    So that means i can choose for example when i use the 1st one which is on the front,side and rear wing,that i could do 3 different sponsors now?

    Yes. 3 different sponsors, even in different colours. Just note the different number of sponsors overall stays the same

    Would make no sense,i am just downloading it,sounds like you have more spots to put the sponsors on it

    Just translated from english to german official patchnotes and it says what is meant,11 slots to put your sponsor on it,so we shouöd be able to have a bigger choice of spots 

    We had 11 spots before for sponsors, just crammed into 5 spaces we controlled. Now we control all 11 spots. Very handy if previously option 1 controlled 2 different spots and our sponsor decal colour worked for one spot but not the other due to the livery

    Playing game. Why is the audio so low? Worse than other games. Other games are ps4 disk. F1 2020 is ps4 digital download. It sounds like ****. F1 2019 and f1 2018 are fine

    I noticed this and it’s because the master volume by default is only on 6 out of 10

    I’ll throw in a name that’s worthy and hasn’t been mentioned...

    Martin Brundle

    Never was in the right car at the right time. Was Schumacher’s teammate at Benetton in 1992 scoring 38 points and 5 podiums to Michael’s 53 points and 8 podiums (I hope I have the numbers right)....solid effort.

    Never won a Grand Prix but I’ve felt in the right car, he would have been a worthy champion, let alone race winner.

    Can we get the Manx flag (The Isle Of Man) please??

    Why not use the British flag?. I thought the Manx was a part of the United Kingdom and not a sovereign state that’s a member of the United Nations in its own right

    When you think of the F1 game series, what is the first problem that comes to your mind? If you could fix a single problem in the game, what would it be?

    For me, the problem that bothers me most about the F1 series is that multiplayer players don't accept being overtakes. It doesn't matter if I play in Ranked or Unranked, the players' behavior is the same: they don't like to be overtaken. Some throw the car over mine, and I miss the race. This is quite frustrating. And honestly, I don't know how to fix this, because it depends on the players' behavior and mentality, not the system.

    The unbalanced AI and simulated times

    That's an interesting idea, I always believed you should be rewarded for the distance you drove in the game and this would especially help players who ran short races. 1 lap extra after a 17 lap race is approx 5% bonus distance. You could also have a trophy for completing a cool down lap in every race in a full season (meaning you obviously also have to complete every race!). Kooldown King! Problem here is that of course the race is over if you're not one of the front runners and if you're several laps behind it's kind of depressing to continue!

    I just can't see why it can't be an OPTION as it's done in real life, but do it realistically. How cool would it be if say top 3 podium finishers were required to run a cool down and then park the car in park ferme behind your victory signs. Game would probably drive your car for you at the end but it would be a nice finish instead of just fast forwarding to the podium. Great place for an 'interview' too. Get out of your car accuse the winner of cheating then storm on up to the pre-podium room. 

    Would you like to enable cooldown lap?

    YES/NO

    😄

    Yes, I’d have it as an option and you put a very good idea of driving the cool down lap as a top 3 finisher, driving to your car to park ferme to your sign. Then have cutscenes in first person view of the cool down room and I’d even have the podium in first person view too (why not have a longer podium sequence with national anthems?.... skippable for those who are impatient of course).

    Good little ideas for that extra gloss and immersion

    Yes but there needs to be a purpose to it. I’d love to have it in anyway for pure immersion but have it so that if you pick up X amount of rubber, you get X amount of resource points... just an idea. 
     

    tbh a lot of things can be added for immersion like after each practice/qualifying session, the session still runs until all cars cross the line..:. Races as well tbh. I don’t trust the simulated times after a sessions ends and a session should only simulate if the player requests it. Even if a player crashes out of a race in career mode, the player should still be able to spectate if they wish.

    Hi guys,

    I have gotten pretty used to the controller. I can do Elite assists with Medium AI.

    However, starting with a wheel I feel I am starting the game all over again from square one.

    Do you recommend going back to beginner assists, or persisting with elite?

    Beginner assists I am still five seconds down on my first run.

    Elite it is over ten seconds and invalidating laps but it does feel better.

    I’d persist and practice a lot on Elite. I made the transition from pad to wheel in 2012 and started to play a lot of rFactor with the 1994 F1 mod using Senna’s Williams at Imola and my early lap times were not impressive, like 1:35. After much practice and persistence with a wheel, I started to lap within a couple of tenths of Senna’s Pole time. Eventually you’ll get the feel of it, all it is is transferring some skills from your hands to your feet, very much like when drummer Rick Allen lost an arm in a car accident in 1984, he started using foot pedals to use with his left foot. He practiced for 8 hours a day and made him a better drummer and the first album he made afterwards sold 25 million copies, it’s called “Hysteria” by Def Leppard.

    Good point.

    Maybe with the PS5 having an upgraded VR headset, the first F1 should be VR compatible and eSports should use it and restrict players to cockpit view as well as no assists and many HUD components disabled (ie proximity arrows, track map)

    TCAM! Biggest joke on esports.

    when you point out the realistic issue. Would be funny to see hamilton and co sitting on their halo's in real life though.

    T Cams should be banned in eSports, it’s a clear assist. Proximity arrows and some other display options should also go.
