Hello, 
I would suggest this feature:



  • AI adjust push level to optimal tyre temperature;

  • from the moment you join a race, push level control becomes 100% manual for the rest of the race,even if you leave and don't return;

  • AI can adjust push level only one time in a lap



Thanks.

Great Idea.

However if it's controlling push levels in correlation to tyre tempeture adjusting it only once per lap doesn't add up. 

But the concept is solid.

Thank you.

I suggested that AI can change the push level only once per lap to prevent it from becoming too efficient compared to a human manager.

If you have auto push why turn up.
Right now its set so ppl who attend races have an advantage, if you auto it less site activity

The fact that someone has to point out how useless drivers are regardless of their talent, is sad. 
I wonder what Ferrari would've said to schumacher if he waited for his crew manager to tell him when to make every move? 

My point is that a talent 20 driver shouldn't have to be babysat by managers so closely. Otherwise what's the point?  

I like  Matteo's idea primarily because it addresses that void. Yes I know.....not everyone would agree/like/adapt to it..... but hey....we all have different pov's about the game's current status as it is. Ultimately a flood of ideas will eventually ignite a process that will work.

Don't like the idea since it gives inactive people a big advantage. One of the largest things that stops inactive managers from doing well is tyre temps, as soon as something like this is introduced we could see a massive influx of non live racers winning races and because of that more complaints from new players that there's no point to showing up (there are some people who believe this already).
And there's no need to compare this game to F1, they aren't the same thing. For this game to be fun and interactive you must give the player something to do during races and therefore a reason to race too!

OK, I've heard about this "advantage" that would this idea be in place create.  
However, the other side has the exact pov about it; they don't stand a chance at progressing through the next stage unless they show up to races. To depend on either circumstance would seem an advantage to some and a disadvantage to others.

Would this idea stop managers from showing up to live races? Since such option hasn't been available(to my knowledge), there's no data to support that argument thus far. We can speculate all we want though. 
I'm sure when the idea of having leagues introduce their own tire rules and policies players had similar concerns. We now know that when implemented right, the process works. I don't foresee  Matteo's idea being any different. It just has to work out all the bugs out of it.. just like any other new implementation so that said advantages and/or disadvantages don't have a detrimental influence on any particular manager.  

Wasn't trying to compare iGP to F1 Leo... I was however comparing the management aspect of running a business and its decision making process.

Remove the advantage by making it painfully simple. At the start finish line if your tyres are in the acceptable limit, no change. If your tyres are hot, it’s drops down one PL, if your tyres are cold it increases PL.

It simply keeps managers competitive when unable to attend the race rather than getting blown out into the low teens. 

This would not give better results as compared to a manager managing their PL throughout a lap to take advantage of fast and slow sections of the race. All it would do is keep tyres performing at an appreciable level rather than cooking or going cold

That sounds painfully simple!! I would think that would address both side of the equation.  The game's AI does a similar thing with tires already, why not PL's?....

This sounds awesome. Would at least make inactive teams even remotely competitive. As is it now, not much fun in blowing by drivers on cold mediums. 

Maybe even just add a checkbox in setup, where managers have to activate the automation each race. Then at least they’d have to show up and set it.

or you attend some races to learn at which pl and temperature the tyres work and you will be fine, no need for that Tool.
its a manager, so learn how to manage tyres. if everything gets automated the game will be boring.

I Love play live, but for some reasons (work, family, other important think)  I can't always participate.
Sometimes skipping a few races compromises the efforts of an entire championship, for this reason I thought about auto push level.

A possible varianti could be: Manager Assistant!



  • if you know that you cannot go live, you could buy with some token the assistant which manages the push level for the next race.

  • from the moment you join a race, push level control becomes 100% manual for the rest of the race,even if you leave and don't return;

  • if you buy the assistant and go live, you will be not refound.



The hiring price of the assistant should be high enough to be used only on a few races.

Ok ok.... you were doing well Matteo....you are starting to go south on us now...We must restrain ourselves from any application that may turn iGP into a full on pay-to-win game. 

This just needs to be an option available to every manager without financial re precautions similar to the tire's advance settings. In fact I almost think it could be manage from the same page as the the advance settings.

if and just if its made, it should be made like matteo said, that you have to pay. why should someone attend when there is no advantage for attending? 
then you have the choice to spend either time or money to win. still don't like the idea, because i think you have to do something to win. everyone who has Not enough Time can join a less competitive league where he can afford to just attend half of the races. 
i have been in leagues where i finished races 3rd without attending(elite tier Reputation 8000+)

We really want this game to have more reason to play not less, player activity is what all game makers want so to something that means thkse that attend races can be beaten by the computer is a bad idea.

If you cant attend races pick a league where the race times are better for you.

As i said we need more choices in the game not less

I don't think it would turn into a pay to win at all. It would be a "pay to not get slaughtered" lol

Like he mentioned earlier, only adjust PL once a lap, right after they cross the line. 
If cold, +1. If hot, -1. Simple. While between hot and cold, nothing happens. 

So AI would not do any push from first couple laps at least. And the whole race would constantly go back and forth from frozen tyres to overheated tyres. 

As of right now, my time slot got bumped back an hour from daylight savings. 
My races are at 9pm, every monday I have hockey at 9pm. Pretty much guarunteed to finish mid pack when I should be a contender for championship. So yea, I'd pay 5 coins to at least just keep my temps semi decent.

"why should someone attend when there is no advantage for attending?"
The attending managers would still be at the advantage, being able to keep their tyres at optimal level, using boost at strategic points etc.

Dan, I can assure you that might be easy for Europeans.. but as an Aussie I played in an 8am league from the beginning and it took me a move across australia and about 6mths to find a league that was active, competitive and had a time that worked for me.


With the shite league finding system as it is, it’s not as simple as snapping your fingers and finding a league. Not to mention the people make the league, not the time

maybe, this could be a seriose way, if the feature is limited for 2-3 times for each season!
