In simple terms, the scout system does not work as intended.

No matter what order or number of times you add or remove drivers or staff, they never show up in the order you select.

If you select drivers, it sometimes scouts designers. If you set not to roam, sometimes it roams.

You can go over a week with no reports, despite a full list and all sorts of testing and races going on. Nothing. Wake up the next day and see 15 reports of all sorts, most of them either not on your list, or way down your order of scouts.

It doesn't work! Please fix it - most other things in the game work, but the scout system has been faulty for 4 seasons now.

Even if it means stripping the options down to sort it, would it not just be a million times better to have a scout option that scouted your selected staff just in the order you have them saved. As simple as that?

For a game that tries to shield driver attributes etc, this has to be fixed.

they only scout when the person being scouted is working on a project or a driver is taking part in a race

mhm but.... you are with them day in day out.. I agree if they are doing nothing. Finding out about your own staff should be automatic with time.

Given the new R&D system, would you seriously give the task of heading an expensive project to an untested person? Just so you can scout him?

See I like choices and dilemmas as anyone, but I could waste a lot of time on having some muppet head up my development before I find out whether he is any good or not. I can see that this works with drivers, but extending it to staff is silly.

Plus I am not saying, let's just reveal the stats. I am just saying that I should be able to get at least a foggy idea of whether someone is any good 4 months after they have been serving in a junior capacity.

I've had people on my scout list since season 1 working in my team and I still can't see their skills!
