    Hi there, just to UP this topic... I was in Q2 after my 2 laps in P8, I was enjoying watching "live" the last run of my opponents, I reached their T2 more or less, they were all very close and... 0.00 ... END SESSION :classic_sad:

    My final position just P15 at +0,145 s. from P10 and +0,672 from P1, very close session!
    I think the simulated T3 were good (and I also checked T1-T2 were correct), that's not the point, I would just like to end watching the session!

    Thank you CM for considering it for the future :classic_smile:

    Kind regards,

    This is absolutely the most unrealistic thing I have EVER Heard. Not trying to be mean but that is absolutely ridiculous. Take the time to memorize where each setting is so all you need to remember is how many clicks or button presses to get to the setting you need. We as well as F1 Drivers have voice command which is as real as it gets, anything other than that is quality of life for the game. Adding a pause menu in race settings screen would absolutely ruin the experience for anyone who takes this game seriously. Add a shortcut on your wheel for the pit screen, there are only what 4 settings in that screen and memorize which ones you might need to change. Get rid of one of your shortcuts or keybinds and bind the voice command option, everything you need can be done through voice command including changing tyre type, when to pit etc. You need voice command either way in case of strategy changes mid race!

    I respect your opinion but personally I cannot use voice commands.

    I have already memorized the path, in any case I need to watch the steering wheel because the most comfortable buttons are in use for the most used features, plus it has nothing realistic about it.

    Any functionality in pause menu, clearly only Single Player, would simulate the voice radio itself; as last it does not detract from those who think like you, while it gives something to those who think like me.

    With regard

    Hi CM,

    is it possible to enable mixed race strategy? Look at the picture below, the track was expected to dry out during the race and I would have appreciate to study a "mixed" strategy directly inside the box before the race, by simulating the 3 dry compounds in the second part of the race, while it's possible to choose only wet compounds there.

    Obviously one would need a kind of "bar" to move which would indicate when exactly the track gets dry. This shouldn't be a "sure" method, but it would help because today I couldn't even get an idea of the duration of the 3 dry compounds, I'm not even talking about the performance!

    In fact in the race I probably used the wrong strategy: pit stop (dry track) already in lap 10, I tried with (H) hoping to reach the end of the race. I could have done but it wasn't the best strategy and I changed for (S) at lap 40 but my game was already over.

    I confirm, I'm in Baku Driveer Career with 1.13 and it's still happening :classic_sad:

    Q2 --> Albon out in P11 being P7 after the first time attack, Leclerc safe for a miracle (0,020 s.) and also Verstappen (0,188 s.) and Bottas (0,255 s.) were at risk!
    With Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari being by far the 3 top teams (season 2).

    Second lap run only by the last six drivers of the first attempt, two of them ended in P2 and P3 (!!!), other two in P7 and P8. Only two did not qualify.

    Can't wait it will be fixed... :classic_rolleyes:

    Hi Codemasters,

    would it be possible to reduce the length of the launching lap in Baku Time Trial? Currently one needs more than 30 seconds driving before to start the lap, really so long (also in comparison with the other tracks). IMHO it should be enough to start directly in the main straight, in the DRS zone more or less...

    Thank you.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Codemasters,

    I would like to suggest a feature which could be pretty useful to the players IMHO: add the MDF panel in the Pause Menu too, in a similar way the user can change the gameplay settings while loading the screens, this would help a lot and could be more realistic too, I explain you why. Today I had a troubled GP which gave me the idea. 

    I cannot set voice command in my configuration (like the most of the players?), therefore I'm forced to navigate the MDF with the arrows' buttons of my wheel (a Logitech G29) to change the most of MDF settings. I also use the shortcuts but all my buttons are already in use for the "driving" settings like ERS, Differential, etc, so the others remain "to be navigated", always with buttons on the wheel but to make 3-4 different clicks need a bit o focus, move the eyes to the steering wheel and this may cause loss of concentration.

    Mainly I'm referring to the settings which are not always used but sometimes they are absolutely necessary during a GP, like choose/change the compound for the next pit stop, modify the front wing setting, or the damage repair one. If the track has a long straight this is not a big problem, although not "funny" the same to move the focus even for only 2-3 seconds, but today I had a tricky 100% race in Monaco and I needed to make changes due to dynamic weather. It was pretty impossible to do it without losing the control of the car, I had to use some Flashbacks to get over it and it was a bit disappointing.

    With the suggested feature it would be much more easy, just pause the game, change the settings and come back to racing in few seconds. This would also be more realistic IMHO, because real drivers don't need to play with MDF to choose the next tyres :classic_tongue: so in our game, the player won't lose his concentration during the race anymore.

    If add the whole MDF system (preferred if possible) in the Pause Menu is an hard matter, it would be enough to add only the toggles shown in the picture.

    Hi there,

    • A detailed description of the issue. Please include any error codes here. 

    Just ended a race 100% in Monaco 2nd season, when I faced a kind of an issue for the first time, not properly a bug, but a feature to fix as well IMHO:

    after the first 13 crazy laps (the first 6 dry, then 7 with Intermediates) I was entering the pit once again to change back into dry compound to end the race, no more rain expected. After my best qualifying of the season (P7) I entered the pit in P6 with 65 laps ahead confident to be able to catch the best result of the whole career when taken absolutely by surprise, my mechanics changed my front wing!

    I didn't know there was any damage, the car was perfectly drivable, probably a very light rear-end collision in the excited initial stages at Grand Hotel. Actually I checked my telemetry and I had 15% damage on the front left and 8% on the right. I repeat, the car was perfect. I tried to used the 'Flashback' but the replay was starting already inside the pit lane when the settings about damage repair (Automatic, Yes, No) cannot be modified anymore!!! Mine was set to Automatic.

