Presskonferes med Debik - säsong 35

Presskonferes med Debik - säsong 35

Q&A, nyheter, ändringar och mycket mer!

Som ni alla vet startade vi förra säsongen med en årlig presskonferens med skaparen av spelet för att informera er alla om spelets utveckling.

Jag har mottagit många frågor under säsongen som gått så nu är den rätta tidpunkten att dela frågorna och svaren från Debik med er.

(Vänligen notera att några frågor som ni sänt har tagits bort för att de inte längre är aktuella, som t ex vadslagning på Moto1.)

Nu sätter vi igång!

1. Kommer någon form av sökning att bli möjlig i forumen?

Debik: Det är inte planerat just nu, men vi kan överväga funktionen.

2. Kan vi möjligtvis få tappen i föraregenskaper att inträffa några år senare för att göra spelet mer realistiskt?

Debik: Hmm intressant idé. Det skulle få en stor påverkan på spelet. Kanske kan vi göra det för förare som skapas i framtiden. Hur som helst kan vi diskutera för- och nackdelar med förslaget. Det måste bli tydligt specificerat hur vi ändrar det. För alla nu aktiva eller för framtida förare? Det kan ev orsaka för många förare i de högsta serierna och den kan också förändra spelets dynamik. Jag vet inte om det är till det bättre eller sämre. Låt oss diskutera det, jag lyssnar.

3. Varför är uppehållet mellan två extra träningar 2 timmar långt?

Debik: Det är en funktion man betalar för och det påverkar förarens prestationer. Om vi skulle tillåta det utan uppehåll skulle det ge licens-managers en fördel. 2 timmars fördröjning kanske också kan ses som en fördel för de betalande, men det kan lätt kompenseras av de som inte betalar genom att logga in strax efter träningens slut. Jag tycker två timmars fördröjning gör det balanserat.

4. Varför finns det inget i F1 Uppdateringar?

Debik: Jag tycker inte det varit några viktiga ändringar i F1 som kräver den typen av imformation. Vi har spridit information genom Kommissionären. Men jag ska försöka bli bättre på detta.

5. Kan du berätta mer om hur bilens tillförlitlighet samspelar med mekanisk aggresivitet? OM jag till exempel har en bil med 970 och jag kör med 60 MA. Indy Car-bilar har 960 men när man sätter MA till 35 händer mekaniska fel ganska ofta. Så hur ska vi tänka kring tillförlitligheten?

Debik: Sambandet mellan tillfärlitlighet (bilens kvalitet), förarens mekaniska skicklighet (förbättrar förståelsen för bildelarna), luft temperaturen (hög temp ger högre risk för överhettning), bansektionens längd (längre = högre risk) mekanisk aggresivitet och tekniska fel är en sannolikhetssak.
Utifrån de här parametrarna beräknas sannolikheten för tekniskt fel. Även den lägsta aggressiviteten och den högsta tillförlitligheten gen en låg en viss (låg) sannolikhet för fel. Chassi och motor beräknas separat.


6. Next year's F1 calendar could have 22 races with Vietnam and the Netherlands added to the current 21 and Germany looking likely to drop off. Will the calendar for the next F1 MRC season be changed as well?

Debik: Yes! Not later than before start of next real F1 season we will change calendar. That will of course result in modification to rating gained in one race to have same ratings in full season with more races in it.

7. Can we maybe change the Nations Car? It's starting to be a bit of an older design, and maybe designers could create a "MRC" car for what's MRC's most own series. I think it could be open to ideas from people, so we make a truly beautiful car. If I were to suggest I'd say a CART Reynard 98I...

Debik: Sounds like a good idea for the future. Not sure about the car you have suggested though. Maybe something which looks like car from current modern era racing.

8. Are there any plans for more F2 series? There is currently a huge ratings gap between F3 and higher series that could be filled.

Debik: I`d like to follow path from real world in F3 - F2 - F1 relationships... There is also super formula and Formula E in this rating category... Ideas to add real life series is what we are more opened to do.

9. I'd love to be able to see my driver's track history from the race strategy page. Similarly to how it is shown on the Previous Races tab. Could that be added to bottom of Race Strategy page perhaps?

Debik: Problem with this is that due to database design and the focus on performance we cannot show races from different seasons on the same page so easily. Altough I am thinking of filter on races page based on track or something like that.

10. I think the sponsor system could be improved. Drivers should be able to negotiate renewing deals with existing sponsors, or even negotiate with new ones. Maybe even engine and chassis in F3 could sponsor drivers on the proviso they HAVE to use that chassis/engine (more variety in F3 chassis). Or even maybe some sponsors pay less but help train your driver more? What do you think?

Debik: It is interesting idea. I am opened to listen to complex proposals. Only rule which should be followed is that it cannot change balance between drivers income and expenses. Otherwise it might spoil game economy. We can discuss this further as I collect ideas about this possible overhaul.

11. Will there be any other kind of team ownership in future other than F1/clubs?

Debik: There is currently opened idea on MotoGP team/manufacturer system. There should be 6 (maybe 7) bike manufacturers -> with 2+2 riders separated to 2 teams (like current Yamaha with Monster and Petronas teams).

12. To differentiate drivers from a start, would you consider "character traits"? For example, an aggressive driver would take more risks but also be better at passing, while a smooth one would save tyres but be less agressive.

Debik: There was such an idea in the past but was not taken positively by community. I don`t remember exactly how it was designed. Something like: Drivers getting some experience points, then for those points it would be possible to purchase something like books. Reading those during training would give driver the special trait. We can discuss it further.

13. Are younger/second drivers a possibility in the future, with karts and F4?

Debik: Yes, this is still plan/possibility for the future.

14. When will the voting portal page be updated with current voting timers? Several of the sites have changed their voting cooldown timers and no longer match MRC's timer. Examples are BrowserGameList (now called BrowserGameRank), which states on their voting page "every 12 hours", but MRC enforces every 24 hours for earning voting points. Others have changed their policies as well, and some of the once-per-day sites do not start the new day at the time MRC says. Since MRC doesn't award voting points if its own timer hasn't expired (even though the site accepted the vote and pinged MRC), it's important to have accurate timers for maximum voting points and maximum exposure for MRC.

Debik: I will investigate and fix the issue.

And thats all for now from Debik! For all of us thank you you took the time to answer our questions.

So as you have seen in the original text we should discuss points 2./10./12.
Respective thread is going to be created on WW forum to keep good view of it --> here.


I'd like to also repeat that we still search for person which would like to take look at Game manual and F1 manual to go through it propose changes find mistakes and fill empty spots. It can be anyone with good english even allready vacant with another admin function.

Thats all for now also from me.
Keep in mind my inbox is the right place to send questions for next press conference.

I wish great season to everyone, have fun and race hard!
