    Hey guys,

    Anyone gotten custom grids working?

    On Spa '22 I tried a GT3 + P1 + P2 race and it filled the entire grid with P1 and P2 and only GT3 was me, dispite me setting the grid manually for the numbers.

    Even when I set just GT3 + P1 it still filled the grid with P1's and just me in the GT3.

    Are custom grids currently just utterly broken as a 'feature'?

    thanks,
    Lewis

    Does it work on other tracks for you?

    Are you using Custom Liveries with Custom AI? Please check without Custom AI files (and if that doesn't work, also remove the custom liveries for a test).

    I do have custom liveries and some AI files though I dont think I do AI for those particular classes. Ill give it a look tomorrow and get back to you.

    If it does turn out to be a liveries or AI thing I hope its fixed as I don't wanna have to revert to default liveries to use the custom grid function.

    Morning peoples!

    First test;
    Added .BAK to the GT3 and P1 AI XML files and the grid seems to work a lot better. So for example out of 29 grid I set 10 to P1 and rest GT3 but the grid is like 7 P1 and the rest GT3, so its still not working but it is working better than it was.

    Second Test;
    Added .BAK to overrides folder allowing only default liveries, this resulted in the grids working. So no custom AI and no Custom Liveries it works.

    Third Test:
    Re-enabled AI packs for GT3 and P1 and all was good.

    So it looks like the main issue is with liveries for some reason breaking this feature, which is a shame as AMS2 must have once purchased is grab some of the brilliant livery packs from Race Department to really make the game pop and up the immersion that extra step.

    Hello, I tried the custom grids with opala 1986 (liveries and IA of Reiza) and stock cars 1999 for which, I have an IA and custom liveries. On first launch it didn't work. I quit, rechecked the settings and it worked fine. If it helps....

    Thanks, so its looking like there is some bug preventing custom grids from working with any regularity. Bit hit and miss whats gonna happen.

    Is there a way to submit a bug on some big tracker as its gotten to the point that I cant say that mods or repaints are even supported in AMS2 due to it breaking other features such as being able to run multi-class grids.

    Or alternatively is there something I need to change in the XML config files to make repaints work correctly and not mess up the grid formation?