    No way, I lost 6.5 s. and back on track in P11 and you know how difficult it is to overtake in Monaco :classic_sad:

    What I'm asking here is double:

    1) the player must really be made aware that the car is damaged and most of all that the current car condition will trigger the damage repair in the box, according with the current setting! Both the radio and preferably a message on the screen should be added, 100% clear, without any doubt. I would have changed the setting when still on track, because I really didn't need to repair and mainly in Monaco the position is too much important.

    2) I can't understand why inside the pit lane I'm still able to change the compound of the next tyres but I cannot change the damage repair setting when I'm still 5-10 seconds far from my box! At least I would allow it.

    This is kinda stupid but the times may be rounded better in Time Trial and I guess all over the game, just look at the picture at the bottom:

    - my laptime is not exactly the sum of the three sectors, I think each of the 4 numbers is probably rounded at the same way and when you make the sum it's normal to get this. Unless the sectors are cut and not rounded. I'm wondering if there may be a cleaner solution: e.g. round of the sectors and total time as sum of already rounded sectors;

    - same for the gap to the ghost, probably the game uses the "full" laptimes like 1:08,97764958098906 etc.

    further info

    Patched with 1.13, is it possible?
    This is my Q2 of today (unfortunately didn't check Q1, I was in the track until the last seconds), first time I see everyone on the track except the top 2 in the standings

    [EDIT] PS: btw the top 2 ended the session in P8 and P10, safe for a miracle! So I guess really everyone should rejoin the track for a 2nd run, we could even add a feature for the top drivers "rejoin the track as last, start the run, and abort the lap if mathematically qualified" if we want to be as close as possible to the real, but ok, an easier full 2nd run would reach the goal as well

    Update on rain frequency in MyTeam career mode--

    I just finished up Monaco in season 3, my last several races in season 2 and first several in season 3:

    • S2 Hungary -- rain during race
    • S2 Spa -- dry weekend
    • S2 Monza -- rain during race
    • S2 Singapore -- rain during qualy and race
    • S2 Russia -- rain during race
    • S2 USA -- rain during race
    • S2 Mexico -- rain during race
    • S2 Brazil -- rain during race
    • S2 Abu Dhabi -- dry weekend
    • S3 Australia -- rain during race
    • S3 Bahrain -- dry weekend
    • S3 Vietnam -- rain during qualy
    • S3 China -- rain during qualy
    • S3 Zandvoort -- dry weekend
    • S3 Spain -- rain during qualy
    • S3 Monaco -- rain during race

    That's rain in 12 out of 16 weekends including a stretch of 8 wet races in 10 race weekends.  That's insane, half that much rain would be way too much.   What's more is the weather is too dynamic, it's unrealistically dynamic.  A race that starts on full wets, transitions to intermediates and then slicks, then transitions back to ints, and then wets, and then back to ints and finally back to slicks again is.....fun, potentially....if it happens once in a pro-longed career mode.  When it happens in back-to-back races it's just a cheap gimmick.

    This game needs a 'rain probability' setting or slider with increments like:

    1. Low probability of rain -- rain may affect 2 - 4 race weekends per year;
    2. Mid probability of rain -- rain may affect 3 - 8 race weekends per year;
    3. High probability of rain -- rain may affect 4 - 10 race weekends per year.

    Just tone it down.  Reminder:

     

    I link the post of my current rain stats here:

    I have to agree about "unrealistically dynamic" speech: actually once the track is heavily wet, it doesn't dry out in few laps in the real (like the recent Turkish GP), the transition should be slower in general and/or specific for each track.

    About the chance to rain, if not a totally manual setting (which obviously would adapt perfectly to the taste of every player), I like your "probability" setting, I would say also with lower values and be clear that a rain weekend should mean:
    - the unaffected weekends are totally dry (e.g. 18-20 GP in option 1)
    - the affected weekends have some rain which may be a) for all the sessions, b) just 1-2 sessions, c) during the race, etc.

    Hi CM,

    I really appreciate the feature to watch the replay of the bestlap of current TT session, I would appreciate even more if the bestlap video would be kept in memory, so one can watch it also in the future, not only after the current session. So there would be possibly two video to watch, the current and the overall bestlaps (if different).

    Today one must immediately save it in a way or another or the lap is lost.

    Thank you and bye :classic_smile:

    Hi CM,

    what about a new let's call it Training mode, similar to TT, but only private I would say and with some features like it follows...

    After choosing the track/time/weather/etc. (like TT) the player could choose how to play:

    - select the compound Soft - Medium - Hard
    - select laps number (1 or +)
    - select tyre wearing on/off
    - select starting wearing for each tyre
    - select the starting fuel amount
    - select on/off for fuel consumption
    - select on/off standing start

    This would allow a player to better simulate race pace, compare compounds, test the first lap, etc. without being in a GP/career with other cars around, retry and of  course save best results like if it was a TT ranking, just made up only of player's own laps/sessions. Besides the leaderboard should allow the player to set filters about any toggle (e.g. all the compounds, or only soft, etc. + X <= tyre wearing <= Y + ...).

    This would be very useful for how I play this game, but of course I don't know if it may be appreciated by the most. I throw the idea there...

    Thank you for reading :classic_smile:

    Nuv

    BTW after watching the performance at Monza yesterday, Tonizza was in pole position with 1:17,232 while the WR no aids in PS4 was (some days ago) 1:17,518. 
    Tonizza is simply awesome but or their car is slightly faster than Mercedes TT or if not, perhaps they play with Regular Corner Cutting Stringency (?)...

    I really would like to know their car power.
