Advanced Strategy in a nutshell

A new situation in live:
My friend made this strategy S I I .
W over 3mm
Rains stopped after qualification.
At beginning  he can change starting tyre Only between I and W. Is it correct? 
Till july  I am sure that it was possible choose tyre between W I and S (because  S was in basic strategy)

I after 0 laps

Ok, thanks!

Hidden option still works....
Strategy 18 I 16 I 16 I 13  and an additional S
W over 3mm
S after 20laps
Rains stopped at laps 56.
My car put S at lap 57....

I continue to day that this kind of advanced must be changed!
Hidden option still works! Before than advanced 2..

In the same race:
Strategy only I. Put W over 3mm
Pur S after 5 laps.
First pit stop after 5 laps of first rain stop but suddenly it bagan to rain and he continue with S till further pit stop when it put I. 
At lap 56 he put S.... why????

Drivers Byron and Villeneuve

No, my strategy cover all the race with I. You can check the link of the report at the end and it is clear that last stint on I cannot be so short. 

The additional S was on purpose to check hidden option. 

I am agree with you that NOW additional stint with S is wrong.

However there were still 1.6mm of water when my driver put S... it doesn't happen  before in this way... before he was waiting 0mm before change..

Villeneuve:  the problem is the the first time rain stopped, he wait 5 laps for putting S (like advanced 2 was organized) but the second  time , he put S immediately (he had 1 lap less than my driver)... like he was the same strategy with finalmente S like me... but it wasn't 

This situation is worst than with my driver...

1) an answer begun with "maybe" confirms that advanced startegy must be modifyed. Isn't it? 

2) no, i put 20 laps in advanced 2... it pasted more than 40 laps...

3) water never arrived at 0mm in that race

If you deliberately change it, why iGP should change "back" to the tyres of 4th option. It doesn't make sense to me.

If i don't put S in the last stint , hidden option doesn't work. However, I was expecting that water reach 0mm and in this way, he will put S, but he decided to put S when there are 1.6mm not zero...

I still don't understand why you put 13 laps on last stint, it would require a 5th stint even in normal conditions.

18+16+16+13=63 and the race is for 63 laps... 5th stint is not necessary

When I mention it waits to put S in 0.0mm water is because the dry tyre is in the MAIN strategy.

I wanted put S when there are 0mm, not when there 1.6mm as it happened

ok, so Villeneuve did his "if stops raining" straight way in the last stint because the AI thought it would be the best option. The AI can't recognise it's a dry tyre in that option and therefore it should wait more laps.

But he didn't wait 5 laps the second time... maybe this is exception: the first time rains stop, he use advanced 2. Second time.. it decided by itself... however I think this something rare... but wrong in any case...

Because it was also in the Advanced strategy (second option) and it wasn't raining in the last pit.

In advanced 2 ,i put after 20 laps , not ZERO....


Then you have to put the dry tyre in the main strategy, or be lucky enough to use the second AS option.

I would be lucky to use hidden option... and put S at ZERO Mm instead of M

Didn't Villeneuve pitted for fuel in last stint?

No, not for fuel.  Eve if this possibility  is interesting but should  be avoided by last update of strategy: he has strategy only on I, so further stint should be like the last

Thanks! It really helped me out

Gustavo, please check this race and tell me what you think.
Rains stopped 11 minutes before the race.
Race started with 0.3mm of water.

Another situation not clear:

https://igpmanager.com/app/d=research

It was raining, but rains stopped before qualify.
Rossi has strategy with S.
I over 0mm
S after 0 lap

In grid there was 0.1mm of water. Please explain why he made qualify with S but in grid he had I before owner entried in live.

It looks that in this way, advanced 2 work! Is it possible???or ther be another reason?

Or do advanced 2 work only with 0 laps if it is not raining but there is water???

I am very confused  about working of advanced 2 ...

After a double check, we think that there were some bugs in the last race linked. Too much mistakes!
