SETUP Vs Practice Time

Drivers make mistakes during practice laps, and all laps for that matter. The laps are not always perfect. The lower the level of the driver the more mistakes they can make.

The image is very small, do you have a larger one?

It might be a couple of days before we can look in to it, but we will. Thanks for waiting.

Please remember we are 3 developers working from home, and right after a big launch like this there so many things pulling for our attention. We're working through everything as fast as we can. :)

Of course I agree... that's why I will work on it as soon as I can. I have to check that there is not a problem with the setup, while the sim developer has to check if there is a problem with the simulator. Then we will talk and see what we find.

But I have much bigger things to work on first, things which are totally breaking the game for some people. It would be wrong to ignore that to check that a lap time is .2 too fast or too slow.

EDIT: Also, I forgot to update the thread when you posted the image. Thanks for that, I mistakenly thought I had let you know we would look into it.

This should be fixed now. I looked in to it and identified a problem and applied a patch. It was related to the migration again, surprise surprise! :)

Now I am seeing a variety of as much as .8s per lap between a bad setup and a good setup at Europe.

Because of the way updates are applied to the server, it's possible that the patch was reverted because I didn't "commit" it to the system until just now. Sam, would you mind if I delete your practice laps and you try again to check if you get the same results?

Your laps are wiped now, you can try again.

Here are my laps for comparison. As you can see, there is a huge difference (1.2s) between a bad setup and a good one, for me. Hopefully it will show something similar for you too.
