If you look in your purchases, I can see that the App has now purchases for in game money! I never saw this before ... and yep, you can spend money within the game now ... (I did not played it a long time) ... as I purchased it, one huge reason was: No in App purchases ... Well, in my opinion a bad way ...
Had no problems downloading it for the first time today after reading this thread. Does indeed now say that is offers IAP, but a quick look at the title screen doesn't show anything. I will play it for the first time on the train commute home tonight. But it looks like the Dev is listening. The updates for October have been pretty good according to the release notes on the App Store, and address a lot of the issues raised here:
Ok, so got to play it for the first time today now. Found out after the first race what the IAP is. You can buy an "investment" in your team of up to 40,000,000 using IAP, so basically a shortcut cheat to be able to upgrade everything faster. It doesn't appear to have changed the balance of the game at all as far as I can tell, but I have only played one race. I scored a 1-2 finish in the British Series opener after qualifying 6-7, solely based on lucky pit stop timing due to changing weather conditions. I basically got a free pit stop as the track dried up at exactly the right time for me to take an extra set of wets for a few laps while the rest of the pack stopped for dry tires. It is this element to the game that will give it that longevity that these sorts of games require. I have one nasty display bug to report, however, see the attached screen shots. The "twitter" feed and email messages are distorted artifacts only, I can't read the text :-/ Hopefully this can be fixed? Anyone else having this issue on the latest version of the game?
Good developer! Already submitted fix for the graphics glitch that effects latest generation devices (iPhone 6/6+ & iPad Air 2).
I seen the iap a while ago in game.. Since v1.0.2 I think it's been there as I had it come up after clicking/touching in screen
There's still problems with game involving positions during game and the track section reports during qualifying. In game, u go into pits... It reports your position dropping, but when u come out the pits, your position goes back up. One time I went into pits in 1st place and came out in 2nd... But no cars had gone past me. When qualifying, I could be any position from 2nd downwards... I get all purple section times.. But I remain in the same position I'm in. Surely if I get 3 purples (which shows that they are all the sessions best times for each section)... Then I should be in 1st place. Also I fired an engineer and hired a better one and noticed my Bhp on car dropped by 100!! Also my reliability dropped from good to low and tyre wear went from low to high! ... Why would this happen if I fire a engineer n replace with a better one? Also I notice a problem with lap count... For example, Sometimes I cross line and it say I'm on lap 21/21.. I do a full lap to finish and I still have to do another lap! So in effect the race is like a 22 lap race although states it's 21 laps. Love the game though Ohh and Christian.. You stated a while ago in reply to me that you will add red cars as a selectable team colour. How about some extra fan messages, as ones in game are repetitive. Maybe some fan dilemma or engineer/driver dilemma too
So I love this game. I "beat it" by finishing first in the final league. I see the dev has been making updates to the game. Any chance for additional leagues to compete in?
Maldona-DOH Does anyone know how to get the Maldona-DOH achievement? I finally won the Grand Prix and this is the only achievement I have yet to get. I have definitely had to pit because of mechanical failure (or overheating? whatever) but I have never crashed out. Ideas? Thanks, friends! Also, fantastic game. I played it to death for a week or two, took a break, and now came back to finish it. Awesome design and good balance of management with hands-on racing. I enjoyed this very much I would also welcome another Cup added in additional updates. Does anyone have any insight into this?
The lap is split into 3 sectors around the track. White = slower than you previous best sector Green = faster than your previous best sector Purple = the fastest sector from all cars (not just your personal) so this is what you are aiming for! (This is from memory I could be wrong haha)
^COMBO BREAKER!!! I was wondering how many consecutive questions this thread could get without an answer. Sorry, rest of you. I don't know the answers.
Never did pick this up when it was released I can't even remember why, I seem to recall maybe a few small bugs or things people would like to change. But with its price reduction now and the fact it's been out a while and probably better now I couldn't resist. Should get some time to play later too.
