Auto load car setups per track

This is a lazy desire I'm suggesting here.
Basically the idea is: If the car has a setup on a specific track, when I press 'start engine' and the game loads the track and car(s), the setup should also load with it. (if possible, with an option in game settings to tick/untick 'automatically load car setup').


When possible and when with some free time, this would be neat to have. *.* Sometimes I pass on creating a setup for a more competitive car or adjusting the ffb for each car. I'm a casual racer, so for let's say, laziness, I just use a default setup and general FFB for all cars. For me, is quite a chore to have to setup and load each time I'm driving a bit. Thanks a bunch in advance


edit: if one doesn't have a setup per track, but instead he only has one setup he saved under Generic, then that should be loaded, unless the track where a player is joining has a setup for it specifically.

 

I agree, the ability to set a default setup for a certain car and track is very useful, I use it a lot in rFactor.

 

will be nice to have, but not a must

 

Quite agree. It would be a nice bit of extra polish.

 

It'd be nice to get python API functions for setup handling - loading a setup from disk & saving current setup to disk would enable us to implement all of this in apps

 

Don't want to open another thread; talking about multiplayer shared setups. Read on steam forums from a non-customer of the game asking about that feature. He said a belgian race group wanted a new sim and were looking for the multiplayer shared setups feature, saying that was a decisive factor to choose the game. So they went with rf2. Discussion here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/244210/discussions/0/626329186960813192/

I understand that is a niche game feature, but how important could it be? I think he comes from the older sims where this was possible.. but in the end all the older sims had features newer sims didn't include or simplified.

If not, steam workshop for shared setups?

 

This feature is already available via ptracker / stracker apps

 

Thanks didn't know, I'll post in that topic these two apps. ptracker and stracker

 

Found out I can use the the "last" setup from Generic in the Setup I/O. Works with game restarts. At least this saves me some trouble from constantly having to manually change gain value per car.

 

The ai should use my Setup automatically

this would solve the problem of not being able to race the AI on suboptimal tyres

 

The problem I'm having is finding where AC gets the "generic - Default" setup from. I think it must be inside the .kn5 for the car... Not being able to auto-load a "favorite" or just save a new default setup is all that keeps me from driving the race cars in Oculus Rift mode. I come up with the same result as @Quffy, save the -last setup, but still when the launcher loads the car up it automatically has the "generic - Default" setup somehow.

 

Don't save the setup which is called "last". That's the thing, it automatically stores the last setup values you had, next time you use that car select it and load it. But my suggestion to devs is for automatically loaded setup, the same way track and cars load when going to a track. And an option in general to select whether we want it to auto load or not. Thank you in advance if reading this, Kunos devs.

 

Also would be good to load setup per track on startup, but maybe it is too much asking....

 

What do you mean, I'm not sure if I understood correctly, but isn't it the same as what I'm suggesting?

 

I think I misunserstood, you were talking about loading the setup "last" on startup, but that setup is the very last you used the last time with this car, and not the last you used on this combo . I though you were not implying a setup per track, but it seems I was wrong .

 

Yep I'm talking about user created and saved setups per track. Or also user created, but saved under Generic, which means the person wants to use that setup for all tracks.

 

hi,

did you find any way around this?

 

The "last" setup stores the last values you defined. So don't click save "last", you only need to load it when you use the car. Is under Generic track.

 

i'm not sure you understand the issue here.

using the rift, i don't have access to the menus or the garage, so i can't load a setup when i get into a session.

when i change something in the setup, it gets reset back to default when i join other sessions.
