I am new to the leader/helper dynamic of the recent PCM versions and have never tried Lachi's season planner or any other for that matter.
I am looking for a method to efficiently plan my riders' seasons but am encountering several issues.
From forum posts I gathered the season planner that should work with PCM 17 should be Lachi's 16 (I downloaded v13 beta). I can't get it to work however. When I load the .cdb file in My Docs -> cloud -> username it says the file is not an active career.
I also gathered that leader should be changed using db editors in DYN_season_targets, but in the aforemented .cdb file there doesn't seem to be a table with this name.
Can anyone help me?

the Lachi season planner for pcm16 dosent works on pcm17, we can just wait hoping for a pcm2017 Lachi planner update.
concerning the ingame planning system is almost not efficent and not usefull as from every game release.
Cynide never spent time to provide a good ingame planner as normaly should to be. |

Well, at least the option to assign riders to races beforehand, therefore displaying when your rider get tired, is a big improvement (although by far not perfect). So credit to them to at least provide something after ... how many years since they started making the game? |

Is there any way to copy fitness schedules for riders or will I have to set a schedule for every rider?
EDIT: Also, does anyone have tips for how to set training intensity? The amount of tiredness seems a bit random to me at times...

I actually made one by myself from scratch in Excel, which isn't too hard - just timeconsuming. You only need to write down all the races at the top horizontally and specify how many cells they use in correspondence to how many stages it has and the names of your riders vertically. Add an extra column to keep track of how many race days one has. Then you can start planning. It's not as fancy as Lachi's, but it works for me ... it just takes a while before you have a complete season plan if you're a nitpicker like me and want to plan everyone's schedule, even compensating for possible injuries 
And yes, you can copy fitness schedules for riders. The easiest is to group them with a leader, so they adopt their schedules. |

That's the excel file I use. It's for PCM11 and 2012 calendar, but maybe it can help:

Hi,
Lachi's planner put this planning also automatically in the game.
So my question is, does anyone know which table(s) you need to put in this planning?
I'm trying to build up a season planner (also in Excel) but i don't know which tables are affected, so it's visible (and working) ingame.
thx |

I think with PCM17 this might be a little trickier, now that you can assign riders to a race. If Lachi's planner works the way it used to work, you still need to do this manually, unless someone knows how to add that to the planner.
If you have Lachi's planner, you might want to take a look at the macro's he used. There should be a DB script in there which shows which tables he used. |

I see a lot of talk about my planner, so maybe I should comment here.
As many have mentioned, my planner for PCM2016 is not compatible for PCM 2017. But maybe I could make it compatible.
Edit: I found another thread about my planner, look here: https://pcmdaily.c...st_1250376
