For none 2d managers watching the timing screen we are able to see our position etc.. and complete unschedualed pit stops, how ever we cant see the fuel levels that are in the car, i think this would be a welcomed improvement so that managers can make accurate desisions during the race.
Thanks

You should be making those decisions prior to the race bud. If you failed to calculate properly then it's your loss. If you feel you need to keep an eye on your fuel, then support the game :)

£4 for about 30 races if you are in an everyday league? rather worth it tbh :)

I lost both cars in one race because of not seeing fuel.
As usual I told both drivers the last half lap to go hard to the pits.
Both run out of fuel in the pits!
I did calculate the fuel proper before the race - what I didn't realize is that they had done one more lap then expected, because of driving under "bring the car home".

That is not realistic and wouldn't happen in real live - and I have no Idea, why that important information is hidden!
I did last season as a paying member and do now as non paying - still running well. But those things kill the fun.

And it's one reason, why I will retire at the end of the season.
The other is that you are able to win with softs under 34 degrees Celsius on tracks with very hard tire wear, doing the same strategy like others on hard tires - that's ridiculous. The last race we had 22 of 25 cars doing the same strategy in Turkey - because if you do other strategy you have lost - that's really boring.
The last point to retire: The gameplay didn't really improve since december and to me it still feels like I'm a beta tester, as the number of bugs and missing things are legion.

It is simple, lemme guide you through fueling.
[list]
[*]Laps*fuelPerLap=TotalFuel
[*]100/tireWear = stintLap
[*]stintLap*fuelPerLap= stintFuel
[*]stintFuel + Round up + 1 or 2 litres = Fuel Stint!
[*]Repeat until you have enough laps to fill your race.
[/list]
There is absolutely no shame in over fueling,
British GP is your next race? I have no shame in giving you this setup cause the track is getting changed in the future.

Start> Soft Tires with 55 Litres of Fuel
Stop1> Soft Tires with 55 Litres of Fuel

For Qualifying - Set to Push Hard
For Racing - Set to Hold Position

Good Luck :)

No Idea on what you want to tell me. Even all is well known.

That was an incident that only happened, because I didn't see the amount of fuel loaded:
If I had known, they are low on fuel (because they did one more lap than calculated) I never would have changed the push level in that last lap.
I often change the push level during the race, depending on the situation - and therefor it is essential to know how much fuel is in.

As a paying member since december  I do not agree - if we loose the non paying members, we can stop playing, as the most leagues would be empty.
So we should see, that they would not be disadvantaged to much and still will have fun playing the game.

It is a valid point/request although as he stated "what I didn't realize is that they had done one more lap then expected" so that is a manager error at present although having more fuel information shown would probably have prevented this

Its a good suggestion & IMO wouldnt give live timing users any advantage either

Can we keep discussion on topic and not end up with a subscriber vs non subscriber etc

agree 100% with the orginal post would help, if you a noobie like me and have a poor Technical Director giving you the wrong info, typically telling you, you need more fuel then you act need it would be helpfull to see fuel consumption/levels per lap so you can change your fueling levels at your next pit, its prob taking it abit far but id also like to see tyre wear levels on the timing board

I agree with J.P. Vaillant here totally: Non-paying members can't see the race and do not have the fun and thrill - fine. But they should see thier fuel load and they should see their tyre usage as well from my point of view.
I don't want to win, because I pay. Thats neither sportmansship, nor is it rewarding.

Regarding David: That means at least I support the question of the topic: Lets see them the same info we subscribers have.

Im not trying to complain, and im quite confident at working out fuel before the race and adjusting for that race, i just thought that it would add a bit more to the game as it gives a more interactive feel which would run in line with the live timing. i dont personally think i would gain an advantage during the race as im sure every ones experienced the same thing which is trying to be clever during a race and end up 5 places behind where they would of finished without medaling. Its good to see how much more fuel a driver uses when pushing at different rates and will enable people to adjust better in later races.

Suggestion: Support the game and you will help get more than just couple of features, you will help to create more.

Thank you very much - that statement (and other similar) effectuates that I will not renew my subsription.
I don't want to support such kind of purblindness and discrimination of people having less money.
I would like to say more, but I'm sure that would harm the forums rules...

@ V.P. Vaillant - Can i just point out that the comments posted on the forum are not the views of the developers.
It is a 'forum' and people have the freedom to voice their opinions which are not nessesarily correct.

@ everyone - Too many people are getting pissed-off with comments and then abandoning the game because they 'think' that it is developing in a bad way.
This game is very new and has a long way to go - so please can everyone just understand that this is all discussion and not the future (or indeed present) plans of the game!

@J.P.: I don't want you to talk about "ending". Can we agree you mean "having a break"? ;-)

I Paid my money but my 2D engine doesnt work!

Its not hard to put a tyre degredation and fuel level on the non 2D timer.

Should be there as standard.
