there will be no fix for the problem with the loss of the wheel settings???????????

 

How does it work? Do we have to download the entire game again?

 

No.

 

Thank you very much for the support!
Do you know the exact day when the patch go out ?

 

Also no

 

Great thanks for the info, much appreciated and looking forward to the patch.

However, what about brake bias adjustment during a race?
Currently you can't adjust brake bias in a race, but can during practice. This is a bug that I reported to Reiza support, but I can't find the email that I sent and who responded, but they did confirm this was a bug and would be resolved in the patch.

Unless this is what you mean by:
Adjusted parc ferme rules to allow fuel and brake adjustments before race;

Just want to make sure this didn't get left out

Thanks

 

You can adjust this yourself in your plr file.

 

Can you elaborate on this, I just looked in my plr file and I don't see anything about brake bias being locked for race and adjustable for practice. As I said the email back from Reiza did confirm this was a bug in park ferme settings or something?

 

QUICK FreeSettings="-1" // -1=use RFM/season/GDB default, or add to allow minor changes with fixed/parc ferme setups: 1=steering lock, 2=brake pressure, 4=starting fuel, 8=fuel strategy 16=tire compound, 32=brake bias, 64=front wing, 128=engine settings

 

The Brasilia-Infield Course is the one they gonna use for Sunday's race?

 

Ramon - no, Stock Car only ever races the external ring.

Keith - yes, it will be sorted in the patch so you can adjust brake bias from the cockpit in races.

 

I have a question regarding the patch. If I turn off tire wear, will it turn off tire wear for the ai cars also?

 

Excellent, thanks Reiza Studios
