Fyi the "surface only" setting only sets the carcass temps always to optimal 🙂
- Meza9943 years agoSeasoned Ace@ScarDuck14 For dry yes, for wet its exactly that point when they are lower than optimum temps.. But it shouldnt be a big problem, unless you are running minimum pressure you will almost never be 15° below optimum temps so the surface temps wont make a big difference but they could if you ran lowest pressure in a wet Baku..

I had a race which went from intermediate conditions to full wet and the Ai stayed out on intermediates without losing any tyre temperature or time whereas I didn’t have the traction to drive fast enough to keep any temperature in my tyres so was over 3s a lap slower.

- ScarDuck143 years agoLegend@Meza994 Having temps set to surface only means….. pump up the tyres. I never run minimums. 23.50 Front and 22.00 rears are my go to
- Meza9943 years agoSeasoned Ace@VibrantMass616 They build up to that temp and then stay there, no matter what which is obviously wrong, as well as them staying out but thats not always wrong, i know usually transitions from inters to wet dont take long but sometimes it doesnt really get to full wet in the game, IMO there are wetness levels that trigger the AI going to full wets.. Just like a race i just finished, all on inters, half the field pits for another set of inters only to pit the next lap for full wets..
I think we all agree that the wet is busted for a couple of reasons.. - SexyBrigadeiro3 years agoSeasoned Ace
Well, as everyone can see, the main issues about the wet races are all related to 2 of the 3 things I mentioned before:
- The player (still) does NOT have the option to turn wet races OFF in career modes (something we've been asking for years)..
- The AI can keep their tyre temps at the ideal range just fine, while the player's tyres will get too cold or too hot, making it even harder to keep control of the car and be competitive (it happens on dry races too, but it gets even worse in wet weather)..
Plus how OP the AIs still are in the game, in so many aspects, where they are programmed to ignore the 'game physics rules' and do things the player just can't..
Also as I said, I understand there are people who actually like to drive/compete in the wet and that's fine, but we should REALLY have the option to turn wet weather OFF for the career modes, so the big number of players who doesn't like to drive/compete in the wet and the other AI related issues could be avoided.
I honestly hope they give us this option at least in future games (although I think they should - and could - add it NOW to F1 22 already)..

Last years game it rained far to often. But at least I could race the ai without changing the ai or assists to be competitive.
This year it hardly rains which is great… But when I start a race weekend and see rain. My first thought is to simulate the race.. but no I carry on as usual and get to the race and wished I simulated the race before crashing out on purpose

If the race starts dry and changes to wet you can always adjust the race distance so you only get the dry part.
I am definitely using surface temperatures only for any race or qualifying session in the wet now, it’s the only wat to compete at the same level as the AI.
