    Its a known issue that if you simulate or fast forward in qualifying then the AI will post faster times then normal. During qualifying do not fast forward, make sure you drive out (do not click straight to fast lap) and when completed your lap drive yourself back to garage (do not go in pause menu to return to garage). The only time I fast forward is when there are no cars on track.

    What i think they should have done is this.

    The lower the team at the beginning of the game them the bigger the R&D tree.

    This will mean that theoretically, when all teams are maxed out with nothing else to purchase, then performance should be the same.

    This will mean any team could get to the top first or fall to the bottom with R&D resets at end of season and changes of regulations. 

    So the bigger teams don't pull away, then the lower upgrades for the smaller teams are cheaper so they can catch up to the midfield and the top upgrades are expensive. 

    Hope that makes sense, does in my head haha.

    Issue is resolved for me. Now hopefully they will work on getting rid of the dreadful halo. I love authenticity but the option to turn this off in cockpit or the over the cockpit view would make a massive difference 

    You can turn it off in the graphic settings I believe, only in cockpit view though and not any others.

     

    Edit: actually it might be in camera settings, but it does exist as I've turned it off previously.

    In F1 2020 Championship Mode Lewis Hamilton is better then Vallteri Bottas, because there are no stupid stats like in Career Mode. 

    Thought so! I wanted to start a career with Red Bull and have a championship battle with Hamilton. Few races in and its Bottas leading the way! Ridiculous. Think ill start again with the F1 2020 championship mode instead.

    Bottas is better then Hamilton in the game if you play My Team Career Mode or Driver Career Mode. Hamilton is only better in Grand Prix Mode, because there are no stupid stats like in Career Modes ... F1 2020 and F2 2020 is a complete Joke if we are looking Realistic Drivers Performance 🙂 If you want Realistic Drivers Performance, you must to play F1 2018 or F1 2019 ... They messed up the game F1 2020 with those stats and that is the reason why F1 2020 is so random in performance of A.I. 

    F1 2020 is in all way better then F1 2019, but those unrealistic Drivers Performance just killed the game ...

    The problem is that the CODEMASTERS is trying to make ultra realistic game with stats and everything, but in the same time they are making ultra unrealistic game because of those stats. 🙂 If the program must to calculate more and more stats, then it is harder to make balance. That is the reason why F1 2018 and F1 2019 has more realistic ranking, because there are more easier for program to make Realistic Performance of Drivers. That is the reason why Moto GP and WRC games has more realistic Drivers performance. 

    So yes ... Sometimes is better to have less stats, because the results can look like F1 2020 🙂 The World Champion of Formula 2 Mick Schumacher is 17th best A.I. in the game F2 2020 and 7x World Champion Lewis Hamilton is slower then Bottas ...

    What is it like on the F1 2020 Championship mode? So not my team or driver career but the other championship mode. If I remember rightly there are no stats on there as you drive as a real life driver and there's no development or driver transfers.

    This is exactly what I did and then I didn’t make any upgrades until Williams passed me on the R&D graph. I’ve also intentionally upgraded at a pace behind Williams my entire first season so to make my first year as challenging as possible by being last on the R&D graph. I’m planning on sticking behind the 3rd slowest team in year two and give myself 3-4 seasons of slow paced R&D upgrades to make it more fun and somewhat more realistic. 
     

     

    I do the same, even if I have loads of R&D points I only spend a small amount just to keep at the level I want to be at and slowly improve. No point just flying to front of grid otherwise I might as well have started a game with Mercedes.

    You can be the slowest, its to do with the way you answer the interview questions at the beginning. On each of you answers just give the generic or R&D answer and say williams see your closest rival. 

    If you answer saying your chassis is looking good then it will be better at beginning of game. 

     

    Hope that makes sense, it is possible to start as the worse.

    Jeff should come on radio mentioning a change of strategy and you either accept or decline. But yif you cycle through the MFD you get to a page which has the tyres that will be fitted on the next stop, then you can manually choose which tyres you want fitted.

