Team based off that.

My AI is set at 70, should be probably 75 for races but that seems right for qualifying, except at Monaco, Azerbaijan, and Singapore where I need to drop it by at least 5 to feel more realistic.

Since I use full assists except for steering, DRS and ERS, my driving should be more consistent from track to track so it is easier to see the AI variations.

Ai is different in driver career and my team as all teams have 2nd driver facilities which all ai drivers  benefit from.  

Red bull, Mercedes’ and Ferrari all start with spec 2 so their drivers get plus ten to exp/racecraft/awareness/pace and focus boost 

When you start a career The ai drivers start with the boost to their ratings .  It doesn’t show on the rankings. But top teams drivers stats are pretty much 100 100 100 100

@ScarDuck14 

that means GP and the weekly should be the same?

@AEF251 

Just done Bahrain GP, Driver career and My Team modes on 75. Forgot to record the Driver career quali times, but the quali times aren't really my issue. It’s the GP AI/ GP AI tyre wear.

Finished 2nd in GP mode. Would have won both the other ones if it wasn't for a safety car glitch in my first driver career race. Where me and Sainz Pitted behind the SC, I had a problem removing the left front (don't mind that) which allowed him to get in front. But after the broadcast SC had ended, it decided Carlos was a full lap ahead of everyone else. But what I did not feel in either game mode was that the AI had better tyre's than me at any point, unlike GP mode.

GP 1st Picture, Driver Career 2nd, My team 3rd, all on 75. I started My Team at the top to keep it relevant.

GP mode isn’t part off any career progression.  So  gp mode doesn’t have any facilities or r&d applied 

what you see in gp mode in terms off cars performance ranking and driver rankings is what you get

So to be 100% clear, should My Team and Career have the same AI? Or is My Team tainted by the facilities for 2nd drivers while Career is not? If it is the same then a race or two of career mode could help set the AI. If not then it’s all just guess work.

I never understood why the cars diverged in Career due to you controlling R&D since teams do not really split their R&D but that’s for a different thread.
