Reduce Female Pilot Advantage

I follow. I’d did adjust my original post to include your suggestion of fully equalising weight as well.


For the complicated solution you aren’t wrong but it’s still worth exploring as something that could be implemented in the future. 

How I see the situation is that we need a simple fix for the short term (equalise weight, turn weight off etc) and a longer term fix that will give the game the balance it deserves. 

I also try to keep in mind that iGP is a business and it needs to earn money. So having drivers with desirable qualities to encourage token spend is good for the model. But not when they are as game breaking as the current weight impact on female drivers pace.

Addressing the bugs you list, can’t contest them, some are more annoying than others. The only one I will dive in on here as it is on topic is the tall drivers.

My understanding is that this is less of a bug and more of a ”feature”. Tall drivers prefer a lower ride height and a lower ride height provides a marginal qualification benefit (if it’s the preferred setup, I’ve not tested running drivers below preferred setup to see if that trend continues.) But if it provides a race pace advantage it’s extremely marginal so on the whole that isn’t too much of an issue.

Which is why I find Kevin’s proposal interesting. If you could set it up so that weight counteracts the height you could end up with a variety of drivers which are better in different situations. Which would be good for competition, good for iGP’s financial model, as ultra competitive managers may choose to maintain a stable of drivers with different attributes, with the main downside of it Being that it is pretty complicated, and maybe never being fully balanced and ending up a bit of a waste in time.

I think that kevin solution could be good, but it could be very dangerous so it must be tested.

I think that qualify time is a maths function, so it is only nexessary add a correction to add 5kg to female drivers and 0kg to male drivers.
It will be so easy for the moment; whie for future you can devolop Kevin idea better..

It could be possible also correct for only 4kg, in this way woman has still an dvantage , but lower

I'm reading some solutions ... it would be enough to remove the weight and height factor from the mathematical calculation for the qualification,

Johnny the issue has much more impact in the actual race so whatever solution is implemented (or not, depending on iGP’s view) it needs to be across both qualification and race.

Thanks José, great to see when the team listens to the community!

Good to hear you are looking at solutions to address this.  However, if you go down BMI route maybe you could make weight to height more realistic. Having drivers with BMI of 14 is not a healthy message to be giving your younger players or those with potential health issues around weight.

Thank you José, great news.

Should this not be moved into the Anouncement category or at least have something said in there

Yeah, I agree. I think too much messages like this are hidden in different forum categories. I would appreciate if a note was added to the Announcements

Thanks!
I appreciate it! 
The advantage of woman was very terrible... second only to the introduction of yellow flag....
Now we have to work for improving this game  in the right  way

Any update on what is going to happen with this? Suspense is killing me :/ lol