    If Jeff doesn't come on radio it will probably be because the 25 plus seconds lost during pit stops wont be made up by changing from slicks to wets or inters especially in the very late stages of race.

    Yeah i pretty do real in and out laps (which also gives you 1/2% less usage on tyres if done properly) and only fast forward when no ones on a flying lap.  I always try to be on a run at the end of sessions too to avoid everything being simulated at the very end.  Bit annoying but the sim times aren't accurate enough compared to them running the session normally. 

    Same here! Also when doing a real out lap you can try and time your run to not hit traffic or try and get a tow on a long straight . The amount of times I pressed flying lap and it put me in traffic is ridiculous so I don't bother anymore with that.

    I have the settings full qualifying.

    But I only take one lap per session. Mostly I fast forward till the Ai has done it's first try. Then ewhen they all go back to pit, I go straight to flying lap. Do one take and then right back to pit. I wait till the AI finished it's first shot. Then got directly to flying lap. One shot and then directly back to pit. I fast forward to the end of the session or let it run out depending on time left.

    In the wet, I take a lot more fuel with me and drive the whole session to improve my time. Maybe get dry tyres if it makes sense. If it is dry and rain is supposed to come, I go out right as well.

    Just remember when using fast forward or the return to garage button in pause menu that the AI will qualify faster then they would have done otherwise as the game is guessing there time as opposed to then actually setting a time. I only fast forward when AI are on out laps or in laps, if any on fast lap I dont fast forward (you can tell this form one of the screens when you are on pits).

    Thats started happening with me I've noticed recently. I play on 50% race with full qualifying. I play on ps4 so not modded. Loads of drivers only seem to do 1 fast lap so those going out a second time are posting faster times so driver like Kimi in Alfa are getting q3 on a more regular basis and Sainz is going out alot more in q3. Seems to skew the qualifying results a little bit i think.

    Update now live.

    First thing I've noticed is the audio name I use has been deleted. The game no longer has the name "Ashley" to choose for in game audio. I don't know if this is the same for any other audio names. Very small issue I know, just first thing that I noticed. 

    Vehicle liveries look good though!

    They need to intergrate F2 properly within the game. 

    Barry has said its by design that after your f2 season you still get the choice of all f1 teams as they didn't want to limit the choice. I think the f2 season should limit what your choices are in some kind of way. But the introduction of f3 properly would be great

    What damage do you set yours on? Are you on simulation?

    I normally play sim damage but flashbacks on and I do use them for things like major damage or retirement. I'm thinking about turning it off though for the new season I am about to start, maybe just use the mid session save function as my car enters the pits.

    Kind of whats already been mentioned, but I do my P1 P2 and P3 sessions on a base difficulty (92 for me) so I'm used to driving on that specific track.

    I then go on to GP mode and use one shot qualifying as Bottas. I then compare my time to hamilton and adjust difficulty as appropriate and try again until its a very close time, might take 2/3 goes.

    Then when go back on to career mode I use that difficultly for that track for qualy and race. Usually works for me and don't remember having many problems with it 

    I dont adjust my difficulty using my career performance as the cars for all teams wear down at different rates and also my second driver isn't that good at the moment.

    I've had some quite good incidents happen in my races. One great one is Vettel ujdersteering at Bahrain and going straight in to Hamilton. Both had damage with vettel on the wall but not dnf, caused a safety car in lap 1! Now that's what I'm talking about, so good.

    Its hard to compare track to track if you are on My Team or driver career as the cars degrade track to track with different components wearing at different rates and components being changed by different drivers and different times.

    You would have to go on grand prix mode every single time, do one shot qualifying a few times to see if you are in the right area for AI difficultly. 

    I also find they race worse then they qualify so I need to up the AI level about 5 points when going in to the race.

    Can you change all the settings? You have ability to change Front DF still in Parc Ferme (plus something else I can't recall at mo). 

    I'm able to change from my customer setup to the 5 default setups that are there (although that might just be changing front wing level). When I'm next on i'll see what settings I can change on my custom setup, if its everything I'll report, could just be wing though.
