4 pointsThink this needs to be bought back, but with all the editions that have been added over the past years in terms of in team developments and driver transfers. Would be amazing. If you could do a career online with a mate. Maybe something that is doable on the crossover to next gen consoles. Opinions??

2 pointsI've been encountering this issue, for the very first time, today. I'm playing single-player events, and it has happened to me twice this morning, the second time I managed to get screenshots of the progress the issue was taking. The first picture was taken coming up to the finish line during qualifying. As you can see, well on course to beat the time set by Rasmus. The second picture shows the results. I'm right at the top, Rasmus in second. No penalties, everything as it should be. The third picture was the start of the grid when the race itself followed. There I am, right at the back, with Rasmus not even in pole position. As I said, this is the first time I have come across this issue. I play the game on Stadia, and it has been an absolutely perfect experience so far. You can see I'm player level 122 (if that's how you're counting those that reached 100 and continued!). The events in question, European Ferrari F430 Challenge Cup was the first I encountered this on, but didn't get any screenshots, then it happened again on the American Ferrari F430 Challenge Cup, for which I got these screenshots. Both events are in the base game Invitational category. I repeat, this hasn't happened online, just in single-player. Here's hoping this isn't something that's going to continue.. (I did already post this as a reply to another thread but thought I was also open a dedicated threat. Sorry if incorrect to do so!)

2 pointsAgree with you on most of the description of the "atmosphere" of F1. The "eye candy" part of the software is very good and fun. But on the idea that it simulates what it is like to be a driver in an F1 team - I would beg to differ. An F1 driver and an F1 team spend 95% of their time analyzing telemetry data and that ability is not in the game. It is hard to simulate the F1 experience when 95% of it isn't there. Which gets me to the car development part of the game. Typically car development is based on understanding the car's capabilities and what you want to improve by understanding how the car has handled given the variety of driver inputs to the car (telemetry). You can't do that as the game is currently structured.

2 pointsto be fair, there are plenty of people who are saying the exact opposite lol insert obviously wrong comments of "no stage rallies!" "Showdown 2" "$60 of DLC" "no post-launch support" D4 did have 13 locations, but the locations only had 1 discipline each, so yeah it spread very thin (though the landrush and RX careers were very short) this is going more for a D2/D3 setup, so most (? ee don't actually know yet) locations will probably have 2-4 disciplines, so it won't be spread that thin. the other issue with D4 was that more half of the alternate routes on the landrush/RX tracks were junior/clubman circuits that you'd play once in career because you had to and then never, ever again. they didn't make that mistake with DR2, and I expect they won't make it with D5, since they're going back to the D2/D3 style that sold like 3-4 million copies

2 pointsWill be around a week @baboonJay, depending on a few factors: Amount of applicants I believe is the highest we've ever seen Working from Home and 'My First BETA' could make the decision process a little longer while I make sure all is correct. However long it takes for me to get the list together and the right candidates. Successful applicants will be contacted via email

1 pointHi! A controller user with most assists between 2 and 4 and autobox here, I do feel how much time that auto box steals, but this is my way of frustrating relaxation. Somehow I managed to beat the masters career in a Mini: - 1st in Poland (with engine upgrade II!), - 2nd in Sweden, - 2nd in New Zealand, - 16th in Scotland (I don't think the curve there is exactly in line with others), - 6th or 8th in Monte Carlo (won downhill stages, lost heavily uphill, the fact that I don't remember the exact place is a part of the problem) - 2nd in Spain (again, struggled on every uphill stage but way less than in MC) Anyway, this achievement may seem laughable to you, that's understandable 🙂 I could do RWD up until Elite with unlocked diff, but could only beat Elite with H2 FWD cars, 4WD for some reason I'm not as excited about, to each his own I guess. My issue however is that I have no trace of coming first in masters, and I guess if I don't see it in my stats, it makes me sad. Now I understand, that seeking validation from an AI mode is questionable, but there's now a small void which I probably have to try and fill with beating masters using a more powerful car now... And to get to the question finally: is there a way to confirm my career run if I haven't made any screenshots or is it only a painful yet sweet memory now? 🙂

