AI gaining Massive Speed on the straights
It’s like they have DRS the whole race
Forum Discussion
To be honest, after about 100 hours of playing and getting used to the physics, I personally think the issue isn't as significant as I've felt from the beginning. At the moment I've been running only 100 AI and finished about 10 100% distance races (from two 2 different careers), the only tracks that I felt completely eaten up by AI were Imola and Spain (so far). But the thing is, I at worst still finished 11 with the second/third worst car while my teammate (Sato) consistently finished 16 or worse and was only faster than me at Imola and Spain (but ruined by bad strategy).
My experience with the AI is that their pace seem to be periodic, usually at the beginning of each stint and the final lap are where they're at the strongest, but in the middle of those periods their pace could sometimes drop like falling off a cliff, especially after they're under pressure for a bit. I felt that their acceleration is kind of just how on point the AI uses their ERS combined with the tire differences in lots of cases, with some good setup, preservative driving, and clever usage of ERS you could match their pace pretty well.
I've also found out that in this year's physics, you can't rely on short shifting too much because the acceleration gets bog down quite significantly at low rpm, which kinda gave you an illusion of fixing the wheelspin but is actually you going very slow off the corners, and the sudden kicks-in of power sometimes actually made the wheel spin problem even worse and unpredictable.
@Apophis-STR Nice post: As vast majority off people who play this game will use pad. Me being one: I’d really like to see more controller settings. Most pad users will use either medium or full TC, ABS and the big one for me is auto gears if I use manual gears for any length off time results then stiffening up then agony. Think it’s actually a result 40 years off gaming.
I’d love Adjustable final drive or something like lean mode as it short shifts in auto. When you could select it during race: made car so much easier to manage in the rain.
Engine braking option and being able to adjust amount off wheel slip if using TC: They more accessibility options rather than assists. For old broken or braking folk such as myself.
I used to always be play multiplayer games dominating all no matter the game when online became big during ps3 era. But now I’m old and slow I won’t go anywhere near any multiplayer game. Just the thought off getting beaten and killed and teabagged over and over by kids who’s things havnt dropped is humiliating
for me it’s not about getting good anymore it’s more about slowing down how quickly I get worse
- @ScarDuck14 I'm using the Xbox One X controller for the PC version, here's my setup to see if it helps (I've been using this exact setup since F1 2020):
Steering Deadzone: 0
Steering Linearity: 15
Steering Saturation: 5
Throttle Deadzone: 0
Throttle Linearity: 50
Throttle Saturation: 0
Brake Deadzone: 0
Brake Linearity: 45
Brake Saturation: 0
This game definitely requires a lengthy period of getting used to, but it's almost the same situation for each installment.
I still remember my first time playing F1 2020 as a self-proclaimed competitive Forza veteran, that game hits me hard in the nut and made me almost gave up. It literally took me an entire week just to kind of tune in with the physics, but at least I eventually got it and has been really enjoying everything this series threw at me lol. @Apophis-STR Thanks fella. Almost identical to mine. Big issue is. (Admit I first thought it be just a gmmick) No trigger feedback. After 900 hours in 2021. Im now hardwired and expect my triggers to push back. Only realise now I haven’t got it. How great they are when working
but shhh got a man on the inside😜 he’s got the Meta controller settings. He’s says they aren’t meta but hands down better than any you tube guru could come up with.
🙄
Chill people he will post them for everyone. As he did last year . Think they will be posted when the torque patch comes and hopefully trigger patch
