How does practice session car set up work?

[Wilfrid Wong]

It seems like the simulator is doing a better job than I do when it comes to car set up :)

I see that there is an optimal range. And there is current marker versus the best marker.

What's the objective here? Move the current market within the optimal range or move it towards best, whereby best could lie outside of the optimal range? I am a bit confused here. Thanks for the pointers.

Somewhere in between the blue. Helps to check the circuit your on I find so you know how fast or slow the track is. Pretty easy to get 90% plus if not 100%. Also should get at least 2 and a half confidence checks per practice, sometimes you can squeeze 3.

The best marker is where it was at your best overall setup. That doesn't mean you are supposed to move all sliders towards the best marker. It could be away from it on one or even 2 sliders. its just the overall best setup you have tried. One of the sliders can still be way off.

But yeah. keep it within the "known" range. this range gets smaller and smaller the more you test so by the end of P3 you should be able to get atleast great on all sliders coz the range is so small.

i like to adjust the setup before P1
and put the markers more to the edge of the bars, then i either get a bad,good,great indicator and i know in wich direction i need to move it.

Individual driver setups do vary somewhat, but you can get a pretty good idea of what's likely to work by putting one driver on the left side of the blue bar, and one driver on the right. See which ones are good and adjust the bad ones accordingly. You should be able to get a "Good" or better setup in each category for both drivers by the end of P2 at the latest. By the time you get to P3 it'll just be tweaking the individual drivers to find great or optimal setups.

I testet the Simulator too (with the Tutorial) and do the Setup manually. Manually you get a 20 to 25% better Setup as automatically from your own Team.

1. The Setup makes the Car better for the Track, that the Car is easyer to Drive and much more Stable.

2. Failures from the Driver get Minimised, because it´s better suited for Her / Him.

3. The Tires get a longer or shorter Life during the Race, which decide between Winning / Loosing.

4. The Car get Faster / Slower, which belongs how good the Setup-Job get done.

Atm. the Setup-Points 3 and 4 are the Problem-Child. The Devs working on it very hard to get out the genuine redition from it. In that Case the Points 1 and 2 get an Update too as well as all other Parts which belongs an complete Race-Weekend.

1. No.

2. Due to driver skill being boosted.

3. No (Smoothness skill is not boosted IIRC)

4. No.

Try to run one car with max downforce, the other with minimum. Check the telemetry and data. Car Setup doesn't actually have any effect on the cars. Only the driver skill boost.

You may write this as a "this is how it is in real life", but it's not how it is in F1 Manager 22.

READ CORRECTLY, GOOD DAMM.

What I wrote in the atm-Part?

[Mighty]

you are misleading people mate and posting false information. Adding a disclaimer at the bottom saying that this is how it should have been but at the moment but it is broken is not cool or helpful.

As the team principal, it is not my job to worry about set ups....We pay Race Engineers to work with the drivers to get the best set up for a given track, so I don't play the "mini-game" which is probably why we suck (laughing) as bad as we do in the races with our 70 setups.
