Quote ( Mikko Heikkinen @ August 1st 2014,18:52:56 ) Yes they would
Some people would grow tired of always choosing the dry tyres, as most races are dry
(and some use always the same compound)
Fair enough.
Quote ( Mikko Heikkinen @ August 1st 2014,18:52:56 ) After the first step, naturally this would be the next step
Good point.
So if we came at it from the default being "nothing selected" then, in your opinion, people would favour a default tyre choice that matches the weather conditions. Makes sense. :)

Personally i would make it random selection by nature just so you HAVE to chose a tyre.
If you cant be arsed to choose a tyre or check that you have the right tyre....

The more I read the comments, the more I think that having default setting being empty for tyre choice is the way forward because:
- It forces people to actively make a choice on tyre.
- It doesn't assist in anyway with which tyre should be used for each race.
- It aligns better with most of the other parts of set up, which are also blank.
- It doesn't totally reduce the risk of making a mistake (which is good because we want this game to be a challenge).
So, I have changed my mind and blank gets my vote, for what it's worth.

but players can't really make a mistake if it is blank :)
as Mikko pointed out :
Quote ( Mikko Heikkinen @ August 1st 2014,17:59:09 ) a vital part of any game (and life) is the possibility of making mistakes.
Leaving it blank means less players will make mistakes, and that is bad for the game (as much as we might and do hate the mistake aspect).
|
|
|
|
|
And if you fail to make a choice, does it flag this for you, or does it work like setup, and default to your Q2 settings?
|
|
|
|
Attention to detail is part of the game. Making NO mistakes is the goal.
Professional teams that make mistakes, (ie. penalty minutes or long pit stops) generally lose the game.
This 'mistake/error in playing' has occurred to me because.. I was not paying enough attention, so I was penalized. What's the problem with logical outcomes?
The game should change for those that are inconvenienced, by making a mistake in qualifying? I don't think that is a benefit to the community.

and if: Race Setup & strategy can be reset after every race :-(

There is a reason why it isn't.

I just wanted to delete a message today and after pushing the Delete button, i've received a message telling me (are you sure you want to delete the message ?)....
update your car and you will have to confirm your choice, sponsor ... same thing. You delete a message... same thing.
You Q with wrong tyre.... Nop this is your responsability. If your not able to choose right you're doing something wrong and you dont deserve a good Q position. ;-D Realy funny.

Erm GO tells you if your on the wrong tyres for the start so I presume you don't use GO?

Your first batch of examples are instances where once you approve the change, its permanent. The window asking to confirm is there to keep an accidental keystroke or mouse click from totally boning you.
If you accidentally choose the wrong tyres, you can at any point up until close of Q go back to race setup screen and make changes.

I did nt do this mistake for many season now, but after reading the comment in this topic and after receving the (confirm ) message in my mail box.. yes I think it is indeed pretty funny to be asked if I realy want to delete my message. And if by mistake I chose the wrong tyre I wont get any message. Witch one is the most important for the game ? the messages or the tyre ;-p

LOL
guess who did not change his tyres for the start of the race :-)
I guess if some people had their way it would be warning boxes everywhere :D

Warning: You are about to see a Warning Box.

Somehow I'm not surprised to see this topic back to frontpage :-)

GO tells you just use that!

i do i did not update that for the same reason i did not check start tyres. a notification the nex time i logged in would have prevented this.

I guess the friendliest way is to have the start tyre box unselected, not letting you complete your race setup until you actually pick a tyre. After all, in certain races which is the wrong tyre?

Thing is you must of gone onto the race strategy page to do your fuel and set up for the race :)
I just fail to see the need in a management game for warning boxes every time you might make a mistake.
Kinda takes the management out of it :)

I might have said something along these lines on a similar matter:
I do understand the sentiment behind it, but at the same time I recognize that the possibility of making mistake(s) is vital.
Mistakes of one is the chance for someone else to rise above their regular level.

Vote for the blank defaults. Warning would be fine, too. What are we paying the staff for? They should all be sacked if they can't at least make sure we really want to drive with wrong tyres... plenty of ways to make other, more meaningful mistakes still left, too.
And no, haven't done the mistake recently myself, thank you for asking.

No i gained an extra position thanks for someone putting on dry tires after there first pit.
He was 2nd for most the race as well, and then pitted and came out with dry tires on and didn't pit until tires were worn and still had dry's on.

5 years on from the original post and still some of the same morons appear here.....You know who you are !!!

just remember ladies and gents
YOU are the boss, not the driver.
If you, the boss, tell the team to put rain tyres on, then the skivvies that work for you put on rain tyres.
Just the same as the start of a race...... it's raining and the almighty team boss tells the team to put slicks on the car as he is sure it will stop raining pretty soon.
In short, you are the boss, the buck stops with you, get it right or go home. When you do get it right, generally the driver does his job, the team does their jobs and you get a good result

Wait a minute Mr Kasar, that's like saying it would be my fault...:p
|

Stuart, it can't be your fault!!!
That would mean, I have to accept responsibility for not entering Wet CT risks in the last race. Darn must have cost me something?
Admins should ensure the 'risks check box' has to to have manual input, to verify that the manager really wants...
wtf? If the manager wants to play, let him. He can complain but it doesn't change the facts, mistakes are his fault. The buck, does stop here at the managers desk.
In any competition he/she (or the team) who makes the least errors / makes the least mistakes than others, will out perform.
It's really simple.

Alternatively, one could say that the skivies put on rain tyres, because the almighty boss said so before last race, and did not happen to mention anything this time, but why bother asking...
And, as almighty boss I want to have the option to fire everyone who doesn't have enough brains or backbone to ask, then!
