Re: Regarding AI and the Difficulty

I’ll add…. plenty off years developing engines has them at peak performance.  But in real F1 They still struggling to reduce weight and can’t even fully  solve porpoising which has been around for decades when using ground effect.   If hundreds off millions and best Engineers and aerodynamicists along with the worlds tip off the sword drivers haven’t found the meta.  And as the developers obviously draw on what is known about the handling physics on actual f1 cars.  They can’t if there is still limited information 

I’m a different cat than most. I drive with TC, automatic, and full brake assist. The AI in past games were all over the place but averaged around 80. I am using the suggested pre set set up this year, previous games I worked out the fastest set up.

This year the AI has been pretty solid at 60 for qualy and race everywhere except Singapore. The qualy AI was a bit too fast. Everywhere else it seems to work. In My Team the AI is a bit different than in GP mode, not sure why.

@AEF251  It’s along to do with r&d upgrades on cars and 2nd driver facilities that boost all ai.  Not to mention the ai driver ratings go down for old guys and up for youngsters.

Then im pretty sure game is scripted to check your progress.  As the biggest criticism off my team had been you can max out car and win both championships in 2nd or 3rd season in 2020 and also in 2021.  But from hundreds off careers. And knowing the quickest route to upgrading my car.  After the midway point off namely first season.  If your doing well by consistently performing better than your rankings suggest.  Every R&d upgrade will fail first time. Especially durability so you wear out parts and pick up penalties.  And  then if that doesn’t slow you down. The rain would come race after race but only at the worst possible time for us humans.  And then if your still pushing forward. The game activates  extreme rubber kamikaze bending.   And I’ve watched countless  replays from ai cockpit  cam.  I’ll be defending on the inside. Ai comes up on the outside and As soon as ai car was close enough for no apparent reason you would see the steering sharply rotate right and drive into you.   But it’s stupid because we also have flashbacks and other assists. So if the game cheated then so would I. Which killed any sense off enjoyment.

I found if you crashed out off a few races.   And also took new parts the game didn’t go bonkers mental. 

But as I pointed out in a discussion with Codemasters.  That  I understand t99.9% off people only play through once or twice and wouldn’t pick up on it.  And I’m the only idiot that plays my team obsessively but  even so  for 80+ difficulty any game scripts and cheats shouldn’t be active as ai represents a challenge in its self. 

Codemasters never acknowledged that game cheats, scripts were used in game.  As no developer admits to using them but they do and they know we know they do. Etc etc
