    Matching assist and no assist players in Ranked is ridiculous, especially in rain and 25% races. 

    Tuning is flat out broken (leaderboard cars have the exact same camber and toe on every single track from Monaco to Monza).

    Exterior cams being in Assists has been requested since the beginning, yet people driving from the cockpit are still forced to compete with people sitting on top of the car with exponentially better visibility.

    Still no option for a virtual Mirror, incredible considering you can't see the mirrors in cockpit through 80% of the adjustable FOV range.

    Those are very, very basic and fundamental things that need to be fixed in any modern "offical" racing game. Especially one that promotes to a sim/simcade crowd with wheels. 

    Still not a single laser or even drone scanned track.  The Dirt Rally 2.0 team's courses are every bit as accurate as the F1 team's circuits.  Anyone that knows how long those courses are should be shocked by that.

    All of these things have been asked for repeatedly.

    I’m starting to get the impression you’re not a fan of exterior cams... not quite sure though do you think you mention it a few more times in unrelated threads and topics just so we’re sure?😂

    lol Sloppy asked what was wrong with the league/game.  I dont care if cams are on the moon.  There are just several fundamental flaws that they dont fix, yet they do continue to release $$$ holiday paint jobs, helmets, gloves, and race suits.

    @DaleRossi? I know you've just switched games and leagues but your F1 league was ok wasn't it? It was just the game itself especially the ai you objected to? 

    Overall, it was great. No way to lock exterior cams is an incredible decision by Codemasters, though.  The only thing more inexcusable than that would be neglecting to put tires on the cars.lol

    I haven't played F1 in a almost 2 months because Codies has zero interest in fixing anything.  It was my first F1 since 2013 and it will be my last for a long time unless they fix fundamentals flaws. Same toe/camber dominates every track, doesnt matter if it is Monaco or Monza. Lobbies mixing assist with no assist players and that goes doubly for Ranked, beyond broken AI in the weekly challenges, no way to force cockpit cam, etc.

    Getting brake checked by the AI in the Weekly was the last race of any sort in F1. Back to PCars.

    Brake checked going into a DRS zone:

    I will Give you $20 to take it. It should be great, but has so many fundamentally bad things that it's ridiculous. Save your money and get PCars 2 with all the DLC. They actually have laser scanned tracks and put some effort into physics.

    The "Offical F1" game doesnt have a single laser scanned track. Not one. That has been standard since Xbox 360 on consoles.

    The same tuning camber and toe settings set the fastest times on all tracks. Doesnt matter if it is Monaco or Monza. That should NEVER happen.

    If you're just a casual gamer, maybe it is worth 10. If you want any semblance of realism in racing, it is incredibly bad.

    Actually, Codies did a great job with Dirt Rally 2.0. It has it's issues, but it is very very good.

    Did you just switch to a wheel from the D-Pad? if you did, then it takes time to transfer speed from d-pad to wheel. Again, this is all mind-muscle stuff that you need to give patience to for speed to build. I've always heard that the wheel is faster. Anyways, I'm a controller player. 

    Pads have built-in traction assist.  People in many leagues switched back to pad just to keep up.  

    I use a wheel and cockpit because I enjoy sim racing. If I cared more about winning at any cost, absolutely I would be on a pad and using TCam.

    Alot if reviews for wheels when I was searching were saying wheels would be faster but they will always be aliens out there that are slower.

    Another thing with the pad is when I get a new F1 game with a pad you pretty much pick it back up again within an hour and difficulty wise no change. Wheel much bigger learning curve and I always though the wheelers were whiners.

    Now Id hate as a non assist cockpit only wheel guy that a pad player was kicking my ass due to tcam pad and assists 😂

    I have occasionally used auto gears even though I am slower just because I can concentrate a little more but I would this fair since Im losing 4 tenths a lap.

    Bingo.  Add the pad and TCam and no other assist, that's an insane advantage. Over a 5 laps race, it is big. Over longer races, it grows exponentially.

    They mix No Assist players with Assist players in Ranked. That's an absolute joke. Both have similar speed, but the huge advantage is the unlikely case of someone using assists making a race-ending mistake.  

    The entire crew of decision makers in this game need to go to Grid.  F1 deserves people that know what they hell they are doing

    They've given the finger to sim drivers every step of the way.  

    Those using a wheel and cockpit are at 2 massive disadvantages right off the bat. No option to force cockpit view, like every other sim (even on console) is absolutely incredible.  

    Dirt 2.0 is very good.  This is the first F1 I've owned since 2013 or so and it will be my last unless they fix fundamental flaws.  

    GUARANTEED none of them will be fixed in coming months. There will be a couple trivial changes and then $$$ Thanksgiving and Christmas car paint, suits, and gloves.

    Finally Finland,

    it has to be the best rally ever ,with huge jumps and amazing graphics,

    credit to codemasters,this is the sort of stuff we know that you can produce,

    dirt rally gets better each month,

    cast your minds back on dayone release of f12019, didn't that look amazing with beautiful ffb, so what's been done to f12019 to now make it look dull,

    then we go to grid no content evening fewer cars, only beautiful track is brand hatch in the rain with the gte cars,

    i just don't get codemasters,. In Finland dirt rally 2.0 it brilliant,

    do you turn games back like f12019 so they look a pale version of themselves,, 

    i said many many times I don't mind paying for good quality games , I would gladly pay extra like I have done,

    i am confused codemasters,everyone knows you can produce outstanding games ,

    so charge accordingly please 

    ( keep up the excellent work with dirt rally 2.0 and please dear god don't I repeat don't change or alter (FFB ) )

    last time I said that the next patch for f12019 made ffb really bad or buggy lol

    Agree 100%.

    Dirt Rally is very very good. F1 has potential, but there are just some embarrassingly poor decisions made for it that kill it.  Imagine that Dirt has an option to lock out exterior cams, but F1 does not. So you have sim racers competing against people sitting on top of the car so they can see better. 

    The Dirt crew is active with the community here. F1 is a ghost town. The game has serious problems and all we get are new skins available for purchase, even the Legends owners have to pay $3 if they just want the new car paint. Helmet, gloves, and suits all sold separately.

    Aside from the mess that typically comes with DLC being released on Xbox and a few soung bugs, Dirt is phenominal.

    I tried and tried today, but all I was able to do was huge crashes. 

    That is annoying af because I know i'm fast. I just couldn't find the right mindset for driving fast and clean today. Sure I was fast, but more often I ended up deeeeeep in the forest rather than on the finish line. And it's really difficult to slow down to just make sure I get to finish. It's lot easier to push little bit harder than slow down. :classic_wacko::classic_wacko:

    The setup is maybe more important in Finland than anywhere else. Still working on it and probably will be for a long while.lol

    WHOA!, that looks like hard work.

    I take that corner (bump) as you suggested earlier Dale, ...all the way to the right, and short-shift.  Works for me 🙂

    Now you tell me.lol 100% race with rain and finished 3rd in our league. That info would have been helpful. Lmao :cheers:
