Brake change in pit

[Tommy78]

Is there a possibility to add brake disc change for the pit menu? The brake disc wear is present in the game, so it would be good to have brake change option especially in an endurance race.

Perhaps this is what you're looking for:
-Vehicle option for brake repair in a pitstop

That's from the changelogs for Build: 10601581

I am interessted in this info too maybe @John Ratcliff can help here

also add the possiblity to chage brake cooling at pit stops ?
with dynamic weather and day/night/day cycle, brake cooling as engine cooling could be set at pitstop and pit menu ?

In PITMENU I would try:
AllBrakes
AllBrakesTime
I don't know if it's a single value in each or multiple. Maybe some testing will find out (trace file should show any parameter errors). You should get a 'replace brakes' entry in the MFD pit screen.

 

[Robin Pansar]

AllBrakes is just a single value.AllBrakesTime has three parameters.
Ex.
[PITMENU]
AllBrakes=0 //0 = disallow brake repair 1= allow brake repair -- is my guess
AllBrakesTime=(120,12,1) // Time to fix brakes, random delay, concurrent -- again, just my guess so it can be wrong.

That's fine, and working well. The only thing we need after this, is to display the break wear on the car LCD, or on the menu display where we can check the brake temp for example, because we can't check the wear in the setup menu while we are racing on an endurance race. And also would be good to have separate front and rear brake change.

Wouldn't you just work out a safe replacement interval in testing?

Yeah I calculated the wear and add around an extra 50-60 km to use it, but it depends on the usage of the brake, maybe on the brake pedal they use, and also on the brake duct settings. And also don't know if the wear is linear. But I calculated the wear after run 20 laps on Bathurst, which is around 120km. I think it's enough to calculate an average wear. They changed the brake after 500km on the Bathurst 1000 in '89.
