Hello,

i just noticed a few more things:

1.) When starting a new session of Formula XD and using it's screenshot function, screenshots done in previous sessions get overridden.

2.) On the Hamburgring i had one occasion in which a rouge safety car missed the leader which was then able to build up an considerable lead. I had made a screenshot but pls. refer to 1.) for it's whereabouts.

3.) Not sure if this is a bug or a feature: Also on the Hamburgring (maybe on other tracks to?) i noticed that you can pit during a safety car session, when all cars are in safety car formation, without loosing any time or postitions at all when paying the maximum amount on the pit crew.

4.) Not sure if this is a bug or a feature: The next year's car performance data is currently at max or close to at all categories, yet when starting a new season everything is around 50% on this year's car (using the second best designer). Also performance for the next car is also nearly maxed out at the start of the season.

5.) Regarding the wrong race results i had previously mentioned: I'm relativly sure that the race was over and faded out when my driver was in 8th place but was listed 12 in the results screen without a mention of scoring points (you know in the interview or the hooray you are special notification at the buttom of the screen). So far however, i could not replicate this bug and i can't rule out that i ultimatly saw things that never happened.

Thanks man! The most damaging of these bugs (the end-of-champ car stats thing) was introduced in one of the updates, I mistakenly commented out a crucial bit of code. That will be fixed in 1.0.6. Also, I figured out why screenshots are being overwritten and I'm fixing that right now. The safety car issues, I'm mitigating, with some rebalancing of safety car speed. Please let me know if this remains a problem.

1.0.6 should be live in an hour or so.

Hello again,

I haven't been able to replicate the 'wrong finishing positions' thing, but I have gone and changed the code a bit to make the finish results much more reliable.

Thanks again!

I was able to finally replicate the wrong position bug using the newest version (1.08)! On the Hockenhamring i was on 6th position just behind the 5th placed driver (Hakkinen) when crossing the finish line. Just before the racescreen faded away me and the driver behind me, who i just overtook in the last corner, both gained a position with Hakkinen now in 7th. Maybe he retired just after the race finished, or because all three were within a split second?

I also noticed three other bugs:

1.) When you give an order to your second driver before the race starts, you can't switch him back to normal until the race starts.

2.) It kinda feels like when setting the dev focus on the next years car that development on the current is also elevated.

3.) I had a few instances where i got no sponsor bonus even though i should have. The screenshot below shows the standings after the first race (double points) with me finishing 4 and 7 but not getting the bonus for finishing the race 6th or better.

OK, all noted! I don't think 2) is a bug but I'll have a look anyway.

Hi, I have done some investigation. The sponsor thing was a bug, now fixed in 1.0.9. The car development thing is simply because your current engine supplier has a high Research stat - they're contributing toward your car's development with new engine parts. About the finishing positions thing - while I have no idea what can be causing it, I have now gone to near-extremes to prevent from happening (cars when crossing the finish line enter Lap 99,999 minus two times the number of cars that already finished - it'd really take some doing to interpret that wrongly).

Build 1.0.9 is now live.
