    It looks interesting. Does Attack mode work with AI?

    Hi,
    At last, you could have fixed the disks glow issue which is only apply to the car you drive and not to the IA...
    What a shame, this the 2nd year with that same trouble and you did nothing to fix it !

    I'm interested to know if they now allow you to turn off Attack Mode in the turning window since the AI were not permitted to use it previously, which made it a nuisance in solo offline racing. I "fixed" the ini file in the car-upgrade.mas to give that option for solo racing, but it would be nice if they did it officially.

    Wonder if the native steering wheel displays lap delta - like the real car does???? No cockpit shot in the release video.
    Really shouldn't have to use a third party overlay as with previous editions.
    And I bought the FE pack in April 2021. What does this add??

    Well, in my first offline race against the Ai i have done, i was the only one who has used the attack mode.... Thats a shame because i always get a DSQ if i do not use it ... Please fix this! -_-

    Totally agree. Really nice to drive on really nice bumpy city courses.

    Yeah, they didn't bother when they released it the first time, and haven't bothered to do anything about it with this update, so I would guess they won't be doing anything about it at all.

    Another half finished release.

    I think it'll be on their list because they're the licensed F-E product (simulation at least). But this isn't a straightforward addition, and AI development (or decay-reversal in some cases) hasn't been a thing yet since S397, so I wouldn't be expecting anything anytime soon.

    I personally wouldn't use the term "didn't bother". Modifying the AI code to make use of attack zones is more complex than many other community wishes. I am aware most of the simpler ones haven't happened yet either, to keep that in context.

    I would say the best option in the short-medium term would be to easily be able to disable attack zones (for offline and online use) instead of needing to do a custom upgrade which is beyond the majority of the userbase. Of course then it's no longer modern F-E, so 'just' making them work is obviously the ideal solution.

    Ohh I understand the complexity issue.

    But the fact is, they must have known this, and yet did nothing to mitigate it upon release, and have still not addressed it even though there is a seemingly simple solution of being able to disable attack mode for all (not ideal but at least it would be something).

    As for it being on a list to fix, yeah I'm sure it is, it's just that their list is soo long that the chances of it being fixed this millennium is quite low.

    It's just frustrating because you read things asking about this all over the internet, and people who have invested money into a package of cars which promises 'attack mode' etc, and yet you can't actually use it in an offline capacity -- something I think should be advertised BEFORE someone pulls our their wallet to buy the product.

    Just my take on it - no argument with you Lazza.

    Much love

    Amount of attack modes can also just be an option in the ui. Let the user decide

    Personally I find the real series incredibly boring but this car in the sim is a blast to drive. It's in my top 3 funniest cars.
