Pit instructions F12

On the pit instructions display, you can set up what actions should be taken while doing a pitstop. Additionally, there is a fuel display and other generic information, for example if a pitstop is required (by racing rules) or not. At the top right corner, the name of the setup you are using is displayed.

You can change the settings similarly to the F11 menu, by using the arrow keys: use ↑ / ↓ to highlight the setting you want to change (row turns yellow), and then use ← / → to decrease, increase or change the value. Requested setup changes stay red until the changes are applied during a pitstop. You can cancel all planned changes by highlighting row "Setup changes requested [cancel]" and pressing ↵ Enter.

The values displayed in the square brackets [] indicate the difference to the current setting. For example, if you currently have 5° front wing and change it to 8°, the bracketed value will read [+3°]. As soon as you do your pitstop, the changes will be applied and the value reset to [+0°]. For most setup changes, you will need to repair any damage you have incurred before the pitstop for the changes to be applied. This will happen automatically. For this reason you should take into account whether your damage will delay your pistop for long enough to cancel out the speed you will gain by changing your setup.

The change instructions include:

Fuel to add at Pit Stop: Sets the amount of fuel that will be added in the pitstop. This ranges from 0% to 100% and will fill the tank to a maximum of 100%.

Tyre change if wear > X%: Sets the amount of how much a tyre must be worn before it will be changed. If you set it to 10%, then even a slightly worn tyre will be changed, if set to 90% the tyre must have almost no tread left before it gets replaced. LFS will only replace the tyres that fit this criteria. You will need to be careful that some tyres on your car may not be changed if you have set this percentage incorrectly. If this is set to 'always', all of the tyres will be changed regardless of wear.

Repair Damage: Boolean field. [Yes] will repair all damge, [No] will repair none.

Wheels are symmetric/asymmetric: Defines wether you want to edit the front/rear wheels in a symmetric fashion or not. If you choose asymmetric, you can also edit the left/right side independendly.

Tyre type: Change this if you want to mount a different type of tyres. See tyre types for more information.

Camber adjust: See camber adjust.

Pressure: Sets the tyre pressure.

Wing: (only on cars with downforce) Sets the angle of your wings. See downforce.

Please note that depending on the car you drive, some of the options seen on the screenshot might not be available. For example, on non-downforce cars, there is of course no wing adjustment.
