    To @BarryBL

     Point number 2 is that it looks like no one who works for Codemasters is willing to tell us, the people who buy these games, if the things that we, the consumers and players, are saying are broken or need to be looked at, are in fact being looked at.  A little bit of "Well, we can't tell you that" comes across as "You'll just have to buy the game to see if we have!", which is a little bit unfair to us. 

    The only reason this is currently the case @hangar1851 is for much wider-ranging legal and announcement reasons. We currently only have certain amounts of information for a reason, and it is not in my job role to be disclosing new information outside of the current official channels, neither is my intention to. This is pretty common knowledge across the forums, and accepted as normal in the gaming world. 

    Where I cannot make the decision for you, I'd recommend staying tuned for official news, updates and information. As soon as I have any information for the general fan-base, its always posted on here 👍

    Codemasters should focus with all their strenghts to make an Carnage/Destruction Derby Online Mode for F1 2020.. So much idiots and dirtiest players will love that.. That way we Who wants to race clean and making an amazing and enjoyable Races we stay with all the piece and all the entire room available without having others ruining our Races.. Its a interesting point to be thinked because seems that actually Codemasters Don t thinking in anymore else unfortunelly for us 😥😥.. With so many things to be improved like an much more realistic /feeling gameplay for example 

    @CarlosSantos87

    I've found more organised racing like Leagues have, usually, cleaner racing and driving. 


  3. Hi @TheEmpireWasRight,

    This is still a 'Work In Progress' and is still subject to change, as with all aspects of the game. This is more a demonstration of the new circuit.

    However, regarding your request, I'd be curious to see how anyone could get all of that information on a wheel. Some of it yeah sure, but "-Car damage (front wing, rear wing, sidepods, underfloor, engine, turbo, suspension, tyres etc" is not something you would have on the wheel available to a driver.

    Information like this is where the MFD is vital. IRL, drivers wouldn't have access to that information (see number 9 on the video below for Kimi's rather unique way of showing this) but we realise that it would be important for the player, so we have it on the MFD.

    Also, the wheel would have to have a 42 inch monitor to get that in it to show that 😛

    Hello i would like Is it possible to make Hori apex gaming work on f1 2019 PC? When i try to use the wheel the game recognize the wheel as an xbox controller. Although the wheel when i tried it on F1 2016 on ps4 was fine it seems on PC for some reason its not supported. Im mentioning this because on the supported wheels and controllers the wheel is mentioned. 
    Thanks for your time 

    Hi @Iceburger

    Your wheel is not on the supported list. I recommend searching the name of your wheel in the search bar in the top right and see how others have potentially managed to make it work

    Hello my friends, I have a couple of ideas and thoughts I wanted to share with you.

    First, I want to say that unranked lobby racing seems to, indeed, be a more stable experience than league lobbies. Not sure if it's coincidence or the fact that league lobbies are (more) broken, but I think we should stick to unranked lobbies for the rest of our season. 

    I think we put the damage modifier to a higher value (full or simulation, I can't remember) in order to encourage more safe racing. While I don't know what you guys think about this, I think it has not worked out, as I still see a lot of risky driving that too often ends in broken wings (and dreams..). So let's put it back to reduced, maybe it can reduce some frustration.

    Also, I've already mentioned it a couple times, I would like to swap Russia for Suzuka.

    Would it be cool with you guys if we could vote on the mentioned proposals?
    Thanks. 😎

     

    Hi @LSKone,

    Personally, and to save some money at Maranello on front wings, I'd be happy with turning the damage down.

    Russia for Suzuka seems to be popular in the Steam chat, so, even though its my strongest track, done and done. 👍

    sorry codemasters... this is the wrong way... which kind of customers do you want to make happy? babies? little children? customers who like to play F1 in style like need for speed? 

    you still ignore the racing fans... the F1 lovers... the loyal customers who are racing for many seasons and enjoy league racing... 

     

    no improvement on more realistic handling? or on realism itself like the original f1 hud (for strategy important), tyre wear, damage, mechanic failures, etc...?

