AI Gears/Shifting

mungopark · Apr 24, 2020

In some of my mods, the AI does not use all gears available. For example, the cars offer 6 gears, but the AI just uses five. Not a big thing on tracks with short straights and many corners, but in Monza or the old Hockenheim layout, it is a mess. They reach the rev limiter of their 5th, and that's it, they do not shift up to 6th and can not go fast on the long straights.
Any advice, how I can change this?

Is this the 92 mod?

... Try decreasing the gear ratios in the HDV. I normally drop the 6th ratio by a value of 2, and the 5th by 1.

yeah, this mod is one of them.

thanks, decreased the ratio of all gears and now they use their 6th. still slow on long straights, i think because they use standard setups and have no low downforce car.

How fast do you want them to go? I can have a look tonight and make them go to that speed.

they go about 300 km/h on long straights in old hockenheim. in slipstreams a little more. cars were much quicker there back then. but nevermind.

I can create two different HDV for you no problems, but you'd need to find someone to create a upgrades.ini file or edit the pre existing one to make the cars use the specific high speed HDV file. I think there are RF forums on it. Either way it can be done.
