Pro Career Lap Counter and SC/VSC Delta

Recommended Posts

It doesn't seem like the is a lap counter in pro career. The closest thing I've found was doing a full race update that would give you laps remaining. I am missing a way to get this to show up? If not, I'd like to request this as a feature as it is important info to have.

Same goes for the SC/VSC Delta. It doesn't show up at all in pro career mode. The only thing that shows is the red penalty box if you go too fast or too slow. But the delta doesn't appear.

The idea is you don't have a lap counter in pro career mode. Because it's supposed to be like real life and irl they have no lap counter do they? They have their engineer and so do you! But the sc/vsc delta I feel does need to appear, because how are you supposed to know. However it does appear when your going too fast!

Right, but there's still no option for you to ask the engineer what lap you are on. Also, they could just display the lap on the steering wheel.

You can  do a full race update. And use raced director aswell

So you say real life drivers don't have a lap counter so we shouldn't. But then you mention race director where you need to pause the game. I don't think real life drivers have a pause button ;). I haven't seen a ton of real life wheel LCDs but I'm pretty sure they have way more information than what codemasters give us in cockpit.

Full race update takes a while and it only gives you laps remaining (which while racing is hard to remember the total laps and do math). In real life you also could ask "what lap is it?". In real life you also have intelligent engineers that can quickly change a pit stop strategy based upon SC/VSC etc. In the game the engineers strategy is terrible so you are working as the engineer as well. It is a vital piece of information that needs to be communicated either visually or quickly via audio.

They just need to update the screens on the steering wheel to something like (here we go again) pCars. We can cycle through screens with various telemetry information, lap times/lap counter/tyre temps/brake temps/fuel usage/lap delta's.

All of the information in the T-Cam HUD should be available in the screens on the steering wheel.

Codemasters answer will be that it is too hard to code, instead try 'x' workaround :(
