Setups same for both drivers?

[sparker]

Hey all,

would just like to know the logic behind the setups for each driver. Is it expected that they will both "desire" the same setup or will each driver/part combo be different?

Thanks,
Sam

Yes setup are different for both cars, and driver. I've taken screenshots from all tracks with good setups that I use as baseline each season so I don't have to work with setups from the beginning.

If you find the game too easy, you might want to consider not using last years settings. If you understand the mechanics you can obviously get excellent smileys, but still.

A bit artificial in my mind. There have been quite many posts already that would made game harder, without affecting casual player that much.

In my experience both cars have the same setup.

When 1 comes in with a Poor on handling and the other with a Great, then I adjust the Poor to what the Great has and I will have 2 Greats.

Maybe the Reserver Driver's morale is affected if you have him drive? I don't know. Maybe that is important if it is a pay driver and you want to keep him.

i copied once a setup from my car 1 to my car 2. result: car 1: 98%, car 2: 80%

i guess when you start a season or have very similar cars, the setup

I always use my setups for both cars. It simply saves time when you have good starting point. At best I've had it hit 99% right away from last year. Which means you can just keep running endless laps and make practise quicker (unless you wanna try to hit 100%). At worst I've had old setup under 70, but that has only happened after series change, where car stat balance happens a lot. And yes, they are different for both cars.

Well, here's everything I know:

As someone who has admittedly save scummed a lot both for testing and cheating purposes, I can tell you that Car setups are:

Besides the Track, 100% RNG based. Yes, it is RNG based. Not based on the drivers, car parts, or staff. I believe what happens is the game assigns the "Excellent" sweet spot onto a random area of the set-up sliders, depending on the track, differently for both cars when you first load into practice. From then, it's basically a "hot or cold" game of finding where the sweet spot is.

How do I know? Simple: I loaded into practice, got a set-up that was 99% optimal, finished the session, re-loaded back and put in the exact same set-up, except this time it was 95%. Exact same driver, car and everything.

It seems the game does this assignment when you initially load into a practice session, so if you save at the very start of a practice session then re-load, the same set-up will give the same result. If you save and re-load to the pre-session page, the set-up will likely change. This is likely made so that you have to actually run each practice session instead of saving a set-up for each track and not having to run practice.

As for Feedback, the Feedback stats dictates how fast the Race / Tyre knowledge bar will go up. Higher Feedback means the bar will fill up much faster, allowing you to get higher levels of the Stint / Tyre knowledge bonuses. As such, there's no reason to not use your reserve driver in practice if they have a higher Feedback stat than either of your drivers. As previously mentioned, set-ups are assigned on each car, and not based on drivers, so your main driver will get the same performance out of a set-up that your reserve did.

Hope this is correct and helpful.

awesome thanks for the input!

I'm a bit suprised that it actually says in asset files that the max difference between worst and best setup can be 1 second without modifying game assets. Bit low don't you think?
