    Problem: AI drives through pits in rain instead of pitting. Some AIs successfully change tyres

    Repro: start Kart Junior session at Atlanta A layout (DX11) convert. Use attached .wet file for weather (rename .txt to .wet extension)

    Can you upload your replay where this happens?

    Ok Christopher, I'll capture the replay (will have to be next week as I sold my video card). What replay fidelity level do you need?

    I have an issue like this, but instead the AI will come into the pits for a fresh set of wets every few laps.

    If it is a rain start the AI will start on wets, which is good. However they will then pit every few laps (sometimes after the first lap) for a FRESH set of wet tyres. Confuses the heck out of me. I've checked the tbc file, and the tyre wear rate should have them lasting the same amount as hard tyres (about 30 or so laps). I've tested this on all tracks and all the ISI made open wheelers. I've asked for a hot fix for months now but nothing has come out of it.

    @Christopher Elliott as promised, replay:

    Additional problems I noticed:
    * In VR, I cannot see sides of my Kart Junior, like parts are missing.
    * There's some sort of poor texture filtering in Atlanta (I am using AF16). most visible in Sunny weather, on the grass in motion, 10am start time.
    * In Atlanta B layout, AI fails to exit pit area for formation lap (narrow gap), resulting in very entertaining pileup :)

    That's true, but we're not complaining about advanced things, like smart tactics in rain etc. The basics, like starting with right set of tires depending on RR condition, or conservative pitting can be fixed.

    I saw that too. If that happens with official content, it might help to report bug with replay attached.

    I've reported it many times over the past few times, but seems to be brushed off by others members of the forum because it is not a 'high priority' which is a shame. So I feel making another post just seems like a waste of time and I'm a little exhausted from this place.

    Edit: And yes it happens with official content. Particularly the FISI2012.

    Still has not been fixed.
