Decimal fuel values and simulator upgrades
By Jack Basford
Last updated: Thu, 07 Aug 2014 17:46
Now when there is less than 10 litres of fuel in the car a decimal value will display instead of a whole number. This has been implemented to prevent confusion and guesswork over how much fuel is in the car on the final lap of a stint.
I'm moving to another country tomorrow, and it will take a couple of weeks to settle in. While I move work is ongoing to fully and finally address issues with lag in the simulator, which will make the system more scalable as a whole.
This project to improve the scalability of the service is probably one of the most important we have ever had. It will be important to the quality of the service and quantity of people that we can reach that we make this upgrade. We have set aside 3 months in total for the project, but this does not mean that we won't be releasing other updates at the same time. We will be releasing updates alongside this project to improve the web game aspects of iGP Manager.
We'd like your suggestions...
What updates would you like to see to the web game aspects of iGP Manager. This is any area of igpmanager.com which is not the race viewers. Our staff that develop the race viewers will be occupied with the simulator update. In the meantime, I will be free to make upgrades to the web game. What would you like me to work on? Mobile support for setting up cars on the go? Interface improvements? More items beyond level 10? Let us know in the comments below.

I would like to see some Changes in Track Information page, There are few things are missing, Like Pit time and Avg. Speed, for sure if not exact, you can give a fair idea about those numbers for each tracks as Its very useful information specially now because of no warm up laps required as Tires are already in optimal temp and Also the Track map is very basic sketch, I would love to see more detailed Track maps with DRS Zones and sectors Marks, Just to enrich the experience of the Users Thanks
I like the idea of no refueling during a race, would shake up the tire strategies. That and making it mandatory that we have to use at least two (but more if you want) different tire compounds during the race.
Also something that would be nice is to be able to pre-set different push levels in our pre-race strategy. Probably the easiest/quickest way to implement would be on a per-stint basis.
Even if we could add push control to the mobile viewer would be amazing :) It's good to see new things
Obviously, my biggest wishlist item is the car design overhaul. Beyond that, revising the website to be more mobile-friendly would be nice - trying to click the correct interface tab subitem is a challenge on my phone even at high zoom levels.
I'd like to see more tracks in the game, F1 and non-F1. And also it would be awesome to add the possibility as a league host to pick in each season number of races and the tracks where to race on, or simply generate a calendar with random tracks.
Yes, I'm kinda dreaming...
items beyond level 10.
(Research) Turbo = extra power. side affect more weight.
(Research) Hybrid Engine = Less fuel. side affect more weight. (Battery's)
(Research) Tyre warmer adjustments = cold tyres can be fitted at pit stops.
(Facility) Manufacture own engine.
Tweaks.
No refuelling. lower amount of engines to use in a season.
(Technical Director) says... Fuel load & strategy should change depending on what tyres selected.
update tracks, engines, fuel & tyres.
ill like to be surprise in the race by a crash or safety car deployed and the classification will be like the real f1 graphics on tv and add the new tracks on the calender of the season and have more than 200 support staff and red flags and have a 3rd drivers for a heavy crash and the driver talk with his manager giving a report like (they are a lot off debries on the track, the athor driver didn't give him enough space...) penalties ...
you guys have been busy, more updates incoming.
hope your move goes well too ;)
Thanks. Some suggestions, please :{)>
- make it easier when on mobile to change designer numbers on design page
- show historic weather details (temp and wet/dry laps) on race records. Also include on previous setups when loading
- Add testing race to start of seasons with no points
- Have official world championship leagues?
Congratulations and good luck with the relocation, Jack. Where are ya headed?
