2016 Driver Network Pre-Season Changes

[Bealdor]

Good morning mr tudor,

as you can read from people posting in this thread it is NOT possible to turn on or off assits on PC. The setting is fixed to real which means there's only TC for the Toyota.
Now you confirm that it is possible to change the assists on PC for you.

You sure have tested it on your side, can you please explain how you have done this? It is NOT possible here.
Assuming you are right and able to change the assits on your side it seems we now have the situation that some can change it and some not (on the same platform).

That would be very unfair, don't you think so? Can you please clear this up?

How is your LOCAL "allowed assists" setting configured? "None", "Real" or "All"?

Hello,

I can confirm what the others are saying, even on "All assists" selected in the local game's settings (to answer Bealdor's question) we are only able to have TC.
Then if we are all on an equal footing, I don't mind using real assists, but as Mezzanine said if some people can have ABS (which makes you gain a bunch of time) or SBS then it's pretty unfair.

How is your LOCAL "allowed assists" setting configured? "None", "Real" or "All"?

I know about the dependancy regarding the local and serversetting, so I made sure I've tested all of them.
It does not work.

Have you tested it? Is it possible for you?

I would also like to know how the assist settings gonna be in the future for NCS and LGCS (consoles and pc). Will they be 'real' again like last Round (PS4), or all assists allowed as it was announced.

Bealdor, Assists worked fine on the PC during the first round. Users may not have been aware but they did. I had assists set to on/allowed in the settings an individually turned off/on certain assists also in the settings menu.

I think we are running into a confusion with changing on track and off. In the menu's, assists worked and translated to the track. Changing them on track (with button mapping) did not work. At the start of the weekend we were advised my Joe/Andy to map a button for assists and make the change on track. This did not work (at least for me, was notified by a message on screen) I had to change them in the menus for them to stick.

Also, to add to the confusion, the HUD/Motec did not show the correct assists; only one assists was visible on the HUD (I believe TC) even if you had ABS, STB, and TC enabled it did not show correct. I used ABS for a few runs, checked HUD/Motec and it showed only TC. I am 100% positive I had ABS enabled as I was never locking up. I did heavy braking tests to confirm.

Know we are getting conflicting reports but I think the confusion is with on and off track changes and the HUD indicating wrong assists.

First of all thanks beetes_juice

At the beginning I also had this impression that ABS was enabled even though it was not shown by the HUD, but I made some tests and I'm now 100% sure ABS was not on.

Hmmm I could not lock up for the death of me.

Anyway, needs to be ironed out for the next round or posted so everyone is aware of the issue.

We will look into this further.
