I'm not sure if I had this problem before (and hadn't noticed), but since a couple of nights ago (since that big RC / update, maybe) every race I've had where I've actually made it to the penultimate lap, I've been getting DQed and so have all the AI. On the penultimate lap (once that was the 11th lap, once that was the 15th - in different races), a notice comes up on the screen "saying mandatory pit stop" for this lap. i've both ignored the notice and also pitted - in all cases I was DQed (and so were all the other AI drivers). These were races where I had set it up with a mandatory pit stop in the race (but I had already done that pitstop, and I had seen AI pitting too). Is this a known bug? Right now, it's screwing up all my races
Got the same Problem. Did you used Mods like Thunderflash's Cars? When I activate mandatory PIt but did Tyrechange on 0 i can finish a Race. But 60-70% of the AI will get DQ even when they have pit. So I deactivate Mandatory PIt and push Tyre Fatigue to 4x which helps that everyone need to pit without DQ. Hope Reiza will look into it.
No, I wasn’t using mods when this happens. Thanks for the tip about turning off mandatory pit stop and increasing tyre wear. Most of the races I set up are 11 to 15 laps long. Would 4x tyre fatigue imply one pit stop in a race of that length? (I’m not familiar with tyre wear much yet)
Depend on what Tyres are possible for the Car. Soft Tyres will decrease it much faster then Hard Tyres. Also Fuel Usage can set to 4x. But dont test it if AI will just put more Fuel in Car for a Race.
i think i have the same problem or maybe i dont understand how mandatory pitstops work...3 races in stock car championship and all DQ, although I do the pit stops inside time window. When Crewchief calls that the pit window its opened, I press the pitstop button and enter the box, but it's as if this does not count as a mandatory pitstop... i think if is there a way to specify what type of stop you want to make or just any pitstop worth mandatory? because when i press the pistop button the ui message pops up but dont say its mandatory...
I've only used AMS2 for 60 or 70 hours so far so it's relatively new to me. I've always wanted to have pit stops in races (for me and the AI), but it's just seeming like too much hassle now. I've tried it with tyre wear on x3 and I quickly notice my tyres are seriously worn, but the AI don't seem to pit while I have to. And -honestly- I'd rather not have tyre wear like that. Can anyone advise? How can I set up 20-minute(ish) races where I (and the AI) have to make one (or two) pit stop(s). (and if it can be without tyre wear, that'd be great). Perhaps I just have to forget pit stops until this "mandatory pit stop" bug is repaired
