    Game is about F1 2020 season, and Merc will use black livery during 2020 season. So only right thing is to have that livery in game.

    Love your rig. I built one out of an old entertainment centre, with a leather-upholstered seat from a 1998 Suburban. Seat belt and arm rest included, but the rails were missing so it wasn't adjustable. Unfortunately, it took up too much space in the living room, so I converted it to this. Folds down for storage and easy entry, and clamps down on the arms of my big comfy chair. 🙂 To @joefane, if you take what you know about inputs on the controller and use that exact logic on the wheel and pedals, you'll do fine. If you're currently battling near 100 AI, you obviously know how to race. Doing that on a wheel and pedals just takes practice to get used to the different motions. After a while, muscle memory will set in and you'll wonder how you went so long without switching. 😉

    You struggle with reading and comprehension don't you? Sure, an idiot or two made a stupid and ignorant comment that ties to the issue/reasoning for Merc to put out the black livery. I get that ticks you off; me too! The topic worked towards optional liveries because someone suggested having the ability to run both, and I agreed. Not because of the intent you want to imply by painting everyone with the broad brush here, but because I like options and I get bored of running the same 10 car liveries for a year. It's about choice. Nobody said it was a priority. Stop sticking words in peoples mouths, that's all you've done here. Assumed everyone is racist for wanting an option, that's just stupidity. It's a suggestion to have an option, that's all for some. Nothing more, nothing less. I'm not sure why that concept is so hard for you to grasp. Nobody said it had to be done for THIS YEAR, or RIGHT NOW. Not that I'm aware of anyways. I'd just like the option. Keep overlooking the issue here though to push your narative because a few idiots made ignorant posts. Again, lets just agree to disagree here. It's just simpler that way, because it's clearly not getting through to you that this isn't about race or a social movement for some, it's simply about having options IF a team has multiple liveries for some of us.

    Couple of questions! What is the race format? 25%/50% race distance, short qualifying, etc? How long for the races take usually?

    I agree with the OP. As a VR user, I am not sure I will be buying F1 2020. Once you try VR, going back to a 2D screen is no more an option.

    Developers should just NEVER EVER have trophies for content that will cease to exist after a specific time frame.

    I couldn't disagree more. People typically buy games to beat them 100% and get the Platinum Trophy. If you spend the money and buy a game like F1 2019 whenever it may be. Could be today, could be months from now. Let's say you know nothing about F1 and you impulse buy it at your local gaming store while browsing. (That's how I ended up owning it) You get it home and realize 2 Trophies will be unobtainable due to online events not happening anymore because a certain date was reached. I think the onus should be on Codemasters to place a warning on their game stating that certain trophies will not be obtainable when the newest version (2020) comes out. If I purchase a game even if it's years later, I expect to be able to get the 100% completion and Platinum Trophy. Or another option would be for Codemasters to send out an update/patch to users where it eliminates the 2 online trophies that are now unobtainable thus making it possible to reach 100% completion.

    Wrong. I'd still like the option since both we're deemed official, and lets face it this wasn't in Mercs plans until major visibility finally got given to a major issue. I'd like special testing liveries too though. Even the option to run the Williams/Rokit for this year. It's not game-breaking for me that it's not. I'm just saying, it'd be nice to have the option to keep the game fresh. Only if they're team "official" or run liveries during the year.

    So only the black people struggle right? But in the USA they are widely accepted, they dominate sports on all fronts. They have many successful musicians and artists also movie and tv stars. This is not the 60s we live in the most acceptable and progressive century I don't believe racism is an issue like 100 years ago. I personally don't judge people based on their skin. But here we are all connected with the f1 passion and we can all agree Lewis has success because people are not racist and see his talent, not his skin color. In my opinion people, in general, must be more good and compassionate we must not be judged how we look but what we do. Let me tell you I'm an artist in my profession never anyone I know care what is your skin color the only thing matters is how good you draw that's it 🙂 Back to the topic, we can all agree the grid this year is not the best looking like the 2020 year in general but I hope 2021 will have great looking cars I personally cant wait to see the new generation of f1 car designs.

