Will there be Active Reset like iRacing? For practising.

For ppl doesn't know what active reset is, it is resetting to a place where you marked before.

Elaborating (as I did not even knew iracing had it, despite having used iracing some 20 or 30 hours:

I dont think so.
Also, all these details vary according to track condition, weather and tyres condition so an overall practice under the exact same conditions is far from what would result in good proper practice and adaptation to different conditions (track, weather and tyres conditions) would deliver a better practice imho.

HOTLAP MODE with locked time of the day and weather is as close as it gets to that for an entire lap as tyres, track, weather and car conditions reset at each lap and restarting is somewhat near the starting line.

I am 100% sure you are correct. Of course. But I am now on my very first 19th hours of any sim racing game ever. I will play same track same car same conditions for quite some time to learn and understand some of the basics. And elaborating would be huge help to me.

Now I must get iRacing and practice many hours with unchanging conditions. Maybe it is not a good strategy and I will change later on but now it seems ok to me. But ofcourse at this stage any help is big bag of gold to me.

Like, if you get used to, lets say, 16°C track 16°C, 8:00am locked cloudy weather and always pristine new tyres with low fuel, when you race if track is 21°C 29°C sunny clear with 20min race maybe you will see your tyres coocking in like 1 or 2 laps and your lap times going worst by the lap to maybe a point of being 2s or 3s slower at Monza (as example).

Learning to save your tyres and to adapt to multiple conditions (also to adjust your tyres psi and driving style to multiple conditions) is important part of racing that you dont learn if you always drive a hotlap-type mode that fits just a specific part of the track (unless, sure, if you already know what you are doing and is well aware of how you are driving and if it delivers in a race or not).

It may be good for 1 open lap and 1 flying lap for qualify but if you drive always coocking your tyres it wil not be good for your flying lap and on the opening lap it is good if you know how to heat up and prepare your tyres for the flying lap . . . same thing for race as it is rolling start, you can heat up your tyres in 1 lap or "in half a sector" (what "half a sector" is how most servers are set so you better learn how to prepare your tyres as best as you can in just half a sector and prepare for other drivers around you to not know what they are doing too and with cold tyres or overburning brakes)

i think the reset could be useful for practicing a specific sector or turn instead of having to do full laps if your really struggling in one area you could just keep doing that section obviously this would come after your already doing pretty well and it would sort of just be fine tuning your line/ how much you can turn the wheel and all that.

man i forgot how old school the iracing menu looks it looks pretty hard to navigate for someone who doesnt already know it. i have not opened iracing in a while one thing i really like about ACC is how easy the menu system is looks like iracing has like 100 small text options in every menu lol

thanks EF for delivering more important issue to take care of at the beginning of career.. I ll start to count on it and will add to my practice strategy sooner..
