Disable DRS on AI cars

Good evening,

I simply cannot find a line or a parameter that i can disable the rear flap for the AI. When driving fISI or any other mod that uses the rear flap, they use the drs everywhere in practice, and if track is not set up correctly, they also do it on races, and its not enjoyable. Any way to prevent AI from use it? Thanks in advance.

 

Hi, related to the topic in General where you replied...

There's a "Rear Flap Zones" parameter in rfm (if you look into allcarsandtracks.rfm by unpacking allcarstracks.mas). By default it's set to race only (value 16), in the past I set this to 31 (meaning: all sessions) and the AI followed the DRS zones also in practice. To completely disable you might try 0 as value.

However, while this worked for me in B770, it didn't work in B982 on a first test. So maybe there's a new way to do it.

 

Hey mate,

Thanks for the help!

Unpacked the .mas file, but there are no parameter for rear flap zones..

The next question would be, if the rfm entries will be overwritten by the gdb entries.

The easiest way would be, to have a checkbox in the Tracks-settings screen in game, named e.g. "disable DRS" and default setting: checked.

 

Okay, it appears it is a parameter I added myself. I'll pick out the exact syntax later.

 

For some reason today it works. On a clean install, with my custom RFM I created in Build 770 and just copied into 982.

The two lines I added previously, right under "RaceTime" are:

RearFlapWetThreshold=0.5 // maximum track wetness allowed for rear flaps to be used (any session)
RearFlapZoneSessions=31 // allowed sessions, added together (1=test, 2=practice, 4=qualifying, 8=warmup, 16=race)

So basically the second one tells the game to use the "Zone Rules" in all sessions, not just in Race (default would be 16). That is basically the 2013 ruleset and works fine for me with my 2013 mod. From my understanding if a track has no zones defined they will not use it at all if this setting is active, but you could also try to set a 0 there and see if it takes out the DRS completely even on tracks with permitted zones.

 

Wow thanks for this, will try it tonight!

Let me know if it works with 0 or 31.

I'm still weirded out because I know for sure with the same file, at a different computer, yesterday I had cars coming off the start line in a race with flap open. Totally weird behaviour. Today everything does work...

 

Ok, so with 31 or 0, they will use DRS only in the DRS zones, but on a track with no DRS zones, they will use everywhere, only tested on practice.

RFM, from the new build.

What you can try to disable DRS, that maybe works for tracks without defined DRS zone(s) is, to put the following lines into the rfm:

RearFlapZone
{
MinimumCrossings=9999
TimeThreshold=1.0
DetectionLapDist=1
ActivationLapDist=2
DeactivationLapDist=3
}
