Can drivers use KERS automatically?
Or do we control when they use it?
Is it available in 2D mode only?

I don't have 2D mode, is there any point in me spending £20m on it?

1st thing is to search the forums and also check the guide to iGP and it will tell you all the details you need to know.

2nd. The short answer is that the drivers will use their own KERS in the live timings, with the 2D you can have the option to control the KERS when you choose.

The guide doesn't seem to answer the question.

Some answer for the OP:

Yes, you need to buy KERS to be competitive, even in non-2d.  Your drivers will use it on their own at absurd times and most times not use it all - but they will use it.

To compete at top levels though, you need to buy the 2d where you can use KERS for an entire lap (even in braking zones!) to get ridiculous lap times and close impossible gaps.  It's a Pay to Win feature.

With that said, the game is too buggy to be worth what they charge for the 2d.  The only reason I keep playing is the friends in my league, and the calming thought that I've only wasted my time playing a game when it crashes with 3 laps to go, not any real money.

2D viewer works fine for me, I've had no issues in an everday 100% league race for the past 2 months.

You are right David & we can consider ourselves fortunate, because there have been times of disruption. Some races were affected just the other day, which is why so much effort is being put in to identify fixes for these issues.

Both 2d and 1d viewers froze up on us today at 1pm eastern.  2d guys were able to reconnect.  My freebie player came back with java errors on number format, and I couldn't control anything the last 3 laps or chat no matter how many times I reloaded.

Are you able to give me the race id Bill & I can ask for it to be looked at

It looks like 150159.

We seem to get hiccups like that a lot near the end where we lose chat but most of the time a reload works just fine.  Our races start at 12:20 Eastern US and usually end a little before or a little after 1PM Eastern US.

Is there something magical happening about 1PM (I think 5 or 6pm GMT depending on daylight savings)?

This is already known about. The times of peak load are Wednesday around that time & Sunday a little later & this is when we are experiencing issues with the simulator. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience this is causing you.

We are working hard to resolve these problems & hope to have them fixed very soon.
