AI gaining Massive Speed on the straights
It’s like they have DRS the whole race
Forum Discussion
Did you do the testing in qualifying session, and in real time?
AI are known to just simulate lap times if (at any point of their hot lap) you use fast forward, skip to flying lap, skip to garage, or you crosses the finish line to end the session but with AI still running behind you on their final hot lap.
The problem is, simulated lap times are almost always faster than what the AI could actually do physically. So if you want a realistic representation of how they actually perform, you'll have to run them in real time and avoid using any of the features mentioned above during the duration of their hot laps. Fast forward just one section of the lap could have already significantly affect their actual lap times.
Another thing, AI are stronger in Career & MyTeam than in Grand Prix mode because of the hidden stat boosts from their own team's facilities. The further you're into the career, the stronger they will be, and the boost effect is actually really significant.
For doing testing in race session, I suggest everyone to run with fresh PU and only uses whatever default car setup that the game preset for you for every track.
@Dan78loki Right now if using medium TC I suggest turning it off or trying Renault in myteam haven’t used it myself yet. But it’s low performance may help manage accelerating.
Currently the amount off torque being sent to the rears is in effect overloading Medium TC. It’s only able reduce limited amount off engine power compared to full tc that cuts it all.
So currently it holding some torque which is slowing the car but then players only need add a tiny bit more throttle. Which it to much for medium tc. And all off a sudden you get higher amount off peak torque which is the reason medium tc users are experiencing instant spin surprise.
The torque update will help limit the amount off power medium tc has to deal with giving you more time to accelerate up the gears before your engine delivers peak torque
- @ScarDuck14 Thanks for the info mate
@Dan78loki I know little about coding and game physics and very little about car mechanics. But for 16 years and up until recently driving high performance cars was my living. But sadly at times above all was knowing my limits and the cars limits and never ever exceeding them. As doing either or both could very possibly result in me having someone’s death on my conscience.
understanding the difference between high bhp cars like big turbo old school Subarus and Evo delivered their power and why they are faster on public roads compared to high torque v8 German muscle.
And my instructor one my first physical lesson explained it like this. Bhp pulls and torque pushes. Being pulled along is easier to manage accelerating and decelerating on tight public roads. Which is why evo and Subaru would often outperform exotic super cars.
Because cars with high torque push and take little effort initially but once the engine is revving and the torque is freely flowing and the tyres are putting all off it down. Youve seen a long long way up the road some old boy driving at oldboy speed but torque doesn’t like being held back once it’s pushing and scrubbing speed is harder as engine braking is almost non existentt. However go to a track like brands and big torque dominates and all the big turbo street fighters are well and truly beaten
Sorry for those who don’t know me I suffer from insomnia and after a few days with out sleep my posts end up dragging on and on as I can’t focus on just one thing
- @ScarDuck14 Mate again I appreciate your Insight. I've done a lot of track days and even a rally one here and there. I also have owned a few quick cars but I'm getting older 44yrs. And I'm more careful now ha. Yes my AMG a35 isn't the quickest but I do love it so and 4wd. So I do get quick cars. But talk away I'm glad of your posts
