AI gaining Massive Speed on the straights

If some of you are feeling adventurous, there is a mod out there that adjusts the straight line speed on race department.

It works, but I needed to up my AI level back to where it was last game, I was running at 80, so I bumped it back up to 90.

Here's what I'm seeing in a Solo Grand Prix. Note the AI are set to a difficulty of 1 😃

This is exactly, why videos are helpful. Thanks for sharing.

There is something wrong with your throttle. It goes only to ~70%. You can see this from the bottom in your HUD (green bar). It should go all the the way to the right. Please check your controller in calibration, there might be something wrong with it.

- I'm using no assists and default setup for Spa (whichever preset it auto-selects, which I think is 'higher top speed' preset 4).

 - To make a pass under DRS, I needed to use ERS from the exit of Raidillon down the entire straight, while having the tow while the AI didn't. And he still manages to start magically pulling away into a 9th gear at the end of the straight. Please note that I didn't run out of ERS in this clip - turned off ERS at 3%, but he started kicking into overdrive before I turned off ERS.

Not sure, if I get the isuue in this video. AI (Alpha Tauri?) has DRS as well and you basically go side by side. I think the other car in front of you is also too far to give you any slipstream.

Hello @EA_Hux , with a discord group which I'm part of, we did some testing, and it seems the issue lies with the my team mode, the my team car seems to be slower than expected, and people having issues in my team seems to do well in Career mode and Grand prix mode.

We are not sure if the issue lies with the ai or the car in itself, however it is reminiscent of an issue with the toro rosso car and honda engine from f1 2018, wherehas engine upgrades applied to the teammates and not the player. We think we have a similar situation here, it is possible that the game does not apply Factory engine upgrades to the player, but does it to every ai car, hence resulting in this straight line speed deficit.
On average, with a myteam car powered by ferrari or honda, the lap deficit is of around 1 second to the expected lap time.
Hoping that it helps pinpoint the issue !

@EA_Hux  i have played the game many times already on ps5 i dont have started a career mode yet because of this bug but i have played enough to know some things: the problem is worse on some tracks than others for some reason take miami just around the corner out of the chicane the ai is really slow in that corner but if you are near the end of the straight and out of the next corner by the start finish straight the ai gain massive speed for some reason and then in the likes of jeddah the ai are just too fast in a straight line i always could go from last to first in f1 2021 in an mercedes or red bull but this year on the same difficulty which for me is 82 i get no where near the front starting from the back in a red bull or ferrari starting from the back and no it is not my driving that i know for sure

@EA_rephii Here is another exapmle, recorded on equal preformance cars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adZi7k1RzkE

I use up about 40% of my ERS the entire straight while the car in front only uses about 15% of ERS.

90 AI and using the standard increased top speed setup.

Equal performance cars.

AI only seem to use 15% ERS while i use 40% of my ERS down the entire straight but i still can't seem to catch up.

@EA_Hux - You want examples, here is one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXvAGzFzQcg
