Okay, thank you. Already did it by trial and error, but thought there might be a general value with which you could calculate, so that is is not as much effort, as it is right now...
First time I didn't finish on the podium in this AI level! That's a great feeling, even though I had ABS and TC to full. I started 7th and finished 6th. No penalties although set to full. Webber lost his front wing hitting me at T01 on lap 4/58. Awesome race! Thanks! And I didn't have to restart Career because, I used a small DOS utility to make your database file's creation date and time match the original in my Steam installation (I just tried it and it worked). It's a copyrighted utility so I don't know if I could share it though. Maybe not in public but I got it from a free student edition of Borland C++ 6 (yes, it's old but it works!).
Really cool mod, TY AJ.
Glad you like my settings. I find it quite realistic and very challenging now. Nice work.
Again, I find you made the Perfect AI mod for my level, Andy! I just did a 100% QR (Short Weekend - Full Qualifying, because I wanted to start on pole position and to win it tonight), with light clouds all the way. The results were just great again, with most realistic timelaps as can be for an intermediate level the whole way through, without me having to push hard on every single lap to stay in first, only when necessary (Webber came closer when he was on options while I had the primes on, so I had to respond using fuel mix 3 & more kers for a few laps).
Here are the results with your mod tonight:
And the charts for Year-To-Date & Rank in my new QR season (Quick Race Season Championship chart easily made with the free OpenOffice.org Calc spreadsheet program):
It's like just perfect for me, so I wanted to say thanks again! RD modders truly are the best!
Thank you so much for this. I edited my own trackdifficulties to match yours and its perfect thank you so much again.
thank you so much again. Follow up: 100% Quick Race, China race only, as Alonso. I started the first few laps without really wanting to take over Rosberg (the real winner there this year) just to see if he would rush to take the lead in the game. When I realized he was not doing that, it was too late for me to race for the podium. So I take it like I wanted to preserve the engine and/or the gear box!
And the updated Quick-Race Season Championship chart:
Looks pretty good so far (much better than with the game's default intermediate or professional levels).

You are welcome.
Good news! My relatively limited knowledge of the English language prevents me from finding and understanding what's written in those .bin and .xml files, so I am so glad you guys can wade through them and fix the mess the devs either don't want, don't have enough time, or simply get themselves at lost in their jungle of variables to fix.
JUst had an unbelieveable "fight" with Kimi the Iceman, thanks to your great work, Andy! He almost got passed me on that last "spinny" corner there!
And this time, I didn't held back or anything. I even took my first drive-through penalty ever for "sportsman misconduct" after Hamilton hit my rear-right tyre and went spinning off track
Now THAT's what I call Racing for FUN!!
Thanks again and I'll keep looking for your next upgrade.
I think (but I'm not sure) in this case, it would be better that you edit your existing database.bin file with the same values of this Semi Pro one. Look up thread for these values, if I am not mistaken. Or ask Andy via PM for them if you can't find them (or wait until he'll reply later here).
I just finished a full Catalunya 100% with it. Finished 2nd, but what a race. At one time, I was behind both Vettel and Button, and all 3 of us had our DRS open to try to overtake each other, but none of us 2 succeeded! (Well, Button was the leader and he had previously been stuck behind a lapped Marussia before the last corner.)

As Salut has stated, it one would overide the other. Better to edit the Track difficulties in the database file yourself.
PS, Salut, sounds like the mod is really working well for you. I am having a blast in my career too.

Yes, sometimes it's like "wow! look at that, it's sooo cool!", but I am really struggling with Monaco right now. It's not due to the database file, but to the track itself. The way they've done it this year, and it's like I just can't find the right car setup at all, no matter how I set it up. 11/11, high-pressure large brakes and all, the car keeps "bouncing" like crazy.
I really don't like how hard they've made it for Monaco (one of my favorites). I start a race, do fine for a few laps, then I always end up somehow in the rails, or the tyres start spinning all over, left to right, so I restart the race, and the same thing happens later again.
I guess I'll have to "slow down" a bit, accept my position, and stop pushing too hard tomorrow.
I have found a link to a freeware download that, once installed on 32- or 64-bit windows (equiped with the latest dot-net framework files), allows to right-click on any file and then to change it's date and time stamps using a graphical-user-interface. I used an old DOS utility to do that and it worked for me (much to my surprise, and I didn't have to redo the YDT either).
No guaranty it will work for everybody, but make sure to save your profile folder & the original database.bin file before trying: http://www.jddesign.co.uk/products/touchpro/touchpro.htm
Hi Andy
Thanks for this great database mod. Like some I was struggling with the Pro but found Intermediate too easy. Looking forward to seeing your next update on this file
