Hi, with new suppliers it looks like in research I haven't a clear view of other managers level, so it's much more difficult to guess how much points I will get after the race, and how can I push with my point before close the gap (closing the gap won't let me catch one extra point on that skill with research). Is it ok this way or will it be changed?

I have mentioned this to Jack and he and I will be discussing it soon to address this.

I personally like not seeing it on that screen. The whole concpt of the research screen is to 'spy' on the teams perfomance in car design, not performance thats come from suppliers. If you get extra points because a team is a long way ahead in ACC because of supplier bonuses and then they change their supplier you could potentially have a better element that the team you are spying/copying from, which seem odd to me.
Thats might thoughts anyways...
maybe you could show what each team suppliers are in the team view (ie where you see their drivers and staff?) I dont see this as an issue as in real life these things arent a secret...

There was already a small update addressing this. While supplier bonuses were not calculated for spying gains in the first place they are now no longer shown in the car design comparison table as well.

I see no problem in not knowing the other teams suppliers. While those are no secret in reality the car design of another team on the other hand is. Now in the game we know the car design, at least for the best team(s), pretty well. So not knowing what bonus they get helps in retaining at least some mystery about the competitions cars. But that's another topic.

Hi Ace, as Frank says, we recently removed showing bonuses or weaknesses in the research menu.

Your logic matches mine exactly, and sums it up much better than I did in my post in the announcement forum.
