Re: Tyre Wear at 100% on race starts in F2

Hey there, 

Just to give you an update, that our team will look into reproducing this and hopefully we have some more updates soon as we know that this is a frequent issue if you play the F2 career path or F2 races combined with Sprints.

    I found that if you are playing F2 in 35% average races and you have the presentation lap on, the tires will come worn out is a bug, just remove the presentation lap they come with the wear you left in Qualy because in the feature race we used the Qualy tyre. now if you are playing long races 50% and complete 100% you have nothing to do, it's a bug that we can't put the hard tire (or medium depending on the weekend) and the game forces everyone to make 2 stops, use the new soft tyre, make the first stop, put the soft soft used in Qualy, and on the last lap put the only hard available in the feature race which is used in the Sprint, because in races 50% and 100% we use hard (or medium ) in the Sprint, the correct is just 1 stop, start with the new soft and stop to put the new hard, but as the new hard doesn't appear we have to put the used hard in the Sprint. unfortunately it is a bug that does not appear the hard (or medium) left.

    @EA_rephii

    Manually setting sprint strategy to 0 stop of the hardest compound, solved all the F2 career issues and bugs for me.

    but thats for full length and simulation.

    Hi 

    is there any chance that alternative strategies for the feature races can be added to the game please

    @ojhowells22 Wouldnt get my hopes up, but a big list of suggestions including F2 improvements such as this has been passed on so maybe next year but definitely needed!

    maybe even formula electric. haha. I can only dream about it. =D

    Oh wait... Formula electric already exists in another racing simulator.

    Still would be nice to dream about f3 f2 f1 and formula electric. All in one game x)

    @Meza994 they should focus a little on lower categories like f3 but if not even f2 they can do well imagine f3, F2 full of bugs, in 50% races we are forced to make 2 stops because the new hard tire that is left over cannot be added in the strategy, the other bug, or better saying error is the wrong f2 calendar in the driver's career mode. a lot of focus on F1 and leaving F2 which is a delight to play halfway. I really wish there was an f3 also more without bugs hehehe

    No matter how bugged f2 is, its still a good skill tester to do before heading into formula 1, so one can fine tune the ai difficulty level by the end of f2 career. I'm currently between 85 and 90 with the driving line enabled.

    In F1 one cant tell if the car is bad or difficulty too high.

    @ivun3 I really like playing F2 but these bugs are a little discouraging, if it weren't for these two bugs the one with the tire that doesn't appear and the wrong calendar F2 would be perfect

    Hey there,

    Our team has made different attempts with combined settings to reproduce this issue and they haven't been able to do so.

    Take into account, that if you already damage your tyres during the sprint race, the damage will carry on to the next race and that is working by design.

    Look, I made a complete video creating a career from scratch with 50% race to show you the error that the last tire does not appear in the feature race (in the video the game is all in Brazilian Portuguese because I am from Brazil) if you want to watch it are you there. I will explain correctly in the text below.

    I'm already in the full Qualy, (I added training but it's not necessary to do it just for this explanation) I did the whole Qualy, two laps with the first soft tire. then I go full sprint race with zero stops with the standard hard tire strategy. I went to the Race feature. this is where the error happens, in the Race feature strategy you can see that he asks for two stops, start with the new soft tire and at the first stop put the used soft in Qualy and the second stop put the hard on the last lap, and this Hard is the one used in Sprint. (you can be sure seeing that already on the second lap of the feature race I put the tire on to check if it is the hard sprint and you can see that it is the sprint tire, due to the wear that is the same when we finish the sprint race ) and I'm left wondering where the last new hard tire is. why doesn't he show up. that is the problem. the right thing is to make a stop, for example use the new soft tire until the 7th lap and use the new hard tire that does not appear until the end of the race, just like in real life.

    unfortunately here you can not post the video so the link

    @EA_Groguet  it took me 45 mins to find that this is correct, How the team didn't is beyond me. I also don't understand why the sprint race is done on the soft tyre at 25 and 35%, but on the hard at 50 or 100%. Surely the wear should be the same percentage across the different lengths?

    @DRudd13 Its the same wear per lap for 25% 35% and 50% thus its faster to do the few laps in the sprint on softs at 25% and 35%

    @DRudd13 Because its more laps than in 35% races, its like for example on a certain track you will have 8% tyre wear with the softs.

    25% = 6 laps *8% wear = 48%
    35% = 8 laps *8% wear = 64%
    50% = 12 laps *8% wear = 96%

    So the tyres would not survive a whole stint at 50% length just because its too many laps but at 35% they will make it without risk of a puncture

    @Meza994 I understand that, But surely If a 100% race is 8% wear per lap. If you do a 25% race it should only be 2% wear and 50 would be 4%

    @DRudd13 In theory the other way around but no it only scales to 2x tyre wear and stays the same for any shorter distances so 100% would be 4% wear per lap and no matter if 50%, 35%, 25% or even shorter its all 8% wear per lap

    There is no further scaling after 50%

    @Meza994 I was just going to edit that and say 50 would be 16 and 25 32. Cheers for the explanation.

    @DRudd13 in the 25% races there is no bug, in the 35% races there is the wear and tear bug but this is solved by removing the presentation lap, if it is disabled there is no tire wear. and in the 50 and 100% races there simply is not the last hard tire from the original allocation available only the hard one we used in the Sprint
