Can i suggest we get rid of the wear reset at the season reset. It just makes the last few races so uncompetative and dull.

You sure the last few races are not competitive? How about those who still fight for promotion or to avoid relegation?
And you say that now ... But when you'll start smoking yourself in the final few races, you will want the wear reset back, no? :)

This will be my third race of smoking and I think it's stupid. Financially there is no way I could make back the money it would cost to keep the car running. Equally in terms of those avoiding relegation, it's just about how you perform in the last 3 races. The rest of the season could have no relevance, and this is because people who are safe don't push.

I did push last race (and went 10m negative to do that), just for the sake of it. As my retention was already sure. The game is not only about winning, but having fun - so worry less about money and race !

I happened to find the last race in your group one of the most exciting I've ever seen on GPRO.

It's called 'management'. Some think it's stupid ... But it's part of the game.
Would you prefer to throw away money at the start of every season to fix your car because it wasn't reset during the season reset? I'm not quite understanding why you'd want more expenses during the season.

And smoking 3 races doesn't sound very smart, you could gain more if you CT0 and finish races with new parts.

Andrei, everytime someone asks for more money they get shouted down for just wanting the game to be easier. I don't think asking why he wants less money is a valid counter here as that just means the finance management part of this can't ever change (get shouted down for asking for more, shouted down for asking for less).
Having said that I don't agree with the suggestion as it makes the rest of the season relevant. If someone can't be sure of retaining/promotion in the first 14 or so races then they have to spend more money to do that while people who have ensured their season goals have been met are rewarded by allowing them to only focus on financial concerns. Fastest lap is still there for smokers to aim for (plus having been on 0ct for the season made it fun to be able to go to 100 for once (well twice as I will do it in Sochi too).

Why not shout it down for more expenses?
Yes, I get it ... people might want finance management to change at some point. But introducing more expenses isn't necessarily a good thing, is it? Unless they're compensated by extra revenues. And I don't see any extra revenues in this situation ... or maybe I'm missing something.

Trust me, it's by far the most profitable thing to do. I've spent a lot of effort checking it.
I think the main point is that there wouldn't be a financial penalty for going racing in the last few races. Also it's a bit magical that your car repairs itself magically. But I know the response will be that it's not based on real life and is just a game.

If you actually do 90% of the race. If you don't, it's not terribly profitable. You might even lose money in those races.

The mechanics repair the car in the off-season. What's magical about that? :)
Also ... Juniorism. But not really that relevant. :)

I'm not saying it's always the case, just me this season.

But in A106 you can be fighting for podiums on 0 CT with an untrained driver and level 3 parts, surely that is more cost-effective than smoking through the races at the back.

Andrei: maybe he feels there is too much money in the game or if people agree that peoplrle should be encouraged not to smoke then the revenue part can be discussed at a later date (before implementation obviously) but I feel some argument is required to dismiss it. Anyway despite that I don't agree with it for the reasons I stated (though given my lack of exp I don't expect my own to be the deciding opinion).
Jed: I guess it also depends on what needs to be replaced. If half the car or more needs replacing then it won't be worth it for 1-2 races. It is at least possible, no idea about the likelihood.

My next question is: What about GPRO on phone?

Web browsers do you mean or an actual app?

Quote ( Wiktor Orman @ October 7th 2014,17:47:33 ) My next question is: What about GPRO on phone?
With so many available phones and web browsers capable of doing anything on GPRO (except for Opera Mini, that can't run qualifying due to the way it operates)
Doing an app means adapting it to multiple hardware (screens, environments, Operating system versions etc).
Meanwhile any phone based web browser will do whatever you need.
Also there is an android app that will keep track of your grid position and let you watch the race in offline mode.

I'd like to propose an improvement in Shortlist page. I think there is only "remove a driver/td" or "remove all". Maybe I'm wrong because I'm not GPRO supporter right now. But if this is not the case, I miss a way to select one or more drivers/td (or all of them) and a "remove selected" option.
This way you can delete 3, 4 or 35 drivers in a more comfortable way.

Gpro is available on phones!! 👍 I think the improvement that should be there is the safety car should be shown in a few races. And if a driver has problems with his/her car then they should have a probability to crash and that crash effect should be there . I know that it will be hard to make all this happen but just a suggestion guys !!
|

Like I was saying, Web Browser or an app?
If web browser, you can easily get internet up and log into GPRO any time if you have WiFi access. If you mean an app, like Eduardo said "doing an app means adapting it to multiple hard wares" which now, is quite hard and time consuming to do but in the future it's a possibility definitely (hopefully!) .

I actually like the idea of having a GPRO app, but it would take more effort by the admins than they have time to take on themselves.

Just took this quote I said on my group's forum and I think it's quite a good idea. What are your ideas?
Quote ( Christopher Oldham @ October 7th 2014,18:38:29 ) Just purposely demand my driver "You see Ovia's car over there? You do? Good, smash him to pieces!!!!!"
Which if you were watching race live, that you could tell drivers to do things like 'Pit now instead of 2 laps later as you will be ahead of so-and-so.'

You can still run 100 CT risks and "force his way to the front" at the start ; easy man. :oP

This has been suggested about a thousand times. It´s not goin to happen as it would be unfair to managers who can´t watch the race live.

Yeah, just a little banter going on between Ovia, Ian and myself!

Dont like using 100CT (its against my religion). As a supporter feature we should be allowed to have missiles on the cars! (my religion supports this). Obviously on two or 3 missiles as the game would need to remain realistic.
