- In this video I try to take you through the steps I'd use in order to set your own AI difficulty.
Know you don't want to set it so easy that you win every race, as you'll never progress as a driver. I'd always like to be racing drivers which have the potential to be faster than me.
Here, I'll explain how the AI works, and how best to set your AI in relation to your own skill level.

Great stuff. Thank you, Rat Master. I have recently moved from PS4 Pro, to PC, and have struggled greatly with the AI. On PS4, I found that an AI setting of 100 was challenging, but I was always in with a shout. On PC, I'm lucky if I can hit 60. I easily outbreak the AI, and drive out of corners faster, only to get my doors blown off a few seconds later by an AI car that suddenly has the acceleration of a dragster. I'm always up for a challenge, but I don't want to be relegated to back-marker status after a few laps either.
Great video. I love it. Nice to see people like you giving PC2 TLC it deserves. ❤️🙏
Thanks man!!! I’ve struggled with the AI settings since day one. They never seem the same from track to track. I’m either way faster than AI or I can’t keep up. So this was a video I’ve been waiting for. I’m a big fan of your content you do great job with it!!! Very much appreciated!!!
Nick King lots of thanks for such a compliment... Unfortunately I don’t have the time to run as much testing as is required to set this in concrete. Other cars and circuits may well differ but if I’m wanting a challenge with the AI and to maybe practice with a setup then this is the approach I’d take at getting some serious competition to build on my skills.
Exactly same problem here, cars identical to me flying past me, or leaving me in the distance.... And I'm like... We got the same cars dho 😂😭 that shit seems to happen irrespective of the difficulty setting, stressing me out lol, if you give me sliders, you're basically telling me that your games broke 😂 and you want us to fix it
I've been looking for another proper explanation over the last few days so this is a treat for sure! Thanks a million Boss!
Tyler Vardy you’re more than welcome 👍🏼 Thanks for the comment 😉
@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 no trouble man, the entire channel is a hidden gem in my opinion! Keep it up! :D
Tyler Vardy cheers... Wish it wasn’t so hidden but I’m glad you’re making use of the content 👍🏼
@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 keep doing what you're doing and I'm sure that'll change! The algorithms like to reward clickbait these days too apparently so that doesn't help anyone with valuable information like yourself.
Thanks man 🙏 feel free to share anything you find helpful... 😉
Awesome video. Banged up AI aggressive to 100. They think about things more. Occasionally get a bump from braking early. But loads better and more competitive. I did do a LMP900 race 32 cars. 90 AI skill. Started well. Then went into comedy central mass pile up which I somehow avoided. Did C9s at Sakitto. On 105. Got daunted by quickness in practice. Switched back to 90. Managed to do a 1.32 lap. Only for AI to do a 1.29. 🤨😆
Cheers buddy… it’s been such a long time since driving on Project Cars 2 as I’ve fallen in love with ACC.
It’s so much more accurate with reality & my lap times are super consistent against PC2. I can always be between 3 10ths of a second from lap to lap.
But… I do miss driving the other classes on pc2.
Let’s hope Forza Motorsport brings a more immersive level of realism to the next gen console physics & rivals ACC or Assetto Corsa 2?
Dude right in the middle of your video there was an ad for schizophrenia. I asked myself what that was all about and nobody had any idea!
Very witty 😁 maybe you should ask the other you?
Interesting video.
I'm a massive fan of the Group A cars, so you driving the Turbo beast was fun to watch.
I still enjoy setting up custom AI races at The Red Bull Ring. I'm sorta stuck with AI settings of AI:74 AGGRESSION:64. Seems to give me a good race.
I don't tune my cars though, just keep everything stock.
It’s been a long time since I’ve played PC2 having moved over to ACC but the group A cars would be a welcome addition 👍🏼
@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 I'm only just getting back into racing after a long time off racing. Picked up PC2 and the original AC cheap and have been having a blast. I'll probably start looking for something more up to date soon ...... but for now they are still good fun.
Very helpful video, I wonder what the exact settings is where the A.i gets no handicap or boost.
I agree with Nick King, the AI is very inconsistent and dose vary quite a lot track to track and car to car. Seems like on some parts of the track the AI has rocket boosters and other parts their towing a caravan. I did read somewhere in the menu ( think it was the ticker tape thing at the bottom of the screen) that AI at 80 percent and above have the ideal setup for the particular track. I have always thought the AI in the first game was so much better but came in for a lot of stick from a few people. In the first game the AI would always try avoid you if you spun out across the track or you were slow into a corner for any reason. Had some great battles with the AI, They seemed much more aware of your presents, much more human.
