Database Reduced Tyre Wear 1.3

[Gabbynaru]

Just a heads up, guys. Since I have a feeling I won't be getting my controller any time soon, I think I should go back to testing with my keyboard. Thing is, keyboard understeers too much for my liking, that's why I stopped testing with it, but, desperate times call for desperate measures. So, here's a quick update. I think the databases for Career mode work for GP mode as well. At least, my test with the 25% database in Australia was rather successful. While I doubt all tracks work, mostly because tyre wear is lower in GP mode than career mode due to the fact that in GP mode you have all the R&D updates, I think it won't be that hard to make a 25% database for GP mode for now. So, thoughts?

I have a problem with your mode.
Australia 100% hard tires hold 9.8 laps and soft 4.4 laps
You too?

It might work OK, but the database was replaced by Patch 2.

So even though the database in this mod may work, by using it you don't know what other changes were made to the database by the patch. So you would lose those changes, whatever they are

For all we know ..... they just fixed a spelling mistake

Edit - It looks like pit speed at Silverstone :-

Patch 1

<pit_speed_limit_race>27.778</pit_speed_limit_race>
    <pitstop_dry_race_time_cost>14.217</pitstop_dry_race_time_cost>
    <pitstop_wet_race_time_cost>15.189</pitstop_wet_race_time_cost>

Patch 2

  <pit_speed_limit_race>16.667</pit_speed_limit_race>
    <pitstop_dry_race_time_cost>12.633</pitstop_dry_race_time_cost>
    <pitstop_wet_race_time_cost>13.38</pitstop_wet_race_time_cost>

Was referring to patch 1 but the second patch came out a day after(obviously ) I posted that info.

I'll give you about 17 hours ..... but not a full day

 

[nicolas1423]

the screen that says how long the tires will hold bug
For example in Malaysia he told me that the tires will hold one lap

I have a problem with your mode,in carrer mode.
Australia 25% hard tires hold 8 laps and soft 4 laps
You too? The different is only more pit-stop....I used Lotus.
We have a solution? Thanks and sorry for my bad english

Great idea!!
But where do I put the file to install it???

 

[Graham Laing]

It a database, it goes in the database folder.

Keep a backup copy of your original. This will stop you from joining an online game.

YourSteamInstallDrive:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\f12013\database

what is with 50% career mode ?

 

[Gabbynaru]

So, another patch is out... man, this is gonna be a pain. Oh well... Hope CM doesn't plan to release a new patch every other day, cause my patience is low ) So, yeah, you guys want 50% Career mode mod? Well, so do I! So, hang in there! I'm gonna start making it, putting the plans for the GP mode on hold for now. Sorry to whoever is still waiting for GP mode mod...

 

[Graham Laing]

This database in this mod was not effected by Patch 3

See the touched files at the bottom of my post here :-

Just a heads up here, 50% career database incoming. Testing done up until Montreal so far, so, I'd say, hopefully I will upload it here by tomorrow.

Gabbynaru updated Reduced Tyre Wear with a new update entry:

50% Database, Career Mode Only added.

So, as promised, this is the 50% race length database update. Strangely, not much testing was requires, since most of the settings from the 100% database were working just fine in the 50% database. I am currently doubting the values of some tracks (Bahrain, Spain and Germany on my mind right now), so I would like your feedback on those, but, the database is fully playable (at least on my side), so, don't worry about that and enjoy racing!

Hi, why is there only three id's in the track_tyre_wear_level (ID 1,2,3) but in my normal database they are nine id's. could u explain to me what does the ID do, thanks

NINE IDs?! I never heard of that... Are you sure we are talking about the same game here? Can you post a screenshot or something?

As for your explanation, the id itself is only used for the track_model tab, where you can set the tyre_wear_level for each track. The wear_level in the track_tyre_wear_level is the value tracks use to wear the tyres at a certain rate. Decrease those and you will have longer lasting tyres, but you have to set new values in the track_model tab, so, the process is a pain to make. But the results of that process is this mod here.

When i copy and paste the database into my folder, will this only change ur changes ur made or everything? I have the Turbo AI mod and that makes the AI way faster for me and if this would be override, thats crap than .

Edit: When i copy & paste ur database, the "ai_engine_power_per_tier" change in default settings (like u have). So can u tell me what u changed that i can write in manually in my database?

Great mod,

The tyre wear was killing the gameplay..

I restarted my carreer with this mod. In Austratlia the wear was definately reduced, but then i had a wet race in Maleisiia and my wet tyres were worn at lap 5 with a scedualed pitstop at lap 7.

So i does't work with wet tyres??

Why doesn't it work with normal grand prix mode?

Hey Gabby,

I want to increase the tyre wear level in 25% GP - Mode to 2 pit stops every race at every track. Your thought to increase the track tyre wear level does not work. In Track model, for a better control, i have switch the tyre wear level at all tracks to 3 to check my changes easier. After testing 3 circuits (Malaysia, Brazil, USA) nothing has changed. Do you have another idea how to change the tyre wear ? Do i change the front and rear tyre wear level in f1teams in the database?

To check it, i have attached screenshots from my values.
