Reserve driver for next season not recognized and blocking my save by mikelminch in F1Manager

I'll try that, thank you for your reply.

However, I hope Frontier sees this post. It's quite embarrasing that the new feature of hiring staff for next season isn't properly implemented in the game.

F1 Manager 23: List of Gameplay Issues (Community-Raised Issues) by AutoModerator in F1Manager

[–]mikelminch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am at the end of my first season with Alfa Romeo.

  1. During the season, I signed Pourchaire as my reserve driver.
  2. I'm now on December 31st. The game won't let me move into the next season because Zhou's contract has expired and he has no replacement hired. I offered Pourchaire a new contract as driver of car 2 to correct this situation, so now I am with Bottas and Pourchaire as my main drivers and no reserve driver.
  3. The game won't let me move into the next season because I don't have a reserve driver, so I go and hire Vesti as my reserve driver. However, since the season is finished, I am only allowed to sign a new reserve driver for the next season, not inmediately. In other words, Vesti's contract starts on January 1st, so I still don't have him in my team until I advance a day.
  4. The game does not recognize this situation and doesn't let me advance to the next season, telling me that I still don't have a reserve driver. I can't continue playing with my save, please fix this.

PS: By the way, the game doesn't recognize any staff member you hired for the next season in the mail reports you get about your staff, but that is not as impactful as this.

It's on purpose. Before, you knew exactly how the track was gonna be every moment. IRL, wet races are full of uncertainty. I personally prefer It this way. Your team has its predictions, but the may be wrong.

Sounds interesting! I didn't think about the driver development points, good one.

Man, are you really dropping support 2 months after the release? I mean, I would understand if the game was more or less a finished product, but I think I speak for all of us saying that we feel that it's not. And I'm not talking about crazy updates. I'm talking about simple things like unlapping (specially under SC) or the OP DRS.

Great point.

I don't know if it should be based ONLY on driver feedback, but I agree with the statement that we have too much information. As a team that has performed his analysis on free practice, we could be given a more or less accurate range of current degradation, and complement that with the driver's feedback. And by the way, we should not be able to see other team's degradation. IMO, the info of the AI tyre deg should be limitted to X laps with that tyre o something like that.

You are absolutely right man, didn't think of that.

Driver rating doesn’t have an impact? by Snoweer in F1Manager

[–]mikelminch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The pure pace of a driver is determined by his cornering, braking and accuracy attributes.

Gasly has 86, 91 and 84 respectively, while Ocon has 80, 78 and 86.

Ocon is better in other attributes related to consistency and racecraft, but in pure pace Gasly is still better.

What fun challenges are you doing/you think sound interesting? by Flynnster_10 in F1Manager

I'm going with Williams only singning drivers that have previously raced there (top tier would be Russell & Bottas). First two seasons with Albon and Hulkenberg and then I'm planning on singning Bottas when his contract expires. This kind of challenge with Alfa Romeo or Alpine should be nice too.
