The best solution to this right now is to deliberately reduce the rating by entering and leaving races and then eventually enter races disguised as a lower abilty driver and essentially walk over the field. Which lets face it, helps no one.

@Faya Its rare i complain about this game but this really is an issue that needs to be addressed. Currently there are 3 gold rated drivers attempting to find a lobby right now. All are roughly similar licence. Everyone is continually put into an empty lobby circling around and around trying to find a lobby to race in. This problem should not exist. Just put drivers in the highest available lobby regardless of what it is. It is absolutely ridiculous that you get placed into a situation where you cannot race online. Whats more, why is it you continually check for races and end up in an empty lobby time and time again and suddenly a lobby on lap 4 pops up? Where was this race in the last 10 or minutes of trying? As it stands it's like congratulations for achieving higher levels. We are now taking part of your access to a game away.

It really would be handy when the patch notes are released if instead of a one liner a more detailed description is given. For example safety rating adjustment made. How? What? Why? Fanatec support? Support of what? I notice all games companies more often than not only seem to provide one liners in patch notes. You would assume it would be good for reputation to provide detailed responses so there isn't any false assumptions made by the community that lead to forum complaints that prospective buyers end up reading.

Feedback for codemasters. Multiplayer froze in the first 2 races. Both while exiting the game. Just stuck loading trying to get back to the lobby.

Strategy variance. The feeling of a bit more realism.

With respect. I'm not sure a lot of people who follow F1 would be expected to know how the tyres come out of a mold. Doesn't make them any less of a fan. Thats like expecting a football fan to know how the leather on the players football boots are made. Or expecting someone in the software industry to know how to run a competent test..

Right. But there's nothing to say a preset set up hasn't been input for the AI. Not that we are aware of anyway.

Every car has a set up.

With respect, there are a lot of sounds the cars make especially off throttle that barely get picked up on the TV coverage. Its the same for all motorsport. Even the BTCC sounds completely different than TV because TV Producers have to reduce certain sounds to be able to hear other things like for example the commentator. The cars in the BTCC based on the TV coverage you would think were quiet but there not. My point is, the loud off throttle noises an F1 car makes you would be able to hear. But people here are only concerned about the engine sound because thats what they think it sounds like.

The ironic thing is for all those people calling for the cars to sound the same as they hear on TV, the cars do not sound remotely like that in real life if you attend a Grand Prix. Essentially all your doing is swapping one incorrect sound for another.

To summarise your long winded response, i was merely wondering if that was a factor. I for one have no idea whether they are overpowered or not. The only thing i can say for certain is overall, people do not spend as much time practicing in the wet on the game as they do in the dry nor do they spend as much time putting together wet weather set ups. Whether that is a factor though we dont know.

See here is my concern and your description is a good example so I'm not generalising this at you. None of your comment suggests making any set up changes to make the car suitable for wet weather driving. I'm not entirely convinced that people are comparing eggs with eggs. Could it be that the AI build a wet weather set up where as many users don't?

Posting that picture of a degree just feels a whole lot more awkward....

I suppose a fairly easy thing to implement for cockpit view is the option for tear offs with the visor progressively becoming dirty over time.

Always do the outlap yourself rather than flying lap to get more heat in the tyres. Always make sure the track is rubbered in too.
