Love the AI aggression! Amazing how far you’ve made it come comparing to the vanilla game.

thanks bro! I am removing unnecessary braking points on every track - we can literally go flat out on those turns, so why can't the AI's do same thing?

since the first Halo chassis was added to this game, the modding on F1 2014 (and maybe 13, 12 too) has reached a new level. not just in terms of chassis modifications and implementation, but on other aspects such as more advanced AI driver adjustments and better visuals as well. track modifications are being intensively looked into, as well.

I have now made the option for the rev lights to go from center outward instead of left to right.

Colors need to be rearranged for it to make sense, but the functionality is there!

I made three new rev light configurations. Quick video linked. If there is interest, I'll release a standalone mod.

Edit: mod released!

So guys, I've found out my own way to prevent the AI's from braking too excessively at the inside line of corners (and they are really aggressive). This method is still being optimized, so can't share with you just yet. Editing the 'gates' like @snthennumbers said, doesn't help much.

Spoiler:

You can find what he said here: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/true-to-life-ai.1050/

I'll keep you updated with my video recordings. For now, I'll prioritize editing the AI's braking points first.
Here is a recording of Abu Dhabi: (my driving is not the best I've done)

originally (F1 2013) the AI's are brake-checking each other really often at this corner, causing multiple DNF's, especially at the first lap. they NO LONGER behave like this anymore.

originally (F1 2013) the AI's are backing off too much at the inside of the Tamburello chicane, really annoying. now they can really send it and overtake.

Here we go boys! No more Australia TURN 1 problem!

In normal racing circumstances, the AI's didn't use to have enough aggression when taking corners or making maneuvers on other cars. Perhaps because of this, there are so many players who are always trying to murder and/or erratically block the AI's.

With my massive revamp, they do have "the balls" to take corners a lot more aggressively and can even cause great deal of damage on the player's car if not careful.

Hopefully my massive AI driver revamp will warrant some sort of punishments on erratic-driving players and encourage fairer racing.

just for fun:
