AI gaining Massive Speed on the straights

@Apophis-STR 
Sure
My time:

Hulk's:

@nkzsry9q2v3n  Because how the power is currently delivered is hampering accelerating out off  slow corners compared to ai.  This is what the developers are working on.   And this is  also have a negative affect higher performance powertrain.  Because when your accelerating out off corner the higher power going to the wheels is harder to manage and it’s easy to either accelerate to hard causing some slippage or not hard enough and not putting enough power through the wheels for optimal acceleration. Either way your end up compromising your maximum speed

with a lower performance power train.  You have more margin for error. As the reduced amount off power it puts the rear tyres when accelerating is more manageable.  So you have a better chance off putting the right amount off power through the wheels and onto the track.  Giving better traction given you more chance off maximum speed.

im not a engineer I’m sorry if that sounds confusing:  Google how engines work 

the update will make it easier when accelerating then you will see a bigger gap between each power train 

@Apophis-STR here is my time in career mode with alpha tauri for comparison

Me:

Gasly:

@ScarDuck14 If what you said was the problem, I would feel and have the same issue in career mode with the Honda engine, which is not the case at all, I even put two engine power upgrade and still hold Gasly behind me on laptime and feel no problem putting the power down, this issue is specific to myteam.

Here even with the Honda engine, Hulk is gaining heaps of time on me, and I'm slower than in an alpha tauri.

@ScarDuck14I think I know what's going on here now that you've mentioned this.

I remember back in F1 2020, someone in the CM forum brought up the topic of how his MyTeam car drives like crap in his 2nd season compare to the first season on the same track (which I felt the same way)

I believe it was precisely caused by the same issue as we're all facing in F1 22 - Engine upgrades

What's happening is that the performance boost from PU upgrades (especially from manufacturer upgrades because they were all apply within a year or two and it stacks up) were just too great,, while the rest of the handling related parts still haven't quite catch up which in the end created a very unforgiving car, especially when you compare with your car in the first season.

In F1 22 the problem actually starts right from the get go, because we're already at near the peak of engine development (both in real life and in-game wise, notice all the manufacturer parts that are already installed?), yet the handling departments are still all in their vanilla form, which, once you've focus enough development on them, the wheelspin problem really did slowly fades away.

@nkzsry9q2v3nI haven't start digging into the files yet, but if F1 22 follow the same trend as 2020 & 2021, the engine which the real teams uses are actually different from the MyTeam ones (at least during their vanilla form), they all became identical when maxed out.

Back in the older games, the MyTeam PU (no matter which brand) actually starts with the exact same stat values as the best engine (which in those cases were Mercedes). The only thing that differentiates the MyTeam & Merc engine were the manufacturer upgrades, unless you picked the Merc, or else you'll have less parts pre-installed in your first season.

The other existed team's PU has their own unique stats and are actually weaker than the player's engine when no part is applied, it was their own manufacturer parts that helps them regaining the advantages. If you look at the performance comparison, you'll actually notice how if you pick Honda/Renault/Ferrari, your PU always starts out stronger than the AI (whose supposedly using the same PU as you) even if you didn't pick any engine related answers from the first interview.

Here's the thing, I'm not sure how much exactly the manufacturer parts alter the characteristic of their PU, it could be that they only gently improve the overall power/torque which made them a lot more forgiving because they already started out as less-torquey than the MyTeam's PU.

We still need more investigating.

@Apophis-STR I don't know, if it was true then the issue would be mitigated in a championship contender start with only aero/chassis, but I just made the test, the time loss is the same, I also checked the engine and it was the same upgrade wise to all the other tests I did.

Product: F1 22
Platform:Xbox Series S
Summarize your bug All Ai cars are overpowered on all straights they seem to gain like 5 -7 tenths on all straights
Which area is the bug/glitch in? My Team
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? In my team mode around all tracks
What happens when the bug occurs? On all straights the AI are overpowered and gain like 5-7 tenths even when pressing ERS they still gain time
What do you expect to see? The Al not at overpowered on the straights as I'm pushing to the limit but down the straights they gain so much time and I'm pressing ERS down the straights and they still gain so much time

‌

I'm having trouble with the AI being so overpowered on all the straights in my team mode they gain like 5 -7 tenths on straights even when Im pressing ERS to get away they still gain how much time.

Is anyone else having this problem with AI being overpowered on the straights? 

I've done 1.05 patch and they are still overpowered down every straight

You know @Apophis-STR last year, when there was the high was too fast in high speed corners, someone actually pulled out the input data from the ai to show where they gained time, with throttle and all, if we could do the same, we might be closer to an answer.
