Tyre compounds feedback thread

Please post your feedback on the new tyres here, if you think we can improve the balance of the compounds.

If you have any data that can help make your point more clearly, please link to your race results so we can analyse the data and see for ourselves. Thanks!

Is your viewer showing the wrong tyres?

If for any reason you see Intermediate tyres instead of Medium tyres, or Wet tyres instead of Hard tyres, you are using an old cached version of the viewer. The easiest way to tell this is whether the tyre icons in the live timing are round or square. If your icons are round then your viewer is out of date, if they are square then you are up to date.

Here is a guide on how to clear your Java cache:

It's clear that you are running old viewer versions from the screenshot. Please clear your Java cache immediately and reload the viewer.

The simulation is not incorrect, you are running an old version of the viewer, which is showing the old tyres instead of the new ones. If you update your viewer (by clearing the java cache) it will display the correct tyres and offer more options in the strategy dialog.

We will make it force the viewer to update shortly. This should have happened already. The glitch is that your viewer has not updated, it is not that the simulation is broken or that you are actually using the tyres it says you are using.

Just posted a guide in the above post.

Reset your Java cache, guide added to the original post. We are going to be forcing the update to occur without requiring any manual action shortly, which should have been happening already, but wasn't.

No problem, I'll join the chat shortly and arrange that for you.

It has been brought to our attention that the 2D is working just fine, but live timing is not un-caching the older version of the viewer. We are working on a fix for this right now. I will update you when the free viewer / live timing is updated. Subscribers are not having any issues, 2D is working fine.

Until then, anyone using this can consider intermediate tyres to be Medium tyres and Wet (Full) tyres are actually Hard tyres. We will get a new version of the live timing online ASAP to correct this.

This is the bug that has been highlighted. Until this is fixed you can think of the tyres as the following: Soft = Super Soft, Hard = Soft, Intermediate = Medium, Full Wet = Hard. This is not ideal, but it is the only option until this issue is resolved.

Until then, we may open access to 2D for everyone within the next hour or so as a temporary solution.
