Here is version 1.0 for DumbAI (needs CSP 0.3.0 preview 212 to work , with extended physics allowed)
In short, this app overrides the AC/CSP behavior for pit stop strategies and adds a blue flag behavior.
Used in a qualifying session, DumbAI ensures that bots will go on track after waiting a random amount of time, with the softest tyres compounds and fuel for only 5 laps, to perform a 3-4 laps run. Each bot maintains this loop while the session is not over.
Used in a race session, DumbAI first performs an assessment for tyre strategy then a second one for fuel pitstop strategy, computing the amount of fuel needed for the race, estimating the number of stints needed, according to fuel_cons.ini, the size of the fuel tank, the fuel multiplier set at the start of the race and the lenght of the race.
About fuel strategy, if the fuel consumption rate is not 0, after having computed a first pitstop strategy with a starting amount of fuel at the start of the race, AI checks in "real time" its fuel level so that to stop before there is less than one lap of fuel in the car. Then it recomputes its fuel strategy according to the remaining lap count in the race. This allows bots to adjust the amount of fuel they add in the car as fuel_cons.ini is always a bit pessimistic and the DumbAI computation at the start of the race has a 10% margin (with a random variable to make bots a bit more "individuals" ).
About tyres strategy, the basic behavior is to use the user-defined default tyre compound for the race. It ensures that if raining, the bot will keep the default tyre compound once the track has dried and it has got back to pit to put slick tyres. If tyres wear has been selected by the user, the bot checks in "real time" its 4 wheels and trigger the pitstop when they wear at the same level as the level that leads to a red value in the UI of vanilla AC. Before triggering the pitstop event, the AI checks if a fuel pitstop is not expected for the near next laps so that it can wait a bit with its old tyres to merge both pitstops.
If the user has checked the "mutiple compound strategy" in the UI, AI will know it has to make a mandatory pitstop to change tyre compound during the race, whatever the conditions. In this 1.0 version, until refinement, AI just change its tyre compound at the first available pitstop (either triggered due to tyre wear, refuel or damage). If no pitstop are performed for other reason, AI will make a pitstop just before there is only 4 laps remaining in the race, to change the compound. If it has rained during the race, the alternating of slick and wet tyres is considered as conform to the rules.
If the user has also checked "alternative strategy", as in older version of the app, the bad qualified racers try to make a first run with a softer or harder compound than the others, according to user selected "default" compound. (Fuel strategy adjustments under development ;-) )
DumbAI also checks for damage during the race and triggers pitstop if front or rear body or suspension are too much damaged. AI automatically change tyres and recomputes fuel during this pitstop due to damage.
The blue flag behavior is basically the same as in older version, just a bit optimized both for computing efficience and code simplicity
I hope you'll enjoy the app. I'd like to thank x4fab for his help and for the modifications he added to the lua sdk in the last csp version, to make it possible
There are surely some bugs due to the complexity of the code and the difficulty to test for everything. Please let me know if you encounter them: if you enjoyed the app, your reports will help me to enhance it
Yep, was going to suggest this if you prefer the original audio.Yeah, same here -- and I thought that was the inspiration for the name "Littlebird." Anyway, I just use the original sfx folder with the new car...
I tried it, it's good even if it's still under development. It's a GT2 evolved into a GT1, raced in '96
Already have it. Now that I think about it, I could probably modify it to have the bigger front splitter, canards, rear diffuser and the wing. We'll see.
Have you tried checking it on Google Maps/Earth? It looks like there are reflectors on the other side of the track... although I'm not sure if that's exactly the grandstands you're referring to.
Brno reworked 4.0 scroll down to the 15th
Last time i was at Monza there's no light there. Only on the main straight since it also used for the Monza Rally Show in late November. I have few videos in my archive, but as said i don't remember permanent lights there.
@racinjoe013 you could always add temporary portable light generators, which may (or may not) be in the Track Decoration app (I really must start using this). We used these types of lights a lot in RT tracks and other projects (eg Camino Viejo) where permanent lighting isn't part of the track infrastructure. You also shouldn't upset purists by using these, as you can argue that were only installed temporarily for specific events.
This one it must be good as it has 83% voted for 5star and 14% voted for a 4star. Only one person did spoil the hallelujah starranking by give this great track only a 3star ranking

Yes there are real. Spaceframe chassis with VW engine in the back with beetle style frame glass body . There do 25 hours are SPA each year with about 45/50 cars throughout Europe & UK.Need to ask cause i'm having issues finding any info on the following skins that has recently popped up on Overtake
FunCup Liveries by Huib has popped up, Never heard of this series before and finding information on the cars are...well something i'm apparently to stupid to figure out. Just need confirmation that these are real liveries, Cause some of them are sponsored by big GT3 team's like Cometoyou & WRT so just needed to double check

Grim fact : the guy who invented it was the husband of the Spa manager and killed her in a murder / suicide back in 2021.Need to ask cause i'm having issues finding any info on the following skins that has recently popped up on Overtake

I would say yes, Huib's skins are real liveries. These see to match with pics on the European FunCup FB site.Need to ask cause i'm having issues finding any info on the following skins that has recently popped up on Overtake

Exactly! The cars are actually built by WRT, and teams such as Comtoyou and Milo Racing are also active in the series. More information about the cars can be found on the WRT website, as well as on the championship’s own website.

The rest of the skins feel like they all are a part of the races. I am confident that the rest are real.
