Reik Major · Aug 30, 2014

ATTENTION!

When I tryed to make a simple pit stop preset I wasn't able to check the 4 tyres to get changed in a stop! All other stuff like fuel and repairs were changeable. This would mean I have to make the tyre change manually for all tyres before each stop (A littel bit dangerous on the short straihgt).

Am I the only one who has that problem (bug?).

Just in case it's a bug for everyone I made the red attention sign, so everyone is aware to change tyres manually before each stop....

Bob Miley · Aug 30, 2014

Don't know yet Reik, I am just about to install the mod. Forgot I didn't have it installed after I did a clean install a few months back so got some practice to do.

Nox · Aug 30, 2014

@Dennis Phelan please sign me out, I literally haven't slept in 29 hours now and I don't think I'll hold out for the race. I hope you have another V8 race soon though, these are super fun and I was looking forward to this.

Bob Miley · Aug 30, 2014

Reik, I just got fuel and 4 soft tyres at a pitstop.

Dennis Phelan · Aug 30, 2014

I was just on with Bob, he has it sorted. Soft tires only are available for car and preset. Pitstops run OK.

ajokay · Aug 30, 2014

@Reik Major I had the same issue. Tyres are not selectable when you're creating your pit stop presets. As you say, fuel is (which is the important bit) but you have to select the tyres as you're entering pit lane.

Björn · Aug 30, 2014

Yeah, I had the same problem - even changing the text file (set tyre values from 0 to 1) in Race07's document folders didn't work out.
In case anyone gets it working, an upload of your "PRESET_FVR_V8SC.ppf" in "Documents\SimBin\RACE 07\UserData\PitMenuPresets" would be appreciated, maybe this'll work

Dennis Phelan · Aug 30, 2014

change the file .svm to .ppf and load.

Yves Larose · Aug 30, 2014

i don't have the issue it works like it suppose to, guy's do you have auto pitstop activated ? if so turn it off that might be the problem cause auto pitstop almost never work with add on tracks.

Björn · Aug 30, 2014

Nah, the auto pit's off since a long time

Not that much of an issue, anyway - the back straight should give us plenty of time to enable the tyre changes. Fuel would've been more dramatic

Dennis Phelan · Aug 30, 2014

It could be the problem is happening to drivers that have not had an earlier mod instsalled?

RaceProUK · Aug 30, 2014

It might be; it happened to me too, and this version is the first version I've installed.

nah it alsways have worked fine for me with a newly installed mod, my guess its something in their options that is not set like us or they have something installed that conflict and causing the problem.

Yves Larose · Aug 30, 2014

@Gary Lennon not interested in a bit of Race 07 V8 Supercars mate ? gonna be fun

No other car mods over here.

Anyway, it seems like I got it working now, though I'm not exactly sure why.. what I did was pretty much exactly what I already tried earlier - setting up the values in the ppf file mentioned above manually - "marked = 1" for each wheel entry. However, I did this with the game not started up, unlike the first tries (I figured if setups aren't a problem, this wouldn't be either.. well..

)
Fun part: I cannot de-select the tyres for that preset anymore, now - but that's alright

Liam Blair · Aug 30, 2014

No, I know of a few that had the same problem, you can always have the pit stop menu up during the in-lap to select them in a safe manner.

Well that was fun. Thank you for organising this. Hopefully we can do some more V8 races.

Qualifying went well but still can't get over the fast guys pace.

Race well I forgot to change to race setup. Not sure if it would have done anything to tyre wear. But the rear end was on ice after 5 laps. Had lots of fun until a hit on the barrels at the chicane ended the race for me.

Big shame but great fun.

Thank you all and hope to do some racing next week