MrSrimera in all fairness I don’t even think the AI have anything other than the default setup. Their literally given more or less power than the normal car and drive the same lines round the circuit no matter how powerful they are.
I don’t think the AI contends with the same physics laws which determine how the car handles for the human driver.
As for them being more human, I really didn’t have an issue with them acting any more unusual to how humans act in online lobbies.
Supposedly they will become more aggressive with you if you annoy them? I didn’t really spend to long trying to annoy any of them but I’ll be keen to see if I can race them just as competitively on other circuits in other cars with the same 105% skill and 100 aggression.
I still think I need to up the skill to about 108.
Honestly... everytime I turn Aggression up they just slam into my like its a demolition derby lol....
however I normally race from 80-100 it nornally gives me a good race, with agression at 2-15 (again they ram me so i keep it low, an they do not ram)
I find the AI very inconsistent as most people but it's worse when it comes to aggressiveness, in my experience, if I set the aggressiveness above 30 or 35, the AI transforms into some kind of Forza online player. They will shamelessly ram me off the track, do pit manoeuvers, brake checks, I can't finish the race half of the time... I know that 30 or 35 is a really low setting but it's just my experience. I'm playing on XBox so I don't know if the PC version got some further patches that the console version did not get.
Hugo Silva I don’t know either cause I’m also playing on Xbox 👍🏼
They don’t seem any worse than you find in lobbies that’s for sure... guess it prepares you for some tough online racing.
I'm on PS4 and the AI is nowhere near as is shown here. Very erratic to say the least and not consistent with the car in front. Just today I've tried experimenting, I qualify fastest, then, in the race, the second placed driver seems to have twice the power and traction clocking 5 seconds per lap faster. Even on 40 - 45 difficulty the first two cars seem to be at the pro timing pace if I start around the middle of the grid, if on the other hand I start at the front and manage to be in front, then I am faster by a couple of seconds per lap. I just can't figure it out.
Totally understandable and I’ve found this to be very similar at a number of circuits when I was playing the game regularly. Since moving to ACC the AI are so much better in every way. Hope you manage to find the sweet spot 👍🏼
@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 I agree that ACC has much better AI, but I am just in love with the Jaguar XJR-9 which is really great in PC2.
You might very well enjoy this video then and maybe even best my lap czcams.com/video/prpT6fwt_4g/video.html
I don’t know if they’ve changed this or if it’s the same in PS4. But in AI level 30 I get some tracks where I’m between 1 to 3 seconds ahead in qualifying. In the race I do beat them for 7-15 seconds. Or if I spin, they won’t catch me. But that’s where I’m comfortable racing, it’s like Gran Turismo difficulty. At 50, I’m like 1-3 seconds behind them at qualifying. So, Im either very slow, or it doesn’t work like that in my end. This is all in career mode by the way. Depending on the class and car, I’m between 23-30 level.
It doesn’t really matter what level you choose to set the AI. All you need to do is set the AI so it’s challenging, who cares if you lose a few races to the AI.
When you start, or if you start racing online, you’ll be much better equipped to race better drivers that aren’t just going to move over, or that aren’t challenging.
Thanks for the comment bro… I’m kinda interested in returning back to PC2 on the series X to see if it’s any better… but.
I’m still rehabilitating my shoulder so it’ll have to wait… all the best 👍🏼
@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 Thanks! Yeah, I’ll try upping the difficulty. But I’m not really that competitive, and actually just enjoy driving.
I’ve tried ACC, but don’t really like GT3 cars that much, and that’s all there is, I use the original AC a lot more.
Hope you get better, and thank you very much for all this content.
You’re welcome… hopefully ACC gets even better once the update arrives in February.
I am playing this game in PS4 with the controller ( so no wheel here), i am just wondering where should i place my dificulty, i am mostly playing career mode and at the beginning it was impossible to drive. now I am getting a bit better and currently playing at 50 making great progress and thinking on upping it 10 more for next time. I was just wondering what is your take on difficulty using a controller instead of a wheel?
SF Studio well if you’ve watched this video.
czcams.com/video/T0kEyL9DM04/video.html
You’ll know that a guy called ClassicPhysique would regularly top the TT leaderboards using a controller and he has every GT1 lap record on Xbox one.
