"More complex pit-stop system"

Can someone explain me what it involve? Because the only difference i see it's the pit crew work around your car but i admit i still have to try it in race game mode.

I was expecting some "pit strategy" window in the menu

 

I didn't even see the pit crew. Where are they? What do you do to see them?

 

I can't see them either.

 

It looks buggy. It's the first time I see them ingame. Which game mode? And how many laps u did before you went to the pit?

 

I tried the 0.3 only in hotlap mode and it was here, the video looks like a quick race.

 

I tried it in hotlap mode to, works OK. I took this shot in replay mode not sure whats up with the car.

 

Which graphical setting influences the visibility of the pitcrew?

 

Yup, replay it's a bit buggy

I think they are here by default, no need to set option

 

The only buggy thing I can see, the mechanics are building the car in FRONT of the garage

 

It might depent on the session. Hotlap=Pitcrew, Practice=no Pitcrew

 

I did a couple of test yesterday and looks like this.

 

It looks weird if the car stop at inaccurate position then the car will suddenly teleport into the box, can Kunos make it start auto drive before the car approach to the pit box? Auto drive into the accurate position animation will looks much natural.

 

Thak you Aris!

I admit i'm a bit sad but i can understand that there is more important things to fix, keep it up!

 

No discussions about this imho.

 

I'm against any sort of "Auto-Drive", Entering Pit Lane and going through a Pit procedure is part of racing and time is lost or gained on a successful Pit Lane transition. If a driver is out of position and the crew have to move his car to the correct one then he should lose time, compared to a driver who enters his pit stall correctly wastes no time and is able to have a quicker pit stop. Races can be won and lost in Pit Lane, lets not make it the same for everyone as that just isn't racing

 

Okay i get your point... Bug report, where is the lollipop man?

 

thank you Aristotelis!

one question: as far as i know there is a required "under minimum" or "over maximum" pitting time. i mean you can have shorter pit stop as x seconds which allows you only change tyres (or only refuel, i'm not sure). but if you do refuel and change tyres your pit stop must be longer than y seconds. pitting time can't be between x and y (x<y) seconds.
is there any plan to make this in the game?

one more note: in the end the pit process should be fine-tuned as refuelling and changing tyres are not allowed in the same time (and makes double-stinting tyres having no sense as there is no time advantage)

i'm sure it's not an easy task, but it would be good to know what is planned with that

 

I'm missing the lollipop man too. Would be great if the lollipop board had collision to make it obvious that you have reached the perfect position when stopped.
