AI Improvement Progress - Community Feedback Requested
If I make the AI, at 100% AI Difficulty, do normal-ish cornering speeds & lap times at Belgium and Monza and Longford by increasing the AI tire grip by 3.5%, then AI lap times are too fast at Monaco where there's many more curves (and tough curves, too). Outside of the classic tracks, Lime Rock & Longford & Portugal seemed okay while Malaysia is like Monaco, with AI too fast, due to the very long decreasing radius turns. Note that one typically has to fiddle with AI Difficulty to find an ideal setting for yourself, but my thoughts are that you shouldn't have to turn it up to 115%-120% to have competitive AI. About 110% is what I consider a reasonable limit.
So the question for the community is whether you want to avoid turning AI Difficulty up 10% to get competitive AI at Monza & Belgium & Longford or if you prefer to turn it down 10% when you run Monaco?

RCD file progress for the AI has been excellent. They get off the line well, in an orderly fashion, and it's harder to bully your way through on the first two laps. On most tracks, they spread out fairly well, yet have drafting partners and dicing battles. Accidents taking out a chunk of the field occur much less often, though it can't be avoided at Belgium because a spinner at 120-130 mph in the first couple laps will collect the next few cars no matter what. At Monza, a spin in Parabolica tends to cause a knot, but doesn't take out the field unless a player blindly barges in. At this point, I'm fine-tuning the aggression and then I'll call it good.
