How to avoid crashes, lock ups? Troubleshooting.

[nh2008]

Everyone counts!!!!!!


CAR PARTS:

Improve your car's brake cooling percentage
(design - front wing / suspension - break cooling)

Improve your car's airflow sensitivity percentage
(design - front wing / rear wing / underfloor - airflow sensitivity)


DRIVER SKILLS:

Improve your drivers' attributes
(braking, control, cornering, overtaking)
driver high agression level


RACE MANAGEMENT:

Be smarter, than others!
When to push?
Stay out of trouble!

I think you are grasping at straws.
You can have the best car and the best driver, but YOU and only YOU will still spin. Heck I've spun out on a VSC.. I mean how?
It's gotten ridiculous, if the latest patch added to the problem I don't know, but I have had only 1 race from 6 this season without at least one of my cars spinning off and wrecking a wing, or running wide multiple times. Not realistic at all.
Sorry.

Edit. After the new patch, I had to pay way more attention to tyre wear so I spent hardly any time at all on Orange/Aggressive. I had some spare fuel, but I ran Red maybe 1/3 of the race, maybe less. I don't think a top driver should find it that tough.
Had you considered the impact of Media Appearances at Race Weekends?
I have only my No1 driver doing Media, and he's having most of the issues.

Lewis Hamilton has 98 for control, and yet spins at Silverstone when running everything Balanced... yep something off here

[Arran Chace]

Do you run with Haas by any change, then its pretty realistc
Here is what Gunther has to say about it.

2020 Hungaroring, Verstappen. He hit the wall in the out lap !!!. Do you remember? I mean how? :)

Yes, you can't push your driver constantly. And watch carefully your race engineer's feedback. When he warns his driver about overheated tyre, you have to set pace command to normal / light or/and use the "drive in clear air" order. Probably You will lose time, but hopefully avoid a crash / lock up.

I don't think so.

The Aggression of the Driver plays a role too. Since the patch i have seen high aggression drivers crash more often in attempts to overtake.

sounds logical

[nh2008]

If you are doing everything well and the issue is still exist, you can test or try some new tricks. Be creative! :) For example hire a new race engineer with high feedback value. Just a tip.

do you try to be funny or what? the best drivers in the best team with the best staff spin and crash all the time. It has nothing to do with your points that sound logical but nothing makes a difference here.

Yep, it must be a joke, if you say so. :) Feel free to ignore it, no problem for me at all. :)

That is just utter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and complete bias at your end.
It's getting rediculous with this game.
over 90% of the complaints here have nothing to do with the actual game and are all provable bogus claims.
These people complain just to be complaining because it is their entire identity.
It has always been like that on the steam forums and it is rediculous nothing has been done about it in all these years.
And people wonder why developers never pay attention to these forums.

So how do you spin and wreck a front wing in VSC?
BTW I love the game, think it's too easy, but it's great. The amount of racing incidents is too high, especially in FP, when nothing is on the line and the amount of mechanical issues is non existent.
If the balanced settings are causing players too many issues, then maybe the crash rate is too severe. I build front wings for fun now, 6-7 in the warehouse in not uncommon after the last design. Most incidents happen in FP and I run on light.. so... there go half the theories.
No Start Accidents? Not one in 3 seasons in the first corner... You ever watched F1?
It would be nice to have a forward thinking AI, instead of having them change tires 5 times in a wet race.. Where is the dry line btw..Even Motorsport Manager had that.. 5$ for that..
I would expect F1 to be on the phone to this lot and tell them that it is not an accurate representation of the sport at all. It's been done better 25 years ago.
All glitz and graphics, sound is great, but the game feels shallow and unfinished. Reminds me a little of Madden, especially Franchise.

Good luck with that. I think I'll wait for a patch to fix this broken mess.
Or wait for a mod that does the job for the devs.
1.8 is a mess of crashing, lockups, spins and ai running out of fuel.

You mad bro. Game is whacko crazy with accidents and crashes. No matter what it's OP RNG.

it was endurable before 1.8 only just. But now????

Two driver all 4 main stats over 80+
Brand new front wings, underfloor etc etc.
Start race
Give the tyres a couple laps to warm up
push for 2 or 3 laps and then pull back all going well.
Lap 10, hit the pit opening
Lap 12 optimal
Pit in change tyres.

Give them another couple laps standard warm the tyres up.
Push for a couple laps to gain some ground
Goi back to balanced
Now for 10 - 15 laps before pit, balanced...

"THERE'S BEEN A SPIN!!!!"

Down from 12th to 19th after sitting there for everyone else to pass.

2nd car

same as above in 15th

"THERE'S BEEN A LOCK UP!!!!"

FU eff that rage quit games broken. Bye

edit: [And people wonder why developers never pay attention to these forums.]

They should be embarrassed for this whacko unpleasant "patch" that's why you'll only find them tweeting on twitter, they don't even bother on their own site ffs, what a joke.

It's not like I'm 16x's it. Pure micro managing to the book, hours of setup, practice and managing the race, by the book. The only thing they need to do now to make it almost perfect is sort out the over powered RNG that's like a fan hitting all the drivers with s h i t e RNG. It's unrealistic, and like I said, unpleasant to play.

I absolutely refuse to invest any more of my time (done 96 hours before 1.8 and was loving it) because it's all for nothing, because of this crazy random crap. I don't believe for a second it has anything to do with stats, car management it's a dumb algorithm spin of the wheel. and it needs toning down.

So DEVS, get with the plan, ignore these cry babies telling you it's too easy, it never was. You got the tyres all sorted, great but the random crashing, lockups, spins all need toning down, it's not realistic and it's killing the game.

[Drysyn]

Yeah I had Lewis Hamilton spin on balanced pace at Silverstone for no reason what so ever, from 1st to 20th because he sat facing the wrong way til everyone drove past... I definitely restarted that race (3 times) before he finally got it right...

"So how do you spin and wreck a front wing in VSC?"

VSC is a "young kid", so let him a bit of time please. :) The FIA introduced in 2015.
The safety car has own past, so let's see who crashed during the past 20 years or so under SC:

1. George Russell GP Emilia Romagna - 2020
2. Romain Grosjean GP Azeribaijan - 2018
3. Lewis Hamilton GP Canada - 2008
4. Seb Vettel GP Japan - 2007
5. Juan Pablo Montoya and Michael Schumacher GP Monaco - 2004
6. Jenson Button GP Italy - 2000

"Most incidents happen in FP and I run on light.. so...there go half the theories"

I don't think so. FP is the best session to make mistakes.

No Start Accidents? Not one in 3 seasons in the first corner... You ever watched F1?
You're right I miss it too. I watch F1, but don't understand the connection.

"It would be nice to have a forward thinking AI, instead of having them change tires 5 times in a wet race.."

I don't agree at all. There's not the right question (Why they did change tires 5 times)
The right question is: Was it valid or was not?

"It would be nice to have a forward thinking AI – yupp, really, just then it would be nice a
100% precise weather forecast as well.

Or I have another suggestion, a better one.
Let’s determine it forward:

0-5 laps: the track is dry
5-10 laps: the track is dump
15-20 laps: the track is wet
20-25 laps: the track is dump
25-30 laps: the track is dry (oh my Lord, this is now 4!)

so AI can think forward and the race will be super „exciting”

If you fancy that, your game is really the MM, just play with it. You can get it for 5$.
