AI tapping the brakes

Boby Kim · Jul 5, 2018

Racing the GTR3 pack with the Endurance pack GTR3 cars, i notice that AI is tapping the bakes mid corner. They are the only AI cars with this issue. Will there be an AI update?

I do not think this is limited to the GT3 or GTE class, this is inherent of the AI. Why they do it, no idea

I am not sure either, but what I gathered from devs comments on that subject, is that AI can only fully accelerate or brake, no modulation, so the only way they can drive is accelerate 100% or brake 100%. The difference with us is that they can switch from accelerate to brake and back much faster than us.
In SIMs where the physic used by AI is a world apart from what the player use, it is not so noticeable, but on better SIMs it is very obvious, you can also hear it form engine noise.
This is how I understand it.

It would be nice if they put a little piece of code to not turn on the brake lights if the AI is on the brake for less than half a second, as it sounds like they are tapping the brakes rapidly throughout the corner. That way you wouldn't notice this behavior.
