but no, is used automatically by your driver(s) during the race to defend positions normally

It doesnt usually defend positions, its just a tool which drivers used to re-overtake people to be awkward.

I am a subscriber, and i drive with some none substribers. The using of KERS by the nonsubriber drivers is very inelligent implementated. Great work of developers of the game!  But in 2D, you have some options, which are impossible to implement. Very good work there of the developer ;)

Why on earth are the batteries not charged up before the race starts? The take a complete age to charge up, whats the point of having KERS if their next to useless.

KERS are recharged by braking thus why theyre not ready race start, and KERS is definetly useful

Like F*** it is. This is supposed to be a Management game simulating the management of an F1 team. That's what I've read with all the promotion they did before the game was launched. Even on the login page it says it's a "F1 Manager Game"

If not, I want a refund of my money.

What do you mean it's useless? I've seen guys gain 4-5 positions in the last lap by saving their kers for last lap of a race. It's not useless by any means.

Chill out Ethan.

i do understand your frustation ethan but this game isnt based entirely on real life, after all we get like 80 or so seconds of KERS (maybe more idk) to use over the course  of the race. but yh you might be right. Id rather see it every lap or so, maybe once it runs out like 20 or so corners to fully recharge. The laps will be even faster then :P

KERS in-game takes the first few laps to charge up until the bar is full, from there you will have approximately 90 seconds of small boost to give to your each car over the duration of the rest of the race.

How you use it is up to you in 2D, but without 2D the AI uses it which means no one is at a loss.

Once used after fully charged, the KERS does not recharge at all.

I'm pretty sure you guys all know how KERS works in real F1, and can see the slight change to the system the game has incorporated, as I really wouldn't want to use KERS every lap as it'd be 'click click click click' for over an hour.

Hope this explains a bit for people, and gives Ethan a reason not to chuck his toys out of the pram again.

Ryan: just to add, dont you have your drivers using KERS instead of yourself?

That's another thing, I told my drivers to use it in the settings, yet they never touched their KERS. Had to do it manually.

if the button is ticked, they will use it at certain points during a race where they feel they get a use from it and will use it allbefore the race finishes.. IF e.g your in clear air all the time, theres no "logical" reason to use KERS so it would be used in the final laps of the race

Ok... Lets clear this Ethan situation 100%...

It wasn't 10 laps in before this all kicked off...

1st was the fact that he thought KERS charged up every lap when it states in the rules about it - http://igpmanager.com/play/?url=rules

(Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) - The charge of KERS is generated under braking, usually over several laps, at the start of a race. In iGP Manager KERS only charges once and is not to be used on a lap-by-lap basis, but strategically throughout the race.)

2nd They won't use it within the 1st few laps of a race because they will actually use their brains from the mid way point to the end.. They will use it to gain time on others or defend places... for me, the way it's set up is superb, it really works well...

3rd. I told him about the KERS and then checked his drivers, once had about 15% used and the other was 100% used... (before lap 10 btw)

So its NOT iGP who are to blame at all, it's just the lack of reading rules and so on.... Lesson learnt and a slap on the wrist.

No I don't. I choose to use KERS manually.

You have that option if you use 2D but the only advantage that brings is the ability to use it when you want rather than let the AI choose to use it.

Reagarding 2nd, just to point that out: They don't use it first laps as it's loading up first time. You just can't use it until it's fully loaded, so no Kers in first laps naturally.

"it's the lack of reading rules and so on." *grin*
