    John, you're missing two Street cars, McLaren #07 and Ultima #02.
    Also:
    The double space in Soul Racing #22 has been fixed (F-Retro Gen 3 Turbo).
    Group A BMWs, #45 and #46, have changed from Weißbier/Petrocelli Racing to WeiBbier/Petrocelli Racing as happened in the Procars.
    Group C Sauber Mercedes #53 is now Team AEG/SPORT-TECHNIK #53.
    In the P1s you still have the 'V8' in Chevy #113 and the Motikov Honda #15 is a duplicate #13.

    Otherwise a good job! There were some nasty changes in this last update.

    Incredible, Romeo--you must have all these livery names tattoed on your brain by now. Impressive.

    Also, thanks for proofreading my livery file; out of around 1,900 entries, I got 99.6% correct. Woot!

    Also, I updated the file in my previous post to include your improvements ... Ha! Like you guys need anything from me!

    Thanks, but I have been messing with quite a few of them, so I prefer to wait for the complete extraction when available. I have adjusted my own tool for the problems I have spotted.

    is Nigel Mansel haunted in championship mode? lol!

    So I've run two championship season so far, using custom AI and liveries from Race dept, both of them featuring Nigel Mansel. In single race, the Mansel AI runs as expected, near the front. But in championship mode it's like he's hard-coded to suck! haaaard. like 6 seconds per lap slower. He's the only AI it happens to, it's hilarious and sad.

    Anyone else experience this?

    hello, short question (sorry if it may seem stupid). If I want to start a championship of 20 cars in a class that includes 24 cars, how can I be sure that I will have 10 teams of 2 cars and not 8 teams of 2 cars and 4 individual cars? Is there a way to select the 20 cars I want? thank you

    In the custom AI file, only include the 20 cars you want.

    As sampopel said - you need to edit the custom AI file to only include the drivers you want. I find it useful to 'comment out' any drivers I don't want instead of deleting them or making copies of the file.

    Just add "<!--" before the driver(s) you don't want/need, and "-->" after. Anything between those tags is ignored.

    For example, this would remove Rubens from the grid:
    Code:
    <!--
        <driver livery_name="Full Time Sports - R.Barrichello #111">
            <name>Rubens Barrichello</name>
            <country>BRA</country>
        </driver>
    -->

    I think this system to create custom grid is not very user friendly. Even if my custom grid generally works, it seems bugged even if I don't know why. In my grid I've got few custom skin too and 1) if I use as player car a stock livery, the grid is generated in the right way (eg. 10 differents livery for a 10-cars class, the one I wish), but 2) if I take one of my custom livery, the AI use it too (so I have two cars in the grid with the same livery, my car and one played by AI).

    My question is: why do not develop something simple as Project Cars' Custom Grid Tool? It works greately, it is easy to use, without problems if liveries names are changed through game updates. My two cents.

    I think the intention is to deliver a UI at some point (have read it somewhere).

    But bear in mind that pCars2 Custom Grid Tool had nothing for setting the characteristics of each driver. It only allowed picking a set of cars/livery. What Reiza did is a lot better/goes a lot further.

    I can always make it work but I agree that sometimes there is a lot of tedious try-and-error. Usually the problem is that I have a spreadsheet with the liveries made at some point, but the livery names are always changing in each update.

    99% of this, ahem, tedious issue should be in the rearview mirror by V1.4, excepting future DLC.

    Here's a link to the most current V1.4 liveries, FWIW.

    Hey - I'm curious about which series/year and which custom AI file you are finding this Mansell issue with, as it sounds quite odd. Is it one of my files from Race Department by any chance?

    The livery_name is gone in beta, is this a general error?
    does this mean custom AI also doesn't work?
    EDIT: custom AI still seems to work

    Beta

    The livery name in the Ui is temporarily turned off. This will not affect your custom Ai files..

    The way I do it, (and you can with some basic file and powershell knowledge)

    Make a .csv file (Multiple circuits not supported)
    1-csv.JPG

    Make sure you save it as UTF-8 to keep all ascii codes alive
    2-saveas.JPG

    download my ps1 script and rename it from .txt to .ps1
    Run the powershell script
    and select the previous made .csv
    3-ps-select.JPG

    Wait until the listbox opens (It doesn't always open ontop)
    And select one of the Custom AI file names
    !!!!! EXISTING .xml files in the temp directory will be DELETED if the same name is chosen
    4-choosename.JPG

    The Custom AI file will be saved in a \temp\ subfolder in the same folder as the loaded .csv
    (!!!!!! if you want to keep the file move or rename it)
    5-file in dir.JPG
    Copy the file to the \common\Automobilista\UserData\CustomAIDrivers folder and you are ready to go

    Any knowledge about the ETA of a repair, I have some trouble with override liveries in beta, and this lack of info doesn't make it easier to fix
