Open Wheel Manager 2 News

Update 1.1.1

[p]A records screen has been added. It features the all-time Top 10 drivers across various categories. Filtering is available both for the entire championship and for individual teams.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

HOTFIX #10

  • [p]Fixed a bug where a driver with sponsorship offered zero salary instead of a sponsorship fee. [/p]
  • [p]Adjusted sponsor finance parameter when the mod contains not enough sponsors for each team rank. Previously, if the mod had too few sponsors with a finance rating of 3 or lower, "outsider" rank teams were unable to sign any sponsors and would go bankrupt.[/p]

HOTFIX #9

Release Notes

* Fixed a bug causing the game to freeze after a 3D race if any driver retired on the first lap
* Fixed live timing UI when the player's driver failed to qualify
* Fixed an issue where engine resource was reduced twice per lap
* Fixed an error where manager age was incorrectly converted to birthdate in historical modes

Update 1.1 is live!

[p]This long-awaited update brings important improvements to race generation modes. The new Live Timing mode, based on a text-and-table layout, combines fast race simulation with strategic control over driver pit strategy. The simplified interface also made it possible to implement multi-car collisions and safety car deployments.
[/p][p]The tyre performance model has been reworked. It now behaves non-linearly—tyres maintain their effectiveness longer and only noticeably drop off closer to the end of their lifespan. This allows for strong lap times over longer stints.
[/p][p]Version 1.1 changelog:[/p]
  • [p]New Live Timing mode[/p]
  • [p]Improved tyre performance model for both Live Timing and 3D modes[/p]
  • [p]Reworked weather changes in Live Timing and 3D[/p]
  • [p]Driver and staff skills now range from 1 to 20[/p]
  • [p]Board confidence penalty for missed targets halved[/p]
  • [p]Qualifying duel information moved from the News section to the Championship section[/p]
  • [p]Various bug fixes across the game and mod integration[/p]
[p][/p][p]During development, several cases of game freezes during the off-season were also addressed. If you have an older save affected by this issue, please check whether it now loads correctly after installing version 1.1. If the problem persists, you can send the save file to [email protected] or via Discord.[/p][p][/p][p]The editor has also been updated to the latest version: https://paprikashgames.com/OWM2EditorBuild.zip

We fixed a number of bugs and added support for loading driver statistics from gpracingstats.com
The external stats block is displayed in-game separately from internal stats and does not affect them in any way. To maintain compatibility with older mods, driver and staff parameters are still entered in the editor using a 1–10 scale and are automatically converted to a 1–20 scale in-game.[/p]

Patch 1.0.2

* fixed a bug where a driver who decided to retire could sign a new contract
* fixed an off-season freeze caused by incorrect processing of data from some mods
