2021 AI skins and rosters:
www.tradingpaints.com/collect...
Tracks iRacing needs still if you wanted a full "proper" IndyCar game:
St. Pete, Toronto, Nashville
Tracks iRacing has that need AI added still:
Belle Isle
Tracks iRacing has already, AI for, and that the real series should have:
insert most every major oval you'd like that still exists
Features missing:
Honda/Chevy engines (they only have one, forget which it was in the iRacing car), qualifying rules, not sure the AI actually uses P2P, rain, FCY on road courses
When you consider it's not an IndyCar game nor tries to truly be one, it's really pretty dang close.
With some tidying up the AI balance and cold tires so the season functionality would be viable I'd actually want to run an offline season for once - could make a really solid "best of" calendar given people not showing up to oval races isn't a problem in a video game...

I feel like iRacing is coming together as a better and better general-purpose sim. If only you didn't have to pay for the online services to race offline.

@christopheralfveby9472 2 года назад

Exactly, I’d pay $100 for all the ai content. One time fee, no subscription no online racing but for whatever reason they don’t seem interested in additional revenue streams.

@Sturmovik1946 2 года назад

@@christopheralfveby9472 It's because everything, including the AI, are delivered as a live service. They constantly get updates, new tracks, and are implemented on new cars. If iR released the AI in it's current state as a standalone purchase, it would be very incomplete. Plus, from a pricing standpoint, I'm pretty sure we are well over the $100 mark for all the AI content (tracks + cars).

@artslap7520 2 года назад

I agree about being offline, they could easily change this and only enforce compulsory updates if you wanted to race online. On the other hand, I think the ongoing improvement of the sim as a whole warrants the annual fee. I get the arguments in paying for extra content, but if these fees are used (as they seem to be) to make new cars/tracks/features then I understand the payment model.

Been having a blast with the IndyCar AI as well! I've also seen/noticed basically all the same things that you had complaints with, I mentioned the cold tires thing on the forums too so hopefully that gets improved. Also I'm one of the people that re-subscribed to iRacing just to race AI offline. I don't really race online in general, but the iRacing AI is so much better than what any other sims have to offer at the moment, and with how many types of cars are getting AI support, I get more than enough use out of iRacing for it to be totally worth it just for the AI. It's really the only sim I've even touched the last few months

@BillyStrangeAutoModels 2 года назад

The AI in iRacing is such a unique discussion on a principle level as well as a financial one. I agree, someone should not get iRacing solely for the AI because the financial part of it is crazy (and they don't even have all the tracks for indycar). But...if someone was super into Indycar and they want a more authentic experience than anything around, maybe the allure of off-line and on-line racing is worth it? I don't know, it's a tough sell and I'm not sure there's one right answer for it. I do appreciate that AI is an option though.

@mikekadlcak1963 2 года назад

They could at some point disconnect the offline AI racing from the online paying experience .. I mean who wants to race AI only would still buy the content anyway but wouldn't have to pay the online sub. I would welcome that option. :)

@emmanuelsantiago6641 2 года назад

I'll be honest I've pretty much raced AI only since spring of last year and I've enjoyed it and felt like I've gotten my monies worth ten fold. Then again I utilize the seasons like a career mode and progress through them, but it's been great. Only thing that sucks is that everytime a new season comes out I have to readjust my ratings and it takes 2 or 3 weeks to tweak good, but it's been awesome

@Apasher17 2 года назад

This makes me wish that iRacing had a separate pricing model for single player/offline mode. Say, you pay a fixed price for the car and a select number of tracks limited to single player only, and then if you want to branch out to multiplayer you pay for the subscription. I think this is an idea worth considering, because you're not gonna get this kind of IndyCar experience in any other sim. ESPECIALLY on ovals.

@sanghelian 2 года назад

or to make the singleplayer portion more of a traditional free to play title. You only would have to pay subscription to access multiplayer racing, otherwise the free content would actually be free, and you get to pick and choose what to buy, same as now but use them with AI.