     

    Codemasters are working for the wrong part of the customers - sorry but when i hear this, i am so disappointed - one more game for racing kids and not for lovers of this genre and realism... i think there could only be one reason for this decicions - money - because when this game is easy as for babies, all the kids will buy it!

    Hi @weisiAUT,

    Again, I think a few conclusions have been jumped to here. 

    We are adding accessibility features into the game, as an option, for new players to get used to the nature of the games that have historically been more difficult titles to pick up and play. We've made no statement on your 3rd sentence as we are still in the early announcement stages for 2020, with more in-depth details to follow as we get closer to release date. 

    I would disagree with your statement on "working for the wrong part of the customers", we are working for a wide range of players to interact with a game. As players get used to a game, naturally, they have to remove assists and help to be quicker, more competitive, and to ultimately get more enjoyment from the sensation of driving the fastest cars on the planet.

    New players have to start somewhere and this is a part of nearly all modern games. Take, for example, Call of Duty: Warzone, that, quite correctly, have extensive training missions with AI, and talk you through what to do to practice and get used to the mode. Then, once you are comfortable, players get harder (human), the map gets bigger and the whole game becomes more unpredictable. If you just stay in the training missions with a low level AI and someone telling you how to win, you seek more challenges. 

    To bring it back, the accessibility features are there to help the newest of players gain confidence in negotiating a circuit, driving near other cars and getting through a race in one piece. Further in-depth details of the game are yet to be announced, and I'd recommend keeping track on the announcement to be up to date on anything new with F1 2020.

  7. If I remember rightly, it took me a few solid attempts to find my outright pace. I think I ran most of Quali on Hards and then, once confident of how far I can attack and push the limits, then went out for my qualifying runs. 

    I've ran a lot at Monaco, but it takes me a while to get into a 'groove' and then my pace usually follows from there.

    Don't worry most of us mortals struggle there.

    Agreed here 110%.

    Monaco is very very tough, from a consistency and outright pace POV.  I'd sat work up to it, take a few laps to get in a rhythm and, for me anyways, try and not give yourself a hard time for a seemingly average-poor lap. Its happens at Monaco. I got a P5 in the Forum League by simply keeping it on the track and keeping my head down, as my pace was not great.

    Offline is a little more difficult, maybe tweak your difficulty as its such a hard track.

    Soooooo....

     

    this means that beeing overtaken over grass will be the new standard online? More idiotic crash actions? 
     

    everything new is difficult to learn, that's there's a thing called LEARNING! 
     

    this is going to make online lobbies even worse then they already are...

    No @AlexTT this will not be the case. I think you're jumping to conclusions a little bit there imo.

    Accessibility options are exactly that...options. These settings are for newer players who have never picked up the titles before. Realistically, these players won't be going near the Online mode as they will have bigger challenges in front of them. (Getting round the circuits, completing a lap, racing near other cars etc)

    Online lobbies in any game are always 'at risk' of differing skills gaps and abilities. For people who enjoy the game, they will want to get better naturally. (I thought I was quick at F1 2019 until @Bicarda and @Flash224 cruise past me in the Forum League, yet my weekly fights with @massa88 for lower points are a highlight of our league IMO). The aim of the assists is to welcome new players who have previously be intimidated by a relatively difficult game to pick up and play and give them help on the first step of the F1 game ladder. Then, once they have built confidence in the game, turning them off slowly will help them become quicker and more competitive.

    Good afternoon,

    A couple of days ago I bought F1 2019 on PC, but the game is unable to connect to online services due to the 1008H error. I have been reading that many people have had the same problem, but I can't find a real solution to it. I have tried almost everything i could,  such as opening the NAT, reinstalling the game or reseting the router but anything hasn't worked yet. I've also read that some versions of the game have no problem on connecting to the online services, but it seems 1.22 (which is mine) is not working either. Is there any solution to it, or should I ask for an Steam refund and stop trying?

    Thanks you in advanced.

    Hi @ManuDR1,

    If it is a 1008:H issue, please add to the correct thread here. Also, if there is issues in 1.22, which we have not seen reported, please add a complete bug report.
