Just wanted to get some discussion going on what the available settings are for both games when it comes to lobbies and series formats. In particular where there is a lack of options, what thoughts are there on how to overcome them?
This probably is more relevant to FM6 as we have been using Pcars for a while now, but would be good to capture info on both and perhaps create a section in the regulations that helps potential series organisers when working out formats etc.
We might look to include a list of all options available in game too
So off the top of my head there are the following points:
Qualifying and all associated issues around this
Race restarts
Manual starts
Pit stops and strategy
Series regulations (eg limited fuel) and how to enforce them
Stewarding options
So provide your thoughts and then we can capture all the good stuff so everyone can easily access the info (save trawling through this thread for it)
To get the ball rolling, Pcars has some bugs still with regards to pit strategies actually performing as desired, so do we run series on this game with less regulations, just compulsory pit stops with no requirement to change tires or add fuel?
We seem to have established a method of combatting restarts with Pcars using the safety car.....
Without knowing too much about FM6 settings yet, Pcars seems to be the game to use if you want to do proper qualifying and avoid manual starts....top ten shootouts felt great in Pcars, especially because you could watch the other players do hot laps.
