AI..HMMMMM

Recommended Posts

I think the word intelligence should be left out here. Why do they constantly go for gaps that aren't there and therefore ruining your race.

And we still get the penalties...Please, please fix this. it's ruining a great game.

If an AI car has gone for a gap on the inside because the player has left the door open and then the player tries to make the apex without leaving any room for the AI car then the penalty is very much justified. It happens in real life, if someone goes for a dive then the other driver leaves space to accommodate for it. Sucks for the driver being overtaken but it's a great move by the overtaking driver.
The only part of the AI that actually needs fixing is when they occasionally come out of your slipstream too late and backend you. Their aggression in overtakes absolutely does not need changing! Best AI in any recent racing games in terms of actually racing the player.

I agree for the most part but the gap I'm talking about is on  the outside down the back straight of Canada.

And I mean I am right on the line approaching the chicane and it was rosberg everytime trying to squeeze between me and the wall..all good except you couldn't get a tyre down there let alone a whole car.

Try racing against human drivers they will try the same thing even the "respectable" league racers.

AI are actually racing this year rather than just conceding positions which is a good thing. They just have to get the blue flag detection system working. The AI does get out of the way if the game detects them as being lapped but if you watch the track indicator lights and marshals they don't always turn blue when they are supposed to, the lights not the marshals. :)

Read what I typed.

I said the game doesn't detect the cars as being a lapped car it is not that the AI doesn't get out of the way because when they are detected correctly and the blue flag (and light) are there they do.

But when the the blue light/flag is working (as well as when it is not) the AI (which you seem to like) DRS's you after you have passed them. 

I notice there is a new patch just gone live so this may not apply: AI behaviour is unacceptable especially in F1 racing. Heck, it would not even be acceptable in NASCAR.
