ApexRivals Career Mode LITE 1.0.2b

Logic:
-The "Family" value now works differently from before
Before, a car class from the "GT3" family could only appear once in a tier, no matter what
Now, a "GT3" family class can appear multiple times, as long as they are part of a different race series
This will result in bigger careers if using the "Fill by family" setting

-A specific car class for a racing series can now appear on multiple tiers
Before, if the "World GT Challenge" had LMDh multiclassing with GT3 at tier 1, the GT3 class could not appear at the lower tiers since it was already "taken" for this race series
Now, the GT3 class can both appear at tier 1, multiclassing with LMDh, and also appear at a lower tier
This will result in bigger careers if using the "Fill by family" setting



Automobilista 2:
-Fixed a rare error that could be caused by SecondMonitor exporting results containing an empty driver

-Updated the cars database for Group A, apparently Reiza decided to remove 4 skins from the game without warning, probably in preparation for the upcoming Audi quattro

YOU NEED TO GO IN SETTINGS -> DLC AND UPDATE THE DATABASES FOR THIS TO TAKE EFFECT

If you have made custom presets, you will need to modify the cars database manually, or overwrite it with the new one

If your current career has you racing Group A, there's unfortunately no easy fix for it other than modifying the XML file manually, sorry about that



Assetto Corsa:
-Fixed oval spec cars not working



UI:
-Driver titles are now displayed differently, and displays the actual car class where the title was earned
Before: World GT Challenge race winner x5
Now: GTE (World GT Challenge) race winner x5
Old titles will still be displayed, but will not stack with the new titles

-There will now be a warning in the "Create career" menu if you have not created databases yet, with instructions on how to create them

-Changed the wording of the "skip tier" option, making it more clear that you are dropping DOWN a tier, and not up

-If a driver has a broken image, you will get an error message telling you which filed is causing the error, and the problematic image will not be loaded, avoiding a crash

-Driver images now support capitalized file extensions (.JPG vs .jpg)



If you are playing on Automobilista 2, make sure to go in Settings -> DLC and update the databases!

Bugfix:
-Fixed the "Half length" and "Quarter length" settings not being applied correctly
-Fixed a crash that would happen if a "Family" value was set to "NULL" in the Tiers.db

Automobilista 2:
-Added support for a specific skin pack that used a different name format for the Formula Retro Gen2

Automobilista 2:
-Made the AI race pace to qualifying pace ratio much closer
-Optimized custom skins handling, creating the databases with custom skins should now be much quicker
-Added support for the Indycar 2023 mod, the custom skins assets will now be created automatically. You still need to update the databases yourself however
-Fixed an error that would be caused by custom skins using the character "&"
-Fixed error generated by custom skins for the McLaren MP4/5B

Bugfix:
-Added a validation to make sure each tier has at least 1 possible class before starting a career
-Added better check for valid game install path
