Can someone please explain the AI drivers tyre strategy?

default setup!! There is only one!
But you´re indeed right: tyre compound is not included/respected with assigned setups!
Many people hope that this will change soon!

 

It's been three years since the last respond and i think it's still ignored, or not addressed by the developers. I have the same issue as you guys, the AIs pit 3 times on 25 lap race using only soft compounds and allowing me to jump 10 places while so. I bought this game for the realism it offers and it has some crazy options inside. Shame we can't set basic parameters like AI pit stops, it would make the game 100 times more playable and fun.

 

It should obviously be looked at, doesn't seem that hard to fix.

AI and tyres is a huge problem in rFactor 2, this and the lack of "setup modification" AI can work with.

Add to this different AI capabilities depending on tracks or cars and you will have the hardest time creating your own championship with credible results...
