Tyres are cold at race start with formation lap turned off - after 1.07 patch

Hello,

I just downloaded the 1.07 patch on Steam and started a Grand Prix event at Portimao to test it out - as usual for me, I had the formation lap turned off.
When I started the race, I noticed that I was REALLY struggling with overall grip throughout the whole first lap. Halfway through the lap, I notice my tyre temps are really low. I decided to start the race again, figuring it was just a small bug -  turns out that now, I start the race with 60-70°C tyres (both carcass and surface). I probably don't need to explain where the problem lies here.
Given how this wasn't an issue before today's patch, I think this is due to the "Tyres are already up to temperature before the Formation Lap" bug fix.

Additionally (although this could be down to my G29 pedals having quite a bit of wear on them), the in-game gas pedal is already at 100%, when IRL I'm only at maybe 70-80%  - I thought this was down to me having increased the Throttle Saturation, but I still have the same issue even if I set that to 0.

  • I have the same problems but then in career mode, my team and co-op career.
  • Using carcass and outer tire temps is broken, AI outlaps tyre temps are not simulated, or not enough, meaning they have lots more grip than the player.

    PLEASE adjsut this ASAP, I've done extensive testing on this issue and it's bad. Until it is fixed the game cannot be played with carcass and outer tire temps selected.

  • @Wollcott This happens in career mode with formation lap turned ON. I start at 70c, do the lap. Finish at 82c, then when the lights come on, the tyres are back to 70c.

    I race in cockpit view, so I see the temps on the mfd. I was thinking it might just be a visual error in the readout on the mfd but I don't think it is.

    Hi everyone, 

    Apologies for the late reply on this. 

    I just wanted to follow up here and let you know this is something we've been looking into. It was also recently added to the Community Raised Issues thread, so please keep an eye out there for updates on this. 

    Thanks!
