Smart pit release

Developer blog 4:Smarter pit 'safe release'Many managers competing in populated two-car leagues will have experienced at one time or another the agony of being held in your pit box by an overly-cautious lollipop man in your pit crew. Sometimes this could cost a team significant number of places. In order to reduce this behaviour, Chris has set a maximum wait time of 1 second on the simulator, meaning it is still possible to lose places in the pits, but it should not be anywhere near as significant as in the past. We can further refine this value based on feedback if necessary.- See more at: http://igpmanager.com/news-article/72/developer-blog-4#sthash.Hq10X0pa.dpuf

Has this been put in the game yet? I've seen quite some 'prapes' happen still, and I lost 3-4 seconds today in the pits pitting the first time, and the second time almost 2. It quite litterly cost me the win of that race and lost me 10 points (1st to 3rd). 

Game hates you Yuri.... Deal with it :P

Apparently it isn't. I let Edrew know the article was a little misleading. I had a 3 second prape yesterday aswell lol. Went from 3rd to 6th in the stop.

I am sure that Jack is correct. It may be that it is not working in the way we hoped it would.

I will consult with my more technical colleagues

great, but if it was only me I wouln't have made this post XD

fair enough, have a good Christmas break iGP Staff ;)

Thanks for giving us a heads up about this. Looks like part of the update wasn't originally applied correctly. Had a look at it this morning so hopefully it's working as intended now, but if you notice any issues let me know.

Hope you have a good Christmas everyone!

Thank you Chris.

Hope your Christmas is good too

I am getting praped by cars pulling out in front of me, not by cars going past when I want to leave the box! That means the closer to the entry of the pit lane you are (the lower numbered cars from last seasons results) are being disadvantage, instead of the other way around. I got praped by the same car twice, both times that car was about 1.5sec behind me as we pulled into the pits, but his box was further up the lane, so after my stop he pulled out in front of me both times. I was virtually alongside when he slowly pulled out in front and my car had to slowdown in the pitlane. I think the system is actually WORSE and MORE UNREALISTIC now.

If the hold up time is supposed to be 1 second maximum I would like to point out this still isn't working properly. Still seeing 2-3 second prapes.

Yes, we are aware that things have not improved. Indeed, in some areas it would seem that the change has made the situation worse.

I will discuss this with my more technical colleagues
