The app is really unstable, it doesn't multitask properly so if you aren't manually saving your game to iCloud from the main menu after any event theres a high chance all your progress will disappear.
I looked at this game in the App Store (UK) to see if it was reduced here, but it's not. But it does have 303 reviews (for this version, 563 for all versions) with an average of 4.5 stars, that's a lot for the UK App Store! Once I have space on my iPad or iPhone I will be buying this!
Great game and looks good with tiltshift tracks. And is was on sale \o/. Still i do miss the option to upgrade your cars,drivers and staff. The upgrading that is in the game now is to general and cannot be controller by the player. Now i'm still in the first stage, winning and losing races, so it might be that later on there are more indept options like you get with Grand prix story. I'm not comparing the two just use it as a reference.
This will sometimes pop up or can be seen in the space where the pitcrew talks to the driver during qualifying. Same happens when the pacecar gets out drivers will ask if they should join in line or make a pitstop. I had the the suggestion pop up once during qualifying just the same only with no option to choose yes or no. But iy usually appearse in the box with pitcrew comments
Okay, I hate to be that guy, but can anybody explain this damn game to me? I am completely lost. Doing the tutorial, and I don't understand. I set the drivers to do one lap, and when they completed it, they kept going. A button pops up that says "cancel lap" for both, and seeing as how I only wanted then to do one lap to see the results of my first attempt at their car setups, I hit the button. They drive slowly for the rest of the lap, and suddenly the qualifier ends and I'm asked if I want to proceed. What the hell? Nothing about that clicked for me. I'm supposed to have like 12 minutes to figure things out, so why'd it end all of a sudden? Why in the world did the drivers continue to do another lap when I specifically set it to one? What does the cancel lap button do? When do the drivers ACTUALLY return to the pot on their owns so I can analyze their lap times with their setup? Super frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Apparently I'm the only asshole on the Internet who didn't immediately understand this game. Edit: Also, what's up with the set up and the data? When I go to setup again after a lap, does everything automatically go back to default? I feel like the drivers whine I had given certain tires were being shown using different ones in the data section for the lap they had just completed? Again, super confused. I seriously don't understand how this game works. I finished the qualifying, having finished top 5 in both of my laps, it ended in the middle of my third, and somehow I ended up in 7th when it was all over? :/ Really want to like this game and not feel like I just wasted $5, but having trouble with that at the moment. An ACTUAL tutorial that took the time to explain everything clearly and precisely feels needed. I usually pick up on management games pretty quickly, but this is completely flying over my head. The tips are nice, but aren't really worth a damn when it comes time to actually race (which I assume is the core of this game). Not seeing any help on the site, either.
When you send out from boxes the car you make one lap to start the qualification, the next lap is the good lap, if the lap isn't good you can cancel it and come back to boxes for make different configuration. After the lap you need another one for come back to boxes.
As far as the Qualifying goes, when you set one lap, that means your drivers will do one "flying" or fast lap. The fast lap is always the second lap because the first lap you are seeing is their out lap to warm up the car and cross the start finish line at speed, so in fact, a one lap run is three laps, the out lap, the flying lap, and the in lap. You will only see the cancel lap button on the flying lap as the out and in laps are like a warm up and a cool down. As for settings of the car, as far as I know they only change tyre settings if the weather is different at race start compared with qualifying. So if you qualified on soft tyres, but then the race is wet, I think it puts wet tyres on automatically. Hope that helps..
The actual help you might get from watching F1 races. I'll try to explain anyway : During the qualifications you can send your drivers for one, two or three qualifying laps. Before you send them you pick one setup. You'd better pick the one that was recommended, it appeared in a screen right before you get to the qualifications screen. When you send a driver for qualifying laps they will do an additional out-lap and and an additional in-lap: so if you chose to do 2 laps for instance the driver will actually do 4 laps (= 1 out-lap + the 2 qualifying laps + 1 in-lap). While the driver is doing a qualifying lap, you have the option to cancel it. If you choose to do that, the driver will instead of doing the qualifying lap have to do the out-lap before going back to the pit. You'll usually cancel a qualifying lap in those situation: - you have sent the other driver with the same setup and then realized the setup is bad so you want to change the setup ASAP, - the weather has changed between the moment the driver was sent off and the moment the qualifying lap is starting. The ranking is based on the best time you have had in those qualifying laps. If the qualifications are over (timer is down to zero), the drivers that are still doing their qualification lap can finish the one lap that they started before the end. Therefore, some pilots from other teams might actually get better qualification times than yours after the end of the timer. As for the setup, I cannot remember but it usually does not reset or maybe it does to the previous setup you had in a qualifying lap if you cancel the qualifying lap? At least between the qualifications and the actual race, the setup for your drivers will be the last one that you used (and not necessarily the best one). Therefore you might want to change them on the race screen shown before the race, you can tap the setup which will allow you to edit it for your drivers. Also I think the tyres is changed to rain if the race track is wet but that should be it. I hope this cleared out things for you.
I can not get past this "shutdown due to finances" message. Tapping 'Continue' just refreshes to the same screen.
On ipad2 after 2-3 seasons my game has the loooongest load times between decisions. Like, a full 3-4 minutes between screens. Even when you're releasing drivers, and hiring new ones, getting engineers and it adds up. I've tried reinstalls but now it crashes on the loading screen and reboots 90% of the time. It's sad, because I was loving this game.
Exactly the same problem here, on iPad Air. Loading times got longer and longer. I was 2 races away from winning the final league, and now the game won't load at all. It just exits after displaying the title screen.
iPhone 6 and also crashes on load. I was installing it on a new device and wanted to load my save via iCloud. It then crashes immediately after I pressed the icloud button. reinstall and reboot doesnt help bad:-/ Edit: The game also is not anymore in the appstore here in germany. Whats going on?
Ipad Air, exact same problem (except Canadian). Must be an appstore issue. I've seen games disappear before, usually they pop back up in a few days. Wait it out
Oh man ... it shows there is an update but if I try to update it says, the App does not exist anymore in the Appstore ... what is going on there? (German App Store)
