AI-drivers don't pit after first-lap crash

Post by SGroe »

At some self-built tracks, AI-drivers do not pit after a crash in the first lap. They enter the pits in the second lap instead the first one. Also cars with total damage drive past the pits in the first lap. I attached one of the tracks (work in progress) where this behaviour occurs. Is this a track-making error or a bug??

My game settings are:

Tyre wear: 15%
Fuel consumption: 12%
Fuel mass; 100 kg
Damage: 70%

How many laps is the race long?
Do they behave the same if the fuel consumption is set to 0%?

Race length is 10 km (13 laps on this circuit)

I just tested some fuel consumption settings (thanks for the hint :bg: ):

0% - Right behaviour
11% - Right behaviour
12% - Wrong behaviour
13% - Right behaviour

Therefore, the problem only occurs at a specific setting and I assume, this is a bug. James Burgess indicated in the feature request list topic, that the race settings will be reworked until the next version. Maybe the issue will be solved.

Now I will adjust the fuel consumption and continue racing ... :bsmile:

It's not bug. I see them pitting with 12% too. It may be strategic choice of AI - to run early laps with light damage to finish the race with not so high number of pit stops, they sometimes do this choice.

It is a mystery why your drivers are pitting... (or why my drivers aren't!!)

My AI drivers don't pit with 12%, also with full damage. This would be a very bad strategy. By the way, they always behave that way.

On some occasions the AI will pass by their pit line if they are damaged AFTER passing that point. They'll only pit for damage if they were mucked up BEFORE the AI pit line is nearby.
