well since it was possibible to set up them from first release (aka 0.1) and until 0.6 with your custom ones you prefer, i feel it's a step back.
Now you are stuck in an eternal limbo where controls are changed and are completely different from what is written about then in the controls menù... It's the first update wich pissed me, along with the kamikaze AI...

But you changed it in a hotfix. Now try to play with the new keys with manual gears...

You both have bought an early access game, please read up about it and the rules that come with it on Steam. Programming isn’t always as you seem to make it out to be, so let’s be patient and deal with what you signed up for when buying an early access ;-).

 

[Dr.Jones]

I know what a EA is. Dont make "drama" where there isn't.

I was just telling the feeling...

 

[White Hawk]

yes we are aware, but it's part of a bigger job, not something we can hack in a hotfix sadly.
Hopefully you'll have a bit more patience with this.

Any chance the bug where if you go into Advanced on the button mapping controls hitting either Confirm or Cancel sometimes does nothing and all you can do is force quit the sim? Been like this since the beginning.

 

[White Hawk]

I'll try this one. Thank you for the advice

Just in case you don’t have it on your wheel menu grab the latest firmware, the latest 3.30 beta attached to the 3.30 beta Fanatec blog thread by Marcel Pfister is working good for me.

Hi Davide,

In the tuning menu on the Mclaren wheel... try changing the MPS setting to Pulse.

I tried but nothing changed.

I'll try this one too.

Thank you guys for the support

The latest is attached as a Zip file further along that thread in a answer to someone’s problem, I don’t know if it will fix your issue but I didn’t have the MPS option before and the constant MPS button pressing default behaviour caused issues assigning buttons in ACC.

Is there a widely accepted nVidia driver to use if you have one of the older 1070 cards or does everyone just "use the latest one"?

I use a GTX1070 and simply switch to the latest driver each time it is deployed. Didn't notice any performance gains/losses to be honest. Also didn't have any crashes/instabilities with the latest few builds.

Is there a better AA solution to be found or is what we have now with temporal AA “as good as it’s gonna get”?

You can try reshade. It includes MSAA.

 

[Entombed]

Release date is 29/05 !

 

[jimortality]

Do you think there will be updates between now and then?

 

[mr Sw1tchblade]

Yep i am sure. Some tweaks and bugfixes. But no news about new content.

With 0.7 for the first time I tried to setup a longer race with mandatory pitstop, but when I enter the pit lane (in open pit window) there is no pit crew waiting or place where I should stop displayed and I can't do the pit stop. I'm not sure what is wrong. Do I need to request a pit stop somehow? I didn't find a hotkey for it and opening the new pit stop management MFD page doesn't help either. Any ideas?

There are some issues with pit stops. Better ask about at official support forum.
Hotkey settings will come later. Now you can try default ac hotkeys.

You can open the MFD with the Insert key. Cycle through the options, and you'll find the pit stop settings. Then when you drive into the pits (during the pit window, which will be announced) you will see a sort of glowing white box in one of the pit stalls. That's your box. It's not easy to see - not sure why they removed the animated pit crew but apparently they did. Presumably this will be added back in later but for now, look for the glowing white box. It's also a bit tricky to judge it right, and I always seem to drive slightly too far.

So not perfect for now, but you can get it to work and they will almost certainly improve it by 1.0.

Thanks, that's basically what I thought I was doing, but I'm going to give it another try. I would swear there is no glowing pitstop for me, I already tried the external cameras to look around the pits if I can spot something like this.

During practice and quali, is it also possible to pit stop and change tires? I think the pit stop MFD wasn't showing in quali when I tried.

 

[Jonathan Young]

I tried it yesterday in practice and I couldnt see the pit MFD screen, so no, I dont think so. Not sure why really, its exactly the sort of thing I need to practice!

 

[Ryann]

Now I double checked and no, there is no glowing pit box when entering pits. In graphics settings effects and post-processing is on Epic, so it should not be a visual problem. I don't know if it could be because of game mode, since I'm running Custom Race with mandatory pitstops, but it clearly doesn't work for me.

I tried this again last night and the pit box (at Monza) was the very last one before pit exit. The box is hard to see, it’s a glowing white rectangle on the ground that extends up in a 3D way just a couple of feet. It’s there, but right at the end and tricky to see - unless you’re experiencing a bug of course. Good luck!
