@BarryBL Any info when this option will be added back in, its highly useful

This has been requested also the abilty to se the cars to equal and as well as letting us use any car in time trial to set a fast lap (as usual the Merc is the fastest so have to use that) These have all been requested for the past 3 years now

This. Its dull as dishwater in real life the racing and we've got the same performance for yet another season as its locked (what a silly idea) Mercedes could have at least given Hamilton a decent team mate so we could have an actual title fight. Ive never understood the people that try to justify watching the races by saying yeah we all know who is going to win but oh the midfield battles are good, that's like watching a football match knowing who is going to win and saying you enjoy watching the players who don't have the ball and have no bearing on the match

Yep no pitstops also can't even drive out in practice from the pitlane you are dropped onto track. Has weather cycle but the tyres 'magically' change for you. Looking at the graphics of the gameplay video of PC3 in an indycar at Laguna Seca the graphics seem the same just they've splattered the place with PC3 logos plus they cleverly removed the really ugly HUD/UI from the video too

On the topic of PC2, what do you think about the looming disaster that is PC3?

I know Hanoi is a controversial track for a lot of people. But one thing about it is that it looks rather sterile but I think if the option was added to change time of day to 'night' like they added to Monaco would make Hanoi a lot more interesting and add a new dynamic

I would gladly pay for Hockehiem and Sepang as they would be both usable in F1 2020 as Hockehiem was in F1 2019 and Sepang was in F1 2017, so they are both usable with the current game engine and could be slotted in.

I am having the exact same issue as this user, I have quoted their bug report as it would be identical to my bug report even same screenshot

Platform: Xbox One X Game Version: V1.05 Accessories used: Thrustmaster TS XW, Gamepad Game Mode: Theatre replay / Photo Mode Issue: When viewing replays and taking photos with the photo mode they are made less like a replay or tv coverage because in the top left corner it frequently says "communicating with online services" it means when you take screenshots the look ugly What you tried to resolve: Restarted game multiples times, checked internet connecting which is ultra fast fibre so its fine. Here is an example of a photo it ruins it with that message in top left corner

It's difficult as the game does not have a proper race replay feature only highlights. I have this clip from highlight, the VSC has just came out I am the Ferrari and I slow down to match the VSC delta, the Mercedes is not paying attention he hit the left rear of me and I get "5 second penalty for Collision" (side note in replay mode, replays look less professional for sharing as it keeps coming up "communication with online services in the top left corner throughout the replay" I have left bug report about this also) VSC_HIT.mov

In reduced damaged mode for example they can get away with it if its a head on nose to rear collison. Or they just do it and leave the race. Its not just the exploit itself its the issue if someone does it in error for example you brake or slow in front of them to match the pack and they are not paying attention they hit the back of you and you get penalised

Platform: Xbox One X Game Version: V1.05 Accessories used: Thrustmaster TS XW, Gamepad Game Mode: Online Multiplayer Unranked Issue: When under VSC or Safety car, players will hit the back of your car to give you a 5 second penalty. When following the safety car or VSC speed you have to avoid other cars and drive slower and if someone hits the back of you, you get a 5 second penalty. It has now become the case as well that players will deliberately hit the car in front to give that player a penalty, I was in a race today where I was repeatedly hit 3 times from behind which gave me 15 seconds worth of penalties! I even heard on the game chat players discussing this 'tactic' by saying "remember to hit the car in front when they brake to keep their place in pack to give them a penalty under safety car" What you tried to resolve: Keeping out of the way even accelerating when car was near but its hard cannot avoid it. @BarryBL Can you get the team to look into this penalty issue as it is being exploited in almost every race online now. I believe it is to do with the game detecting a type of 'brake check' as you obviously have to brake and drive slow to avoid cars weaving under safety car and to keep your place in the erratic pack. But I think it needs disabled under VSC/Safety Car as it is being exploited and also just ruining peoples races.

You get a "communicating with online services" constantly flashing in the top left corner of your replays in theatre mode now too, so when you record them to show people it looks unprofessional and ugly as it always catches your eye once it appears and starts spinning. Kinda always looks like the game is broken in replay with it doing that

Platform: Xbox One X Game Version: V1.05 Accessories used: Thrustmaster TS XW, Gamepad Game Mode: Theatre replay Issue: When viewing replays they are made less like a replay or tv coverage because in the top left corner it frequently says "communicating with online services" it means when you record your replays to show they look ugly with this flashing up in the top corner, it will do it about 4-5 times at least a replay. What you tried to resolve: Restarted game multiples times, checked internet connecting which is ultra fast fibre so its fine.

In online races you get a 5 second penalty for cars hitting you in the rear, especially for example when following the safety car its ridiculous this needs fixed. It seems to be worse in F1 2020 almost every hit from behind results in a penalty Another exploit people are doing is that under the safety car they jump you and then block you and force you to back off which means they gain the position ahead without penalty!
