    Should i need to post a video in this topic?

    The reason we need this (and a completed bug report btw) is so we can see your issue in full and notice if there is any differences from our intended design.

    You could maybe make the wait useful by trying to find a bug in F1 2019 that nobody has found before then tell Codies about it. If you DID find something new it would probably help with your beta application!

    DISCLAIMER!! I I'm not Codies staff so that is only conjecture sorry! 🤣😎

    @sloppysmusic may not be Codies staff, but he’s right here. Proof of correct use of the forums and unique bug reporting, in the correct format, is the first thing I’ll take into consideration when deciding between similar applicants. 
     

    And I AM Codies staff, so hold me to it all you like 😜

    Now that transfers are allowed, I imagine it should be possible to play career mode as an existing driver as well. It would be great to take your favorite driver and either improve the car to contend for the title, or take them to another team and make them champion. You could potentially even take an F2 driver like Schumacher into F1.

    Adding to that, you could be able to pick the driver and team separately for other game modes as well and do a quick GP with Lando in a Ferrari if you feel like it, or any other combination.

    @BarryBL Hoping this is already possible, if not this might be a good suggestion for the team to add. 

    Thoughts? 

    Hi @Worntoathread,

    Although driver transfers in game that are dictated to a player can happen, being able to move drivers at a players discretion would pose a large licensing issue in real-life I'm afraid.

    Why? Because there's a notification "overtake" on the wheel? Says to me no more than what mode it's in. I have that already on my Simhub dash so nothing new. There's no indication what's changed.

    @AlexTT, I did say a 'limited indication'.

    More details will follow in the build up to the game. There's no indication what's changed because we haven't disclosed it.........................yet 😛

    @BarryBL, i got 5 questions to Codemasters:

     

    1.) Was Turn 9 of Spain taken flatout in this video, at around a speed of 260+kmh, as in real life? (In reality, every single team, even Williams, was able to take Turn 3 and Turn 9 flatout during the Winter Testing of 2020, whilst Turn 9 was taken at speeds around of 256kmh - 271kmh)

     

    2.) Are the cars now grippy and aerodynamiclly strong enough, to take fast corners in a stable manner? (In reality, all teams were planted in the fast corners, to the point that it looked completely effortless)

     

    3.) Was this the Renault Engine Sound Bundle of the 2020 game? (I really like the new TV Audio Option with the split audio channels, 1 for the standard engine sound and 1 for the exhaust)

     

    4.) I did not see Estrella Galicia on the McLaren. Will it be included on the livery anytime soon? (Singha, a beer company, has been in F1 2019 on the Alfa Romeo. So why is Estrella Galicia not in the game?)

     

    5.) Will you add the Fuel Mix, Brake Bias and Differential to the ingame steering wheel screen anytime soon? (This would improve Cockpit Driving by a huge amount and would give players a more realistic and immersive experience, especially if we also get the option to fully turn off the MFD)

     

    Hi @TheEmpireWasRight,

    At the moment, I can't disclose any extra information on F1 2020 outside of the teaser.

    But that's not the answer I'm referring to or requesting. Like I said, the wait goes on...

    Edit:

    I would also say that BarryBL's answer was not really an answer to the original question posed, more a set of circumstances that played into codemasters favour. Rather fortune!

    "

    Maybe not related to this thread/post but the handling, setup model, tyre model, ffb, game physics, sim vs arcade is quite a hot topic on the forum.

    "Improving" is a subjective and imprecise answer. Perhaps you could elucidate. Even better, to shut the arguments down, you could detail exactly what the game does and does not simulate.

    Many folk on the forum would appreciate some official communication on this matter."

    Hi @ChasteWand,

    I think a 'wall of silence' is rather a dramatic way to look at this in my opinion.

    The issues I run into with your questions are in the bold quote above. As everything with 2020 at this moment in time, and for wide-ranged legal and announcement reasons, I cannot disclose legally anything outside of the official statements and media provided from Codemasters regarding the 2020 game.

    To be honest, there is nothing more than that right now. Once information is made available for disclosure, I'll disclose it.

    How are successful  applicants chosen, is it a random process or are there more factors in play?

    Hi @THEHAMZAGAMER12,

    In the interest of fairness for all, I wouldn't feel comfortable disclosing this information. 

    We've had a LOT of applicants for this years BETA, and I'd personally prefer to keep decision making with the Codemasters team, as some difficult decisions may have to be made with only so much space available.

    This game is so embarrassing that it can madden people. Not being able to play a race just for fun is both upsetting and disappointing. Developers, please make this game playable. You can not develop this game in any subject by painting the eyes of people by showing glorious features every year. Please fix this damn game, so people don't be aggrieved. As a player, I want a game with good dynamics and internet connectivity, not bad improvements like career mode or "look we added my team features bla bla...".
     

    @Saruman and I have spoken in PM's, and we think we have a solution that we can work on.
