AI gaining Massive Speed on the straights

On my team in Mexico on new warm soft 0.2 secondes behind Charles and 0.9 seconds in front of Lewis on cold mediums, i had drs open ers active and we were not even pas the pit exit or Charles already was already a second ahead and Lewis passed my like i was standing still. This game is a joke. So many bugs i think they never tested this game.

Actually this looks massive. We would need to know the AI level but mostly the setup used especially about wings, according with David Greco the AI should use 8-18 (the default for Austria) and make the comparison, or ask to try again maybe with the same setup. I am still a little behind with the new game, in the next days I will do some tests personally with the AI.

I’m on a pad and use TC and I still have this issue, it’s not to do with TC

Basically engine is delivering to much torque through gears 1-4/5 esp for pad users.  Tc off means power is wasted due to wheels spinning as it’s almost impossible with so little travel on the throttle.  Even with 100% linearity.  With tc on, means power is wasted as it’s reduced to stop wheels spinning.  Once the torque update comes out.  Both issues will be dramatically improved. However apparently update won’t be here until mid August 😡

Also med tc will be unpredictable and you may find unpredictable  rear end snapping.

Update

I may be wrong as I haven't directly raced AI yet, still learning the game, setup etc. but I did some easy test around Bahrain in which I'm currently training and here the results:

• AI default setup at Bahrain has wings 8-18 (AI110 1:27.8 - .9 in Quals)
• the current Playstation WR no aids  25-21 (1:27.2 TT)
• my current setup is 26-23 / 26-22 (1:28,0 TT)

Having saying that just some speed test in the main straight during a Qualifying session:

• AI (8-18) with Red Bull 330-331 km/h
• myself with RB using the same setup as AI (8-18) 330-331 km/h too
• my setup (26-22) 322-323 km/h as in TT, it means a bit more than 1 tenth lost at the end of the straight

According to this the speed itself would be ok, so the issue would look very related to the default setup which runs too low wings and cannot be used by the human player (I tried 8-18 but the car is very lazy in the corners).

If that's right the story should be different track by track, for example at Monza the default should be 5-15 if I well remember, while I run 0-0 in Time Trial, not sure it will be equal to my future race setup but not expect to go higher than 1-1 or 2-2 so I should be much faster than AI in the straight this time.

Anyone can confirm this?

@DavidG53 don't know if it's your matter and/or do you think presets may be modified to be "more similar" to human setups?

Thanks and bye,

@Nuvolarixyes well, if you are changing the setups, the ai isn't.. if you run 10 more wings than ai, well, you will be having different top speeds.

We are definitely looking into everything that has been written here, and any news concerning this will be done via official communication.

Thank you David, yes I know, besides it's not totally new stuff imho, also in the past games the AI wings were tipically quite low and they were strong in the straights, especially in some track where you had to run high wings setups to be competitive. At the contrary the different presets of this year should be an improvment but I'm currently not able to say if there is "something more".

 The issue isn't traight line speed, it's acceleration

And from my tests the time loss in myteam scales with the engine used

A car with renault engine loses 0.3 secs, 0.7 for rb, 1 sec for ferrari.

@nkzsry9q2v3n  It’s because Renault isn’t delivering as much torque to the wheels when accelerating out off slow corners. Making accelerating more manageable less wheelspin or less bogging down if using tc.  I’ve been using Renault in my team that’s put me lower in performance rankings this making practice programs easier and although qualifying pace isn’t great. Race pace is good 

@ScarDuck14  And again I don't think this is it, I have no issue in career, and people from all skill level who made the same test as I have seen similar results, if it was torque, then career and gp cars would be affected, but this is NOT the case, only myteam has this error
