AI pitting/fuel

[Stan Mckeon]

I know this has been raised and I've tried to find some solutions but have come up empty handed so thought I would try here.

Having the issue that if I try to run an AI race following happens -
1. If I set tire consumption high (x3 or higher) no pitting happens. Is there any limit for tires, especially with AI where they will just go off the cliff/fail?

2. Fuel. Would be good to see cars pit at least for fuel, have tried suggested options such as creating ideal_line file and running quali so the cars can do laps and learn how much fuel they need but still seems to be some cars will pit, some cars wont.

3. Has anyone seen an app where you can force AI behaviour during a race eg force to pit/retire?

Cheers!!!

Any help would be appreciated.

AFAIK the AI will not pit for tyres alone. I have however had near on perfect success with fuel usage, the exception being if it's calculated wrong they will pit on the absolute last lap for fuel so I factor in a buffer allowing them to have more than enough fuel in the final laps.