    Oh come on! This is just ridiculous and I need to speak up. Why all of a sudden there should be optional liveries because there is a livery that takes a stance against racism? I didn't see anyone commenting in the Williams livery topic that the new one should be optional. And now all of a sudden there should be options to change the official car livery so there is isn't a black car taking a stance against racism in your game? It's because of this **** they had to introduce the livery in the first place.

    This is true, but for a healthy multiplayer population you need a wide range of skill levels and people interested in sticking around, and if half the playerbase jumps off to F1 or something else, you're stuck with private lobby racing (which ACC doesn't even have as a feature at the moment). I like that they decided to bring ACC to console, I hope they iron out their issues as more decent racing games to choose from is always a good thing.

    Actually more I play it more frustrated feeling it grows. I like AC, PCars2, DiRT Rally 1/2 and GT Sports (F1 2019 not so much). ACC on console has to be early access release, it feels so unfinished. I´m on PS4 Pro, hopefully it will be better with PS5 and I hope also DR2.0 will release performance upgrade for next gen consoles, it´s best in class at least until DR3.0 comes.

    Try this, it worked for me : "I'm just posting here because i fixed an issue that a lot of players has : My game runs at 5/10 fps on very low altought i have a good computer ( RTX 2070super, i7 cpu, 18Gb RAM, thrustmaster t150 wheel etc). You might even have this report when your game crash : "access violation at address 0x2e1cc875 in module 'dirtrally2.exe' + 0x8dc875. dirtrally2.exe" I'll make it short for you because i know you are prob tired of trying a lot of solutions : 1) go behind your computer 2) unplug your screen and search for another hdmi port BEHIND YOUR GRAPHIC CARD, it might be hidden behind a plastic cover. 3) Now your motherboard recognise your main graphic device as your GPU and not your CPU, and the game should run smoothly. i hope this helps, good luck "

    It is not a microsoft issue, i play on the PS4 and have the same problem. Why there is a forum to post problems if the company don't even see or care about, this is ridiculous

    You're absolutely right, The fact that we end up along-side Hamilton at Mercedes or given a Ferrari seat is already in the realms of utterly farcical. The fact we are supposed to convince ourselves we are even on the grid is a bit mad, but then it is a game at the end of the day. Coming in guns-a-blazing with a billion dollars, creating a team and then plonking myself in the drivers seat is actually more realistic by comparison. Perhaps this is the narrative i'll have subconsciously - That i'm a billionaire with a point to prove, and that given the funding anyone can join Formula 1 and be successful. I run the team, and i drive for my team, and i'm setting a new precedent. I don't know though, it is a difficult pill to swallow. The other thing that's difficult for me (yes you guessed it, on a realism standpoint) is that after 2 or 3 seasons the team is going to be fighting for championships. Silly as it sounds, i might deliberately slow down my progression within the game, not buy upgrades i could afford etc, as i want a couple of seasons at the back, and then a couple more seasons perhaps scraping into the points on a good day. I don't want it to be easy, i don't want my team to turn up and within 3 seasons wipe the floor with Hamilton & Mercedes, it's just stupid. A dream would be to come in as Wilson Motorsport, be 5 seconds off like 2010 HRT or something, but then slowly make my way through the ranks, gathering manufacturer backing along the way, so that by season 8 or 9 when i'm towards the front, i'm something like Equipe' Wilson Bugatti, but this is merely a dream. Would have been decent if your title sponsor is at the beginning of your team name, F1 2021 maybe. I hope this mode is something they tweak and develop over the coming years, and not just a feature that had a year in the spotlight and then Codies moved onto something else, this thing has real potential. There's a couple of other things i'm unsure on that maybe someone here knows - Can we change our livery between seasons? (i know we can change title sponsor) Because being stuck with exactly the same livery for a decade's worth of in game time is...well, i would want to at least tweak it between seasons like Mercedes at the very LEAST. Also what about changing engine supplier between seasons? If this is possible, then having your engine supplier in your team name could be a huge F if you want to change at some point. Actually to be honest an idea that i'm warming to is the 'Lawrence Stroll' gameplan, essentially as if my dad runs the team, and i'm the driver, so a team name as something related to him, thinking... because actually my dad used to race motorbikes in the 80's, do i bring back the team he raced for? I've seen some old pictures, i could create the colour scheme at least. But then it wasn't HIS team. Damn i've been pondering over this, and rambling on a lot. For me though it's not just a case of calling it some banter name like i've seen on twitter, painting the car day-glo green and having a laugh. I want to do this properly, i was to feel as if it's real, as if this is actually me, with my own car going up against the giants. I want to make this as authentic as possible.