So there’s no quarter given when it comes to using a controller. You can be just as fast as drivers with wheels 👍🏼
@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 wow , i did not know that. since i am a casual gamer and do not wander a lot in those kind of competitions. i will look at that video and borrow a few of those recommendations. I do notice however that after a few days racing my driving has improved exponentially. If my kids ever stop playing minecraft and let me drive a bit i can definetly get pretty good enough for online racing.
SF Studio I’ve no doubt you’d be good enough for online racing already. Community events are a great way to learn from faster people’s ghosts which can also help you download setups and give you some ideas on how to attack certain corners etc.
I play ps4 controller also. My ai is about 20 to 30 difficulty and 50 on aggressiveness. I'm nowhere near your driving skills though. It's hard to control the car on corners on a controller. But i'm always having a lot of fun, except for crashing and not knowing the tracks a lot. Still practicing though.
We all start somewhere... as long as you’re enjoying it that’s what counts most 👍🏼
I've had project cars 2 for over a year now. How do you get the AI to take over at pit stop? I didn't know you could!
Choose to swap driver, it’s at the bottom of the pop up pit menu which you can access while driving.
Never noticed it.
@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 thanks for educating us on that 😀
can you do a tutorial on cooling your tire in a rest? Is this always on when you race with other players or on esport?
Been such a long time since I drove pc2… ACC is the only racing title I’m currently doing content for.
@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 I hope you can go back on PC2 as there are more tracks and cars and people still play it! :) Missing out more players! :)
i find it really frustrating when I play on 40 I'm still seconds behind at last place in qualification but in the race, I'm p1 after 1 lap.
In which case if you’re still in last place almost in qualifying it wouldn’t make much difference if you increase the AI skill to make the race more challenging.
I think it’s hard to find an equal balance.
Do you think its better playing with the damage off?
Hashpotato Not really if you’re against the AI but definitely in online lobbies 👍🏼
I always run Damage OFF. Keeps it fun when the AI go for the old Dive Bomb.
From 80+ the ai uses custom setting every track wich improves their performance
You’ll also see that the AI get more power output from the same car.
I bought it last week an dim really struggling with AI. I feel like I'm driving really well but can only compete when AI r at 40%
I guess you need to just practice then. You might be driving well but you clearly need to be faster if this is the case.
Just keep practicing, learning, we all do it & we all start somewhere 👍🏼
@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 also, when I do time trials I am like 10 seconds quicker than I actually am when I do a custom race. Takes ages to heat the tyres and tend to have minimal grip. Why is that?
Been a while since I last drove on Pcars2 but I’d always run soft tyres unless I was at Watkins Glen.
Time trial conditions are best really with minimal fuel which is why you’re a little quicker.
Better off setting cars up during a race weekend 👍🏼
@@benthomas782 try changing out the tires. In a custom race the default tires are usually hard slicks, try soft slicks, much faster but grip doesnt last as long.
I have the problem that tge AI dont pit for tires anywhere in the race and i do have to pit for tires and fuel even with mandatory pitstop
Yep… that’s seriously gonna suck? Surely there’s a way to force the AI to pit? Been a long time since I played PC2 sorry I’m not much help.
@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 oke thanks for the response
This car is a nightmare to drive perhaps you could do a setup guide for this car i have hell of job trying to keep up with them at Silverstone GP circuit this at 80% and else where on other circuits i don't have an issue. may be you could do a setup guide.
This tells me you didn’t manage to stay for the full video... I know it’s a fairly long one but just at the end I mentioned that the setup I used for the Sierra will be coming soon in my next video. 👍🏼 The Sierra certainly has some handling issues.
@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 great job mate looking forward for the setup and thanks again for all the content.
@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 handling issue the Sierra? u think its actually like this in real life ?
Samim samim the Sierra, in its day, was probably a real handful with so much power but with my setup I find it quiet predictable to drive. The biggest issue is with the gear ratios and having such a big turbo. The turbo takes so long to spin up & has such a steep power curve it’s very hard to be progressive with the power while trying to accelerate the car smoothly.
Most of the work really does come down to the drivers throttle inputs.
But... there are a few ways to tame this beast to make the job a little easier 😉
Silverstone, road america, and panorama i get smoked by the AI, but on monaco, sonoma, and spa i speed past them. The strength is also inconsistent across diffrrent classes, which is really annoying
