A.I much faster on the straights.

Recommended Posts

China is crazy, Im 1 second quicker in the 1st and 2nd sector then I lose a second in the 3rd. The balance is just well off. This is causing the race pace to be off too at all tracks. No fun qualifying on pole then losing position after position during the race due to their super straight speeds! Come on Codemasters!

I just finished a 100% race at Melbourne, and although I've been caned on straights before in a Mercedes with a near-zero wing setup, I have to admit this particular race really seemed to reward me for exiting the last corner just right.

Even with DRS, cars chasing me were unable to pass me. I was driving a Ferrari, and only the Williams and Mercedes cars posed a threat.

One thing I've noticed, as others have too, is the difference in performance on straights from lap to lap.

I'm currently experimenting with trying not to "overrev" the engine through the rest of the lap, and see if that makes a difference.
I've noticed this in a Merc at Mexico. Quite scary how different your speeds can be. Needs sorting.

it's setup bug! you need to impore to max the downforce and make full rigid the chassis, you take more speed (1 sec. evvery lap)
same bug of f1 2012, THANKS CM!!!!

This happens online too. So some players can just drive away while your just stranded with a few others. It's like being in a Le Mans class race... Except the classes aren't divided by skill, they are divided automatically. This is the only time in any racing game I've ever been forced to play around at the back. I can accept losing fairly but this is just completely unfair and not even giving a chance to compete.

If it actually has to do with settings like some people are suggesting then why would it be when I've confronted people being slow or fast they have confessed to never changing a single thing?

Game is outright broken. Even more so than 2014. But at least you could race in that. Well some of us can still. Just it's been selected for us somehow.

No joke, while lapping a Manor in season into a corner, it just breezed right by me on the following straight like I was just simply pushing the car.

Same problem here on ps4. They so much quicker on straights. I've tried everything for past 3 days. Malaysia last section is too quick same with Australia and China. Hope they fix this otherwise it's a great game. Set ups is really confusing.

I also found this to be true, the AI are faster in straights than I am. Manors keeping up with my Mercedes in Sepang on the back straight drove me up the wall.

Hey guys ive just find a clue to be faster on straights on PS4 !!! YOU NEED TO CHANGE CONTROLLER SETUP TO BRAKE/ACCELERATE ON ANALOG STICK -NOT R2/L2 !!! This is because the first lineup on dual shock 4 was not good prepare..
