I had always assumed, for the past 3-4-5+ years, that the priority for AC's community development should be:AI started creating weid things with the fastlanes about a year ago. Monaco 2017 used to be flawless and for whatever reason cars started to hit the walls. When the AI cars were going to Interlagos ACU pit (I use this mandatory pitstop system in my seasons) they started to hit the barrier before the pit. Also not even Kunos F2004 did stay on the track on Kunos Nurburgring GP lap.
Then you have these pitlane things where cars started to crash to the walls in uncontrollable fashion (when returning to the pit).
All these things started to happen out of the blue.
I don't know if these are CSP or CM related but those stopped my interest in modding. It could be CM too with some "new AI setting" being a default now?
Being a F1 enthusiast I switched to F1 2020 and F1 2021 to get my fix. I haven't even loaded up any F1 mods because of these new issues. No idea whether the problems still there or not though.
Personally, I don't care about graphics at all. 0.179 and SOL was good enough for me already. But those AI fastlane and other issues are horrendous and should be the main priority.
- Rain/Wet Weather Physics. Don't even worry about AI yet, just get wet weather physics for the player in a usable place first.
- Online Netcode/Server Browser redesign to drive online play/concurrent users, currently too clunky and dated
- AI driver behavior and consistency. This includes believable wheel-to-wheel behavior, "human"-like mistakes/crashes (something he's begun to fiddle with), proper blue flag behavior (both of the passing and passed car), and very basic in-car methodology ("tyre management" mode, "qualifying" mode, "outlap" mode etc.).
- very basic pit strategies for longer single-player races. pretty nuts that CSP still doesn't have this.
That's it. Everything else should really not matter too much.
But I was wrong. We are clearly in the minority. There just must not be that much demand for these seemingly basic features.
