    I get what you're saying, but when you left the garage for your qualifying lap, you'll have left the garage with just enough fuel for an out lap, hotlap and then an inlap. Therefore if you're planning to come in in the middle, you'll not have enough fuel to go back out and complete your lap and you are only allowed to refuel in the garage.

     

    With that being said, it would be good if the mechanics got a frigging move on!! Far too casual 😆

    Honestly I don’t think transparency would be a solution. The halo in 2D is just weird and without a 3D view or VR almost impossible to drive. I don’t want to see the car in front of me through a transparent column.

    Personally I disagree, I've seen it done in other games (I think ACC) and it's done really well. It's a middle ground between all or nothing.

    I love the realism of keeping the column on but since I cant look around it I turn it off. Any thought to a transparency slider for the halo column or just a option to have it partially transparent?

    This has been brought up multiple times since F1 2018, unfortunately it's fallen on deaf ears everytime which really is a shame as I'd like this too.

    It's all about spectator engagement. 25% is too short for the viewers and 50% is too long.

    Ultimately this is exactly the reason. Someone earlier asked why not 100%, simple matter is there is not enough audience appetite to watch that length of race. It's highly likely that CM have done their research and balanced this against the need to have a fair/competitive series and 35% is the compromise.

    Engine Power is in the game the different fuel modes, and yes, with the ban, there would be no reason for it to exist in the game.

    As far as I understand, this is correct. Changing fuel flow would still be legal. What is not going to be legal (potentially) are the teams being able to adjust the engine mapping as soon as they enter parc ferme.

    I'd be interested to know if the individual upgrades have their own specific effect, or do they just improve a generic "Chassis" value behind the scenes? With different upgrades having different impacts on this value.

    This has gone off topic but is interesting nonetheless. Pretty committed to the xbox platform so can't see me changing that for additional wheel choices, but might be worth looking into some new TM bits to swap out my G920 ... Not worried about shifter. Looks like most sets are 'normal' wheels with either 2/3 pedals to start with 

    My plan is to run with the G920 for a while then when that breaks, sell a kidney for a fanatec direct drive wheel base, formula rim and elite pedals

    Another thread about this topic 

    With video evidence

    Thanks @TasmanianTiger. Although likely related, I'd argue that this issue doesn't completely match this topic as the OP of that topic stated random stutters and FPS drops.

    The issue I'm having only occurs during the SC. As soon as the safety car ends, everything goes back to normal again.

    I remember having the same problem last year with the SC. As CM are making the same mistakes over the years, maybe you could check if the telemetry UDP is off in the game settings. Maybe it could help.

    Fwiw, UDP telemetry data was turned off.

    What is this issue with pitcoins people are having? I received my pitcoins right away after entering the code and I use an Xbox One. Is this a One X issue? I keep seeing people on here that haven't received their pitcoins and find it odd.

    It's anyone who has made a digital pre-order I believe (that's the case for me anyway).

    Just to clarify, is the Xbox account you use for gaming on the same account that the game was purchased on and/or had the appropriate codes redeemed on?
    Because that is a mistake a lot of people make in regards to the console platforms with these sort of things, they use the codes on a different account, or purchase the game through a different account on their console. These sort of items tend to only show up for a single account, which is why I am asking. Its a detail that will actually help clarify if you are experencing the proper no pitcoin issue, or if it was a mistake made at the user level when initially purchasing the game or redeeming codes.

    Also, you really should be making a post in the tech support part of the forums. Since this is a tech support issue.

    I know that this was directed at OP, but in my instance (and that of hundreds others), yes.

    CM have identified an issue and were working on a fix with MS. Fair enough, but as I said, it's now over 3 weeks since release and 9 days since the last update, I think it's fair to say we're now within our right to be frustrated.

    I've said previously, that I have faith in CM and I understand that there has been a global pandemic affecting every aspect of this release, but this goodwill will only last so long.

    Issue identified, working with MS, will be sorted imminently. Pretty solid info.

    The lack of communication is terrible at this point. The last update was 9 days ago. Regardless of whether they are some fake currency which you can only buy virtual cosmetic items, the point is that they were listed as a pre-order bonus and 3 weeks later we are yet to get them.

    The games biggest new game mode is built around customisation. The majority of customisation options are hidden behind a VIP pay wall and therefore we are unable to access these without parting with additional £.

    Not only that, we cannot access the challenges that fall under the VIP pass therefore we are unable to progress through the free tiers as quickly.

    It's now been over 3 weeks and at this point, I expect some form of recompense.

    Yep like rage said. I believe David Greco has also confirmed somewhere that they are all the Mercedes.

    I read that too. Most likely in the QandA thread.

    Its been over a week since the last update which stated that the issue had been identified and was being worked on as a top priority. I'm sure the issue is probably with Microsoft but the lack of update isn't filling me with much hope that we'll see our coins before I've cleared the 30 levels, halfway through already. I know others have reached that level already.

    I also assume every podium pass reward will unlock at once, rather than stay locked as the pass wasn't active at the time..? 

    Fully agree. You'd surely think that this would have been resolved by now. It's embarrassing for CM. We're essentially being punished by pre-ordering the digital version of the game.

    I don't think it's a bug, but a deliberate design choice. The video sequences are completely different, and music is playing while they are shown, which would interfere with the commentary anyway. I think the Codies simply did away with some of the commentary. And let's face it, the vast majority of it was pretty redundant anyway, so it's not that I'm exactly missing it ...

    Definitely a design choice, and one that I like.

    Hated Hanoi at first, but did the full weekend during my team at 50% and eventually managed to figure out a setup to suit and got into a rhythm. After that it was quite fun and the race was a blast, even if AI Grosjean squeezed me into the wall in the DRS zone heading towards the hair pin ruining my front wing.

    As a circuit it does lack character due to all the concrete and fencing, but I prefer it over Singapore.

    I've just had this too. Absolutely horrible to drive with. @Thomas202 Nothing will be done without a bug report so please complete one too.

    1.       A detailed description of the issue. Please include any error codes here. 

    - Driving in My Team, Race 4 in China. Lap 14 of 50% race and a safety car was triggered. As soon as the safety car was triggered, the frame rate drops and stutters horribly making it really difficult to drive. I had to pause for a couple of minutes to rest my eyes.

    2.       Platform

    - Xbox One X. (4k HDR TV as this may be relevant)

    3.       What version of the game you are using (Shown on the start screen in the bottom left corner of the screen) 

    -1.06
    4.       Game-mode? 

    - My Team
    5.       What are your replication numbers? Minimum test attempts are 4. Please also add EXACT replication steps for us to try too. 

    - issue occurred on subsequent safety cars in Zandvort and Spain although did not appear as severe as China


    6.       What troubleshooting have you attempted? Please always try to attempt to fix the issue 

    - created a mid session save while the SC was out. Quit the game and relaunched my team mode and resumed from the save. Frame rate issue persists. Issue solved itself when SC ended.


    7.       What peripherals are you are using (gamepad, wheel make & model etc) 

    - Logitech G920


    8.       Any screenshots or video of the issue? If the video is long, please include a timestamp for when the issue appears. 

    - Did take a capture but it's not obvious, likely because capture taken in 1080p. Not sure what frame rate the Xbox uses on captures, possibly 30
