    Hi All,

    I drive long races with random weather, so I pre-defined multiple strategies for pit boxing. Like: change tires to wet, slick, fuel, etc.
    When Im driving, I have to press the ICM menu button, I have to go to the second page, select a pre-defined strategy, and exit. In VR, this is a little complicated (I use buttons on the wheel and meantime I have to steering :) ). Is there any way, to bring up the defined strategies with one button, and select?
    Or is there any quicker way?

    The only thing I think should work is the way into my box. Because the speed limit, and my box is the end of the box lane, I have time to select the strategy I want. But in this case, the game do not care what I selected, use that strategy which was the default in the begining of the race. Maybe bug? Or this is somekind of realism, that my crew have no time to adapt to the change when Im almost in my box?

    Thanks

    I agree, choosing a preset in VR is undoable for me with my noob skills.
    What would already be a step forward, is being able to select a predefined strategy as 'default' before getting into the car on the grid. Then it's set as the active one when asking for a pit.

    As for your last issues, do you ask for a pit beforehand? There's a separate button available for that. I assume (not tested) the strategy selected in ICM menu before asking the pit, will be the one chosen by the crew once you arrive.

    You can use Crew Chief to alter pit options by voice control

    I tried both, ask pit request and change the strategy, and first change it and requesting the pit.

    I’ve never been able to figure out how to make this work. Do you have any tutorials, or care to share your button mapping in AMS2 and Crew Chief?

    You can choose a pit strategy right before the race when standing in the grid. I always reload the setup and make sure that the right pit strategy is activated.

    @Norbert: I f you are as German as your name, you can take a look here:
    Malzbierbude - Dein freundlicher pCARS-Server - Aw: PC2 Pitstop-Tutorial - Forum - Malzbierbude
    It´s been a while when I put together a pit strategy tutorial for PC2. In AMS2 it is pretty much the same, so you might find some helpful hints in there.