@MrPens87 2 года назад

Matt, great video! I will be completely honest, I resubscribed Black Friday and while I love the idea of racing online. I am not that great and don’t always like the idea of racing online. I really tried hard with race room but there was not enough bad people for me to enjoy it. Most games I have the difficulty set to about 85 so I get blown out by above average drivers. Until I can gain the confidence, I’m not entirely too comfortable online and prefer offline. I live in Indy and grew up a IndyCar fan so finding out iRacing added INDYCAR AI, is music to my ears and I’ll be buying some more content to race a AI season this weekend. Have you tried Indy yet? Both GP and Oval?

@StuM91 2 года назад

I love the AI in iRacing (when they aren't stupid). Online racing is great, but sometimes I want to either switch off and not worry about ruining someone else's race, or run a series that doesn't have good participation in times I can make. Just wish they would add the remaining road courses quicker.

@FukU2222 2 года назад

fiddling with race (car/track/AI difficulty/aggression) is something I struggled with when I dove into Assetto Corsa more seriously than merely drifting around and/or swapping engines to/fro other cars w/ the car edit tool... The thing I loved about AC was the Content Manager application. I was a little on the fence about installing some third party software for a ''content manager" but it's so nifty, can save all kinds of setups/things. That being said, I miss SIM racing, fell back down the rabbit hole that is MMOs (WoW specifically (even more specifically VanillaPlus)). I'll have to do something about that....

@RoundnRound 2 года назад

I was against AI being added but Totally with you. I posted a GT3 Porsche race at Bathurst to RU-vid this weekend. Ran with AI and had an amazing race. Had to fight for every position and forgot I was racing AI What I loved, and find with online iRacing - I didn’t have to worry about the dive bomb and found I was racing harder than I would in a ‘real’ race. I get frustrated racing in small grids or finding out the race will be unofficial due to lack of entries so racing to my schedule with AI is a winner. One question - can you post a video on how to download and use skins and names for the whole grid….. only know how to do my car!!

@noahroth2992 2 года назад

Is it possible to adjust the Ai difficulty between sessions? I've found it useful on rFactor-based titles to do practice, adjust the Ai with big swings in the difficulty if needed, then do Qualifying and adjust as needed, then after the race adjust again and use that value to start practice of the next race, if that makes sense. If it's not an option it would be rather annoying to have to constantly enter and exit just to adjust the AI.

@donjezza 2 года назад

This is the big drawback, you can't adjust it as you go, you have to start a new session. It would be good to be able to set up a curve during the race, like they are 120 at the start and at pit stops but 80 for the rest of the race.

I’m confused on why you prefer Indy over NASCAR when it comes to track variety. I would say NASCAR arguably has the most diverse schedule in all of Motorsports. By 2024, they will have street circuits, short tracks, intermediates, superspeedways, road courses and a dirt track. Indy is mostly RC’s, some street courses and only a few ovals.

@Bobbarker23455 2 года назад

Die hard indy and nascar fan. I love indy a little more tho idk y i just do. its a fun amazingly competitive series.

@TacticalCardboard 2 года назад

Because this isn't nor ever has been the case before very, very recently. NASCAR for most of my life has been 2 road races in Cup and that's it. Meanwhile the days of IndyCar having an oval biased schedule even aren't *that* long ago, and the reasons for lack of ovals is more the fact people don't show up and the politics at hand. (case and point, Richmond just... vanishing during COVID times, never to be heard of again...) Worth pointing out as well: IndyCar currently has a similar amount of ovals as NASCAR has road courses, while having a schedule that's got half as many races. Proportionally, one series is much, much more balanced even though most of us IndyCar fans are screaming for more ovals. Not sure I'd argue the jump between Long Beach and IMS in an IndyCar isn't every bit as a world removed as going from Bristol Dirt to CoTA to Daytona.

@JReaLBiz86 2 года назад

If iRacing can get the rest of their AI to reach this quality, I'll finally cough up the money for the platform. Trying to race online in Assetto Corsa is just a headache unless it's Sunday, my PC isn't quite strong enough to run ACC, and the other sims I have don't have strong online presence. Most of the titles I can run have mediocre-at-VERY-best AI, and it gets tiresome racing them because they lack any race craft. Either they're just too slow, or way too aggressive around the player. That battle with Herta impressed me. And 2 cars were battling for position up ahead as well, and it looked believable. If they can create that across the board, they can have my money.
