4 pointsEmberGen runs in realtime by using your graphics card to the max. The better the card, the more complex things you can do without any slowdown. On my machine with a 970 GTX it runs fine, on my other machine with a 2070 RTX it runs even better 🙂 The in-game integration is indeed sprite based, it can output a bunch of handy source data so it's not just colour but other things as well that we can use to make things pretty. There is an option to export volume data but that is not for realtime use, it's waaay too costly to do it in a game (for now anyway). I've had a hand in many titles 🙂 The only difference is the way the 2D sprites are generated. EmberGen works with true volumetrics and real time fluid simulations including combustion etc. The nice thing is that you can tweak stuff in real time and see it update immediately. In most other software (FumeFX, Houdini etc) you tweak your values then simulate which can take anywhere from a few minutes to hours to days before you see what those tweaks look like. EmberGen cuts down the iteration time significantly, but you still end up with 2D sprites in the end.

2 pointsYes mate, we're racing. Standings are live too. Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes split by 7 points off memory for P2 in the Constructors, P1 Alfa Romeo

2 pointsI've been thinking about this extensively over the last couple of weeks - with all these lockdown measures and being a massive F1 fan, what else better to do? Anyway - I've figured there are 5 ways to go about this. Option 1. Go for the realistic route - i.e Honda F1 Team. However, the livery & badge options will be limited so this could end up looking like some cheap wannabe version, and i can see myself cringing at my attempt to be authentic, losing enthusiasm and defaulting back to the regular career mode quickly. Option 2. Combine realistic with a personal aspect - i.e Wilson Jaguar Racing. This way it's as if you yourself are the owner and you are simply backed by a manufacturer or a big name. This can give you a peace of mind as why the badge isn't the Jaguar badge etc. Option 3. Go full personal - i.e Wilson Motorsport F1 Team. Imagine it's actually YOU setting up YOUR team, let's say you won the euromillions twice a week for a month and you decide to actually enter Formula 1. This gives you a full license to go with whatever colour scheme & badge you desire, but you lose that sense of realism as eventually "Wilson Motorsport" is going to be fighting with Ferrari & Mercedes for the championship, and i can't help thinking it sounds like a back of the grid struggling team. Also you'll have the other far-fetched situation of 'Wilson driving for team Wilson' and i don't know if i can swallow that amount of fantasy. Option 4. Try to recreate an historic team - i.e Benetton Renault. Trying to design a somewhat accurate livery to convince yourself it's the team you watched as a child may be difficult. With the fake sponsors & basic badge it will lose another aspect of the team you are trying to resurrect. Having said that, i can see this option being popular. Perhaps not for me though. Option 5. Do something stupid/fun. i.e CrashAlot F1 Team. Shackles are off if you decide to go with this option - rainbow livery? Hire the worst driver possible for maximum banter? I feel like some of the younger audience may roll with something like this, although the idea of it makes me want to vomit. In conclusion - I think i'll go with option 2. As if it's me, with the backing of a major brand or manufacturer, personal yet powerful. Retaining a somewhat realistic element. It wouldn't sound so ridiculous that Wilson Jaguar Racing might eventually fight for wins. Well anyway that's my thoughts on the whole 'My Team' game mode. I can't wait to get started.

2 pointsI found that race painful to watch. It was a ramming bumper car fest which allowed Russell to coast to victory without even having to try. I wouldn't be happy winning that way. The esports pros were way better to watch. Came down to the wire with respectful driving as usual.

1 pointWith the addition of the "My Team" Career mode in singleplayer, allowing you to become the 11th team on the grid and allowing 22 cars to be racing together... my question/suggestion is.... Could 22 player races be done in multiplayer? Obviously this wouldn't really be possible if your using the proper F1 teams (McLaren, Renault, Ferrari etc etc) but if you were to set up a multiplayer lobby with the Multiplayer Cars (assuming that that feature will be remaining in 2020), could this allow the lobby to reach 22 racers/players + 2 spectators instead of the standard 20 + 2 spectators? Because it's not as if it really matters when it comes to teams, you just get assigned a team mate for the purpose of sharing a pit garage for pit stops and with the 11 teams in the "My Team" Career mode, there will already, in theory, be 11 pit garages and 22 starting positions allocated to each track. This is more me wondering and just thinking out loud.

1 pointAm I the only one who ranks USA as their least favorite track? I'm forcing myself to do the Weekly Event. Definitely not looking forward to most likely getting track warnings and or a time penalty. It has no flow to It. Not to mention it's extra slick with the Classic cars. Anybody else in the same boat? Almost forgot to mention that second last turn, you know.... the blind one 😒

1 pointIn a racefans.net interview it was confirmed, that we can only put fictional sponsors on our cars in Career mode. So I took a look in F1 2019 at the Multiplayer Cars, and the sponsors they have (and are likely to be in the next one), and collected all of them, I found (43 total). Here is the list:

1 pointWinning the Constructor's Championship is a Team effort! Big shoutouts to the whole Team, all the Engineers, the social medias and my boi Jeff, without whom we could not have done it. Oh yeah and @Flash224 also kinda did a decent job. 😉
-
1 pointYou don't lose any distance driven by restarting the race, it's updated every time you cross a sector, so quitting mid race will still count that distance too 😉

1 pointWhat this means is that Dirt Rally 3.0 simply can not skimp on a decent career mode. And by God it'd better be offline.

1 pointSpot on man! It's not just about acceleration and braking and turning its about BALANCE. Nailing the weight transfer so 2 corners ahead you can put the power on instead of being way out of position.

1 pointIf only it had some gravel traps and grass it could be one of the best tracks in my opinion, but with the huge amount of run-off it removes all the feeling of risk/reward or driving on the edge.

1 pointDepends entirely on the available sponsors and decals whether I take it seriously or not, if its not just generic three colour schemes with blank spaces all over Ill just do a 5 lap 0 difficulty season to get any trophies and never play it again.....BUT if they actually implement something serious then Ill revive the Orange and Black used by Arrows in the early 00s

1 pointConsidered this carefully, and the answer is, I wouldn't bother! Bit of a pointless new feature in my opinion. Time could have been better spent improving the core game. Or even writing a new game engine for the next generation of consoles. No doubt it's a feature that will exploit microtransactions.

1 pointThis could be quite a fun forum-only competition I could run perhaps? MyTeam creator. Add things like: Real-life inspiration (or inspiration in general) Story of your MyTeam (word count limited) Customised Details of your MyTeam Obviously, this is a LONG way off happening and I'd have to get some more details together. Voting done my other users for some sort of reward?

0 pointsF2 star Dan Ticktum has announced he will start his own F1 team, which he will also drive for, in 2021! Oh, actually he hasn't because that's really stupid. When I want to play an F1 management game I turn on Motorsport Manager. The codemasters games are supposed to be licensed F1 DRIVING games. What a stupid feature for them to produce. Will obviously be rushed and ridiculously buggy too.
