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.
@Apophis-STR Yup, did the test in qualy session though I did skip outlap because I wanted consistent tyre heat, I'll do the test again when I have time without skipping and come back to you
Also, the AI is indeed faster in career and myteam, but from my testing, feeling, and from everyone from my discord, no one has issues with career, only myteam
I had the same issue, on the F2 career Mode. AI were much faster than me on the straights until I started to use 3 - 13 wings setup. When I used this setup I started to match their straight line speed, but I started to loose at the corners... So I had to reduce AI level by about 5-7%. Then I became competitive.