1 pointI admire the gentle and innocent optimism of the OP on this 😀 But I do hope that one good thing that might come from Dirt 5 is that it acts like a lightning-rod for all the 'gaminess' that Codies feel necessary to sell racing games. So by removing the Dirt 4 'serious rally content (tm)' , and going full bubble-gum rinky-dink, that would leave Dirt 2.0 as the serious rally simulation. Meaning a shift to really photographic looking graphics, for example. I loved Richard Burns Rally's depiction of locations because they weren't over saturated or 'gamey' looking. Gateshead looked grey and bleak - great! It's actually more transporting that way. And let's now, for the love of God, finally have a proper, decent, rewarding off-line career mode. NOT a management sim, mind you. But career progression with the feeling of being a rally driver working his or her way up.

1 pointah, you haven't seen this (otherwise pretty uninteresting) interview yet, have you? skip to 0:45 seconds in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFw752sJEhI he makes it clear that different seasons offer different places to race in NYC, and I think it's safe to say that this will mean different event types too, (you can't race on ice year round) and will apply to other (if not all) locations: Norway (it looks like Lofoten, which is very far north) is pretty different from summer to winter, so it's worth showing, and the one shot in the trailer where they showed different seasons seemed to be in China. the bottom line is that there's 70 routes, which roughly lines up with what Dirt 3 had (including the Japan & Monte Carlo DLC). 70 routes have to go somewhere. they're not going to have 10 locations each with 7 different routes in one discipline. that is a terrible way to design a game, and is completely contrary to how Dirt 2 and 3 were set up - not a good start for a game that's trying to emulate their atmosphere and success. uh, they announced the game 3 days ago, on Thursday. Friday was a holiday, and Saturday and Sunday are what we call the weekend. or, as they say in france, le weekend. they've already put out a roadmap for all the announcements (lol @ that. how ridiculous.) so they already have a plan for when we find everything out. so we're going to have to wait. so for disciplines, here are some safe guesses + things we know: Sprint car racing (announced) Ice racing (announced) RX (obviously. and getting the Amplified edition gives you a free VW Beetle RX) Rally (obviously. also C3 R5 and Escort Cosworth are announced) Buggies (announced) my predictions (not super likely, but possible imo): something team-based. D2 and 3 had team-based things, and the game is supposed to enable 4 player split screen in career mode. Raid? (you get a Ford F150 for preordering. however, it could be a landrush car, or something else) Trailblazer? (2 RGT cars from DR2 were in the trailer) Landrush (same as Raid)

1 pointIve said it before and i’ll say it again, the AI in this game (and the whole codies F1 series) is the best AI i have found in a racing game, by some way. Are they perfect, no of course not, but personally i dont want them to be. The stuff you guys are talking about happens in real races all the time. A bit of unpredictability is good. Honestly the only thing i would really like codies to change about the AI is to make them a little more prone to accidents/errors now and again. And yes, maybe they could improve the way lapped cars let you past (they do have a tendency to lift off mid corner) but it’s hardly a game breaker!

1 pointA Racing sim needs 1 fundamental thing. A great tyre physics model. TBH .even True sims dont feel like the real thing. Real life Racing cars or a good track day car racing around a real track smells .feels and puts a massive smile on your face. These games do it as best they can .but it's not real life. Try driving a 400bhp type R with a hybrid turbo around a track with proper slicks fitted. Or a track day R1 or R6 . That will scare the life out of you . Its only when you go home then to bed and you sudden realise how dangerous it was. What's the worst that could happen in sim Racing. AC is pretty decent on the old PC. And pcars2 ain't that bad on the ps4 F12019 is improving. Dirty rally 1.0 and the excellent 2.0 is another huge improvement. But for what we pay £50 plus DLC. Its cheap and tremendously affordable. . All the best .