    Well, i previously stated there were 5 options to choose from regarding the 'my team' situation. But.. Having seen the recent 'My Team' trailer drop, the thing that immediately stood out to me was the extremely basic custom badge, from the examples shown this looks like it will be a choice of a few generic shapes. This drastically changes the realism attempt in my opinion. If you're anything like me, the option of resurrecting an old official team, or trying to create a new manufacturer team like Porsche, Jaguar etc is now completely out of the window. The badge will utterly ruin the immersion. This only leaves the personal option open, with perhaps your chosen engine supplier attached to your surname e.g Wilson-Renault F1. (for added realism i would choose either Renault or Honda as your engine supplier as Ferrari already supply 2 other teams, and Mercedes will supply 3 other teams after 2020. Actually Renault would be the realistic choice. You're a Renault B-team guys) I have the other unfortunate complication that my surname is very close to Williams, therefore having Wilson vs Williams also makes me cringe inside. When i was in school i used to draw cars in all my books, but not Ferrari's or Lamborghini's no - i had come up with my own brand, and the designs were of my own imagination. This brand was called Evip. Now these days i realise it sounds like an electric cigarette brand, but back in 2005 there was no such thing, and i thought it sounded cool. Anyway, maybe now is the time for my teenage sketch car brand to come back to the spotlight. I've also been considering the colours that are not currently represented on the grid. For example, i wouldn't create an Orange car (McLaren) or a Pink car (Racing Point). With Toro Rosso changing to Alpha Tauri, and along with it their livery changing - Blue is now available, and this is a strong contender for my primary colour. Other colours not seen on the current grid include - Purple, Green, Gold, Grey, Highlighter yellow (think brawn GP stripe) , Black, Aqua/turquoise. So i recommend selecting a combination of those. I think on balance i'll be going with a nice bold blue, with black accents & a yellow stripe - a nod to my Renault engine supplier. There's also one other element of realism concern i can't seem to shake - and that is, am i owning the team or driving for the team? I understand the point of this game mode is that you are both, but come on...it's a little childish isn't it? Maybe it's just me, but that doesn't sit comfortably in my mind. Like i said in my comment a couple of weeks ago on this forum, the prospect of me - Wilson, driving for my own team - Wilson F1, is not something i want to see, it's just too far-fetched. It's like Lawrence Stroll jumping in the Racing Point car himself, it's just too silly. So with regards to this i can go down 1 of 2 roads - Either i pretend my dad (or other family member) is the owner, and i am indeed the driver. OR - I'm the team owner, and i actually drive under another name, literally pretending i'm someone else - actually i saw a comment here of someone that said it will be as if their son is driving - not a bad idea. i don't have any children yet but, i have a 10 year old nephew, maybe he's the one who gets the imaginary seat. Decisions, decisions. I've even thought of driving under the name of a real upcoming driver - maybe an F3 driver (so their not actually in the game) So it's as if i own the team, and have employed 2 up and coming drivers (although one of them i control) if you understand. Anyway in conclusion, amidst all my complaining and considering i would like to add, this is a massive step forward for the F1 game series, i simply cannot wait. This feature is something we could have merely dreamed of a few years ago, so i'm massively grateful that this is becoming a reality. Maybe in a few years we'll get to design our own liveries & badges, and at that point realistically re-create, or add a big name or brand to the grid, but at this stage it's just a reach too far for me with the limited customization options we'll get this year. Evip-Renault F1 it is then, for now. Peace guys!
