I often find that the group up front never seems to get caught in my pro mode. For one race, I was in a small group up front. Nearing the ending few kms, we got caught up to

I find that there's a great difference and the AI is actually very smart.

If the ones in the lead are far behind in the GC, the leaders let them take the stage often.

Might be a stupid question, but in PCM 16 how do I see or know when my ryders need water? I can't see a level variation in the bottle symbol

The outline of the bottle is blue when full and when depleting will become grey from top to bottom. You have to look very hard though.

Yup they really messed up with water bottles.. Hope they make it clearer.

i need the most simple db
just real names of WT teams,no photos of cyclist or other additions
for online i needed because i can't play online with these custom dbs
realname dbs aren't just realname dbs

As every year, there is an (un)official real name DB.
Sadly the steam workshop is broken at the moment so it cannot be found. Maybe somebody who has subscribed to it can post the link?

i have pcm france db but people can't play
they appear just syncronizing and after few seconds disconnect or not online,that means their game crashed

these custom dbs are working just offline
online maybe if users have the exactly same db but i'm not sure for that
with default db you don't have no problem
so i need a db with just real name of cyclists,no real shirts,no real race names....
it takes me 1 hour to edit 7-8 team rooster

Okey, maybe it's just me but(!), how do i get my custom DB to work? Cant find it when im choosing a db when im starting a new game..

Im using the latest PCM DB, only tweaked it alittle. I guess it's a quick fix for this, but how do i change? It doesent appear when im given the option to choose.

You have to put it in My documents as described in the official tutorial. I have posted the links in the database sub forum.

Im not talking about the fact that the Daily db doesnt appear or none of that, it's my own version of it, if you catch my drift? I'll go over the placement of my version of db again and check. Hopefuly it's just that.

Thank you Lachi the great

The placement of the db is:

\Documents\Pro Cycling Manager 2016\Mod\Database

Maybe just move the DB to MOD?

FYI: It's a CDB file im talking about

Is your cdb named OfficialRelease.cdb?

I got your point, i just have to replace the the one named officialrealease.cdb in the folder.

\Documents\Pro Cycling Manager 2016\Mod\PCMdailyExpansionPack_v020

I'll try.

And it worked, thank you all for the help

Just moved the offical one, and named my db officalrelease

The new system messed me up there, haha.

You could make your own "database" by copying the whole pcmdaily folder.
Just never rename the database, only the folder.

It works like a charm tho, im editing the PCM daily db - and then replacing it. Im not making anything else on my own. Just editing the stats and what not.

In wich folder does the saves end up now?

Cloud/your name

Thank you sir. Time to Lachi editor it up on my save hehe

only me that have a big issue on mountain stages where we have like 150 riders until 5 km from top ? and 20-30 riders in sprint final often ?