1 pointThe handling in D4 did improve over DR in some ares, the 4WD was quite good, i don't remember the FWD, but the RWD was absolutely screwed up it's own backside. Paul wasn't wrong, they did tear it down and revisit it, fixed a lot of fundamental issues with DR physics, but the handling was messed up, and overly complicated once they split it to Arcade and Sim. As far as D4 being a serious rally game, it wasn't, it was trying to be DR 2 and D4 at the same time, they liked how popular previous Dirt games were and how popular the early access test title, DR, was received, so they made both games together, it failed.
-
1 pointGood God, you really are a master of changing your own goalposts. You stated 'Dirt 4 was in no way a serious rally game'. This is flat-out wrong. That is all. It would have been nice for D5 to continue the serious rally component. It won't. End of story.
-
1 pointI hope that this news means the split between arcade and simulation, and we could get a Rally 3.0 game with more realism on the physics and in the competition.

1 pointThis game isn't even out and you say it will be amazing. Maybe you should wait for some gameplay and for the release. Instead of being all hyped and calling the game amazing based of just an effing trailer

1 pointDang I can't stand those but you can't button mash cos it costs you dev time! It's so silly. The whole thing is based around the belief that your entire car development team is listening in and if you praise some people they give half price work time and if you don't they give you full price.. Can you imagine Lewis giving an interview and he says "great race but me daft wing wuz 'anging off half the ruddy time. It wuz reet crappy that wor"... Then his aero people thinking "wot a reet berk eh? Hammy wor callin' us reet daft eh.. Tha cheeky bugger!" Then they work to rule before his next race to get slower upgrades..... Nope! 🏎️🤣🙄 PS apologies for the accent right out of Viz Comic I couldn't help it sorry! 🤣 😎

1 pointThanks for listening, now if the third sector is much better. Also highlights the great improvement in sound

1 pointMy honest opinion. I like so much Codemasters F1 Games, since 2010 (had on PS3) and 2011-2019 on Steam, Very good F1 Simulator, I say that, because, can simulate many things from real life. For me ' simulation ' don't mean about handling, FFB and car driving related, but in general, let's make a comparison from some things that we can see: Real Life: In car, the drivers can change multiple options by pressing or rotating switchs; Game: We have some that functions, like BBias, MIX Fuel, ERS modes; (of couse that actual car have engine mapping modes, but I said, simulate engine modes) Real Life: On The track have FIA Digital Flags; Game, On game we have this too, and works... Real Life: The weekend, have 3 FPs, Qualifying and Race; Game: We have option to choose full length sessions. Of couse there much more to we compare, but I will not list all, I do not want to be very extensive here. So, it's my opinion that I want to share with you.

1 pointWe never use league mode. There are too many issues with regards to reserve drivers, being able to quickly restart, (without redoing quali) or adding/removing our own penalties. (So the standings won't be correct anyway) We would love for league mode to be fixed and the game to become stable enough to use it. (And for engine/gearbox wear to be added so it actually adds something but that's another discussion) We use unranked lobbies for our league races. Just meant to say that it was not a random lobby were people were leaving and joining all the time which can cause issues on its own. but a league race where we know all the people and know they usually have a stable connection. Everybody was from northwestern Europe too. As sterile an environment as you're gonna get online in this game.

1 point@BarryBL Any word on this? Will it be fixed? Just wanna say: I bought the Legends Edition on launch and was basically only interested in the classic content and I personally see the rest as a bonus. But I stopped playing the game a few days after release because of this annoying broken sound. It doesn't feel right. I am not interested in the game until it's fixed. Please make at least sure, it will be fixed for F1 2020, if there will be classic cars like these. I come from the DiRT Rally-side, but it would be cool, if I had a 2nd Codemasters game to enjoy. Just please at least try to get it fixed 😟
