Pit-stop's have ruined this game4me

Recommended Posts

I have had enough of trying to second guess the tyre change for the next pit-stop and getting screwed over by the pit-crew's.How many point's i have been robbed of me by them putting on scrubbed up tyres when i nip in with about10lap's to go is ridiculous.There should be a clearer indication when you are scrolling through the compound's whilst racing as to which ones are fresh and which are used.Even a simple line through the compound's would do as an indication,totally ruined a great game for me.

During qualifying, it shows you which tyres you have available for the race. Take a note of them and then you will know which are brand new.

But it says they have to give back the most worn ones,it's confusing as i do3session's of r&d work and then one shot qualifying,seriously all they have to do is put a line through the ones you have scrubbed up and then you would know for sure which are fresh.Surely it can't be a big job for them to implement.

They should do what they do in real life. Don't have the circle coloured in for scrub tyres.

Hi horrorbook forgive me if I misunderstand but you're saying you do all the practice programmes and then one-shot qualifying. If that's the case shouldn't all of the tyres you have available for the race be brand new because everything you used in practice was handed back?

I don't know what's going on,all i know is whenever the pit strategy is complete and i need to put on some fresh tyres for the last10 lap's or so9/10 they put on scrubbed tyres and i have to come in again.It completely ruin's the race.I try to remember what compound's i.ve used and it's usually medium's that i pick knowing i'd only used1set and everytime they put that same used set back on,so annoying especially with it happening right at the end of the race.Like i say it only happen's when i have to come in off my own back and nearly everytime the pit-crew stitch me up.To add to the confusion i think you have to hand back3of the most used set's,but not all of the used set's.It would be helpful when your tearing round and having to pick a compound at the same time if the scrubbed ones were indicated somehow so you could stay clear of them,that's all i'm saying.

They could use the same system they use in real life. Fill the tyre icon when it's used, make it transparent if new.

Yes but that doesn't change the fact that it would be difficult to select them, the MFD would need adjustment. For me personally it's not an issue as I remember which I should have new and should have scrub and they are always correct, but I can imagine you would want some kind of sollution to this.

You have a better memory than me then,i must use medium's in practice more than i thought as it's that compound that catches me out the most,as i pick it often to see me home knowing that i have only used one set in the race.

You only have 1 medium tyre for the race.I don't think you understand the rules anyway. The tyres in free practice can't be used for the race because they get returned at the end of those sessions. You won't be able to use the mandatory set in Q3 too. So you'll have a minimum of 3 new of tyres(the race tyres) and a maximum of 6 new tyres(race+qualy)

I've played F1 games for 5 years now and it never has been a problem for me or other people. It's a bit weird people think it's a problem now.

@Lozzy, what is the possibility of getting @xFitcho solution with the colored vs. outline tires? That certainly won't clutter the MFD. Will it be a terribly difficult feature to add in the next patch?

Just to check, your not using mediums in the race, taking them off and using them again later in the race are you? with only one set available? if you have two new medium sets for the race only and use one, then pit later for another set i could understand the frustration, it almost sounds more like confusion with the tire rule and choices of them for the race than being given scrubbed tires when you think you have new ones available and might not have new tires available

This is the problem though isn't it?how do you know if you're putting the used set back on?you don't,they are just thrown back in the mix with the rest of them.Like i say that's why i choose medium's to see me home because i had only used one set during the race,but they put the used set back on nearly every time.I think it's amazing personally that the used set's aren't distinguished from the fresh set's,an oversight by the coder's if you ask me.
