With last daily gift i got 2Xideal setup, but the ideal setup isn't always the faster setup. With this "gift" however, isn't possible to change the setup.

Is possible to change the system to allow the managers to change the setup also after have bought the ideal setup paying the tokens or after have recived it as gift?

I'd like to have the choice if to use or not the ideal setup, expecially when it isn't the faster. Thanks.

You have up to 5 practice laps to decide what setup top use. Gift or no gift.

are you serious???? when you recive or buy the ideal setup you can do all practice laps you want but when change page and return in the practice page the setup return at the ideal setup automatically and start the race with the ideal setup. you cannot to decide nothing.

Look

I don't see any test laps completed.  Great, more bugs for the devs to deal with. lol!!


To be fair, I have yet to get the ideal setup as a gift.  It's not a difficult thing to get. There's a few references on this subject on the "help and support" forum as well.

it's the same after laps completed and it's the same if buy the ideal setup. when you buy or recive it is impossible to change it and hardly never is the faster setup.

Well, if the ideal setup, regardless if was free or paid for, isn't the ideal setup, I'd post that as a bug on that part of the forums. That being said, if you record what setups your drivers like, there would be no need to use the ideal setup button.  Or, go to the advance guide where someone has shared the baseline ideal setup for each track. iGP Advance Guide

The GB setup is for the old iteration, but is close enough to the ideal for the current iteration.  For rain races, add 12 to each value as a baseline.  Suspension setting is the same regardless if the track is wet or dry.

but are you serious or are you idiots?
1- the setup in the guide isn't the ideal setup because the ideal setup depends about the characteristics of the pilot (for my pilots is 2 point less in height from the heigt shown in the guide).
2- in the new GB the ideal setup is (for my pilots) F-8-3 and was F-10-3 while the guide says F-12-3
3- the ideal setup isn't the faster. For example today i play in montecarlo; the ideal is S-20-20, but the faster is S-21-20 that's 120-150ms faster than the ideal.

how long have you been playing? it has always been this way. The ideal isn't the faster almost always.

I would like only to can change the setup even after bought or recived as gift the ideal setup. Simple.

What makes you think ideal setup isn't the fastest? Do five practice laps without changing any settings and you'll most likely get five different lap times. The reason is that the driver will not set identical times on identical settings so there is no absolute correlation between settings and lap time.
Just use the practice laps to find the ideal settings (if you haven't got them recorded) and to check fuel consumption, don't read too much into the lap times.
And the real benefit of applying auto ideal setup is that it automatically adjusts if the weather changes.

No need to be offensive, please stay calm and polite on the forum.

And this is where you are wrong. Always listen to your driver when doing setup, the ideal setup is also the one that your driver will say is best. Practice times may suggest there is a faster setting, but as Kevin said: if you do 5 practice laps with the same settings, you will also see a spread in lap times.

Over the course of the race the ideal setup will always be faster, you will not find any top manager in this game who doesn't use the setup of which his driver says it's the best.

Confirmed.   


Having said that, why would you want to change your driver's setup preference? That's just asking for chaos come race day.

i want to can change the setup because the ideal setup isn't the fastest. the ideal setup can be a solution to know around which setup to search the fastest but isn't the fastest so, sould be good to allow at the manager to choose the setup and don't at the system. for example in the last gp of australia in wet condition the ideal setup for me was N-30-23, but N-31-22 was 0,3sec faster. the gift ideal setup, without to can change the setup, isn't a gift. is a trap.

There would be no chaos. If you want to play with ideal setup you won't change anything, if you want to change you'll can. and if after the free practices you want to choose the ideal setup you can because you know it yet. No chaos.

Sorry mate, you are definitely confused about what the practice laps do vs. race day.  You`re fixated about your practice laps times. They have 0 relevance come race day....0!  The only objective of practice laps is to get your driver`s prefer setup...there`s no hidden agenda here. Of course it doesn`t hurt that you also get fuel consumption data, a bonus. 


But in no way shape or form is the lap times generated from practice laps any indication whatsoever of how your driver will perform in the upcoming race. 

Take the Ìdeal  setup`` gift and take a deep breath realizing everything is as it should.

How can you be so sure about that when you only have 5 random laps to see the difference. I have seen other mention this too but don't understand how they can know that for sure. Perhaps if you had 20 practice laps you would be able to see a statistical difference.

I am too new and inexperienced to say you are wrong, I am just asking how you can know, so I might learn something!
