would also be nice if headlights came on automatically if you start a race and they are required. The grid is usually quite well lit, so you don't instantly think about putting your headlights on. Green light, boom instant DQ for no headlights.
why would you even have an option to not have headlights on at night?

Because... it tries to be a simulator?

Ever watched a NASCAR or dirt track night race? Hint: the cars don't have headlights (except for NASCAR decals, LOL).

You should ask once or open your thread about it, posting the same question so many times doesn't help and looks childish so don't tell me I am negative, you are the one acting like a 3 years old boy...the simple fact I have to explain that proves I am right...

GT3 Pack - Now Available.
Leave your comments and feedback below!
They want comments and feedback they should be prepared to answer a very straight forward question that he has been asking for quite a few months with absolutely zero response from anyone.
Silence like this might mean there is a problem that S397 would rather not be publicly known.

Have you tried asking Chris via pm ??

S397 allways state that they want comments, read comments and take actions to debug problems, provide missing stuff or add wished for content when possible. If a bug is not reproducible (thx MarcG) they get back to you and ask for more info.
In the meantime they focus on working instead of chatting.
...which, I think, is a good way of being efficient as a Dev.

I´m sorry to warm up an old chapter, but:
We had a race in Most (no chicane) and I noticed a very high tire wear in out post-race statistics for the Radical.
So I just ran Tests with the McLaren Default set and Radical Default set, same road grip, conditions. Wear Rate and fule rate x4. Full fuel on both, tire pressure 140 all, S7 soft.
After first lap the McLaren still had 98% on the left side, at the Edge of Jumping to 97%. The Default set Forces a lot of understeer so I had to push it hard and got also in slides trying to get it around.
With the radical I had 96% for some time so it was allready close to 95%.
After 50% fuel, the McLaren I got 87-88% on the left, with the radical 76% only!
With Medium, I have only 84% left for the radical, still less than a McLaren with softs
Sry there is something off, also Corvettes have extremly low tire wear now.
Feel free to check the race report:
https://downloads.virtualracing.org/rFactor/2018-2/GTM-II/Results/GTM-II_PS_Most_R.html
Click on R Sector/Laps. Me was #3. Compare to leader in cv on Softs. Or #8 who had to pit after some wild fights and a crash, definitly not helpful for low tire wear.
Pls have a look into
thx

Comparing cars with default setup is the worst thing you could do, especially the Radical, that car IMO need a rather different approach to drive, it's not a car for everyone.

I raced it with a very different set, and the result was more or less the same as you can see.
So go out for a test yourself, it´s easy to do.

I drove the Radical pretty much exclusively in many championships after release as I like to add some variety to the grid and I kinda enjoyed it at first, never had serious issues with tire wear as long as I kept it under control. But in the end I gave up of that car because it just isn't for me, felt way more stressfull to drive it for a full race compared to the other cars because had to watch the tires way more with it, a proper setup and calm driving helps a lot.
It should not be in the pack anyway, horrible choice with so many cool GT3 out there.

I did not drive the Radical for some time now, meanwhile there happened some bop adjustments afaik. Maybe something went wrong. Or maybe it is an issue with the suspension on a bumpy road. It feels very nervous on a bumpy road where a Corvette eats bumps like nothing

Yep, the Radical feels like an oversized go kart 
on a bumpy track you need a lot of suspension and ride height adjustment

I’m testing the pack atm to pick a car for a new season starting soon . I’ve chosen the rad as it’s different and challenging , after long tests lve found tires do wear faster but found a tweak of steering ratio to 22 /570? l think and found a 15% better tire life.. Reducing rear rear downforce also makes a big change to over steer and push causing tire wear on fronts but also brings controlling rear wear into it

Hello
How can i solve it, the team should be in one pit? I created some driver in userdata/settings folder.

I tried reducing steering Ratio and I can confirm it helps to recuce wear, on the other side it slows you down also
Why? I do not Need full tire angle in both cases, I roll through a Corner with same tire angle.
All Right you could say full range makes your driving more agressive, faster aprupt directional changes. But lets look at some numbers:
The Radical has 22° max Wheel rot and a Wheel base of ~2710mm, this is a min turning Diameter of 14.5m. Sensitivity (Control angle per Wheel angle 580°/22°) is 25.6
The McLaren has 21° max Wheel rot and a Wheel base of slightly less, only 2670mm, yields at Diameter of 14.9m, very similar. Sensitivity is 26.4, not much different
So if it is the harsh driving due to high steering sensitivity, why is my driving in the McLaren not affected the very same way?
Btw the wheelstand of the radical is very same than for the other gt3, there is no reason that it is much more nervous.
Just to add the Corvette: 12° @ 2713mm, Turn diam 26m (huhh), sensitivity 34,2.
But the Corvette tells us what turn Diameter is needed to race, 26m min turning is enough. So you never exploit the radical range anyway. The Wheel bases are so similiar, the true tire angles are more or less the same if you turn with the car… why the big differences?
Now I made a turn test in Monza with the Radical and McLaren. From the wall on the S/F straight turning left and Looking where you get out on the other side. The concret width is ~19m there. Both cars should turn on the concret. btw. The Corvette crahed into the other wall side, ok 26m turn Diameter..
As you can see the McLaren has a significantly higher turning circle, more likely 21-22m, so the Setup data is wrong or wrong applied.
The radical turns approx how expected with ~15m, still some margin to the end of the concrete line
Last test was to reduce the steering Ratio of the McLaren into the direction of the Corvette. It became nearly undrivable for me, no grip, lot of understeer, slow, very different driving
