    I hate it when games atart being a pain in the neck and stop working. Trying to get one of my old classic adventuer games to work and it's not playing ball atm.

    yeah can't say it happened to me as I had a bad race there in my 2014 season on the game but then I don't tend to go well there anyway. I've only ever won at Monaco twice on CM's games and on both those occasions was on 2012 not on 2015

    One of the many pleasures of racing at Monaco I suppose. Just received my dispatch note for the PGA game I ordered from Shopto.

    Yeah I had a few troubles with backmarkers too in my season. Ericsson in the Caterham was particularly bad

    yeah that's one thing I'm liking too the attention to detail they've given the game this time out. Especially the night races. .Sometimes I do play on a higher level (usually only when I've had a season where I've dominated though) but I thought I just wanted to win first time out and given CM's AI in the past, I wasn't sure what settings to pick so I normally in those situations  start on the easiest settings and work from there as that's what I tend to do with most games. Also it wasn't that easy to win as I didn't clinch it till the penultimate round in Brazil so the Mercs made me work for it. I may play at a higher setting later but I'll see how I do in the 2015 cars first. Was thinking those colourful blue and yellow Sauber's might be a nice challenge. Plus I'm racing for Sauber on 2010 atm so I'm tempted to have a go in those when I do it.

    Well I generally prefer to fight for the win personally. So for me it's the right setting really

    Well I did have a lot of close races so not sure about that.

    Another nice little touch I saw last night on F1 2015 is the day/night transition rescales itself based on what length of race your running. I found that cool. Also saw Jenson doing doughnuts in Brazil after I secured the championship with him that was also cool.

    Only changes front wing though, when really you need more rear in the rain and less camber. Seems silly to me though. Btw I've upped the difficulty up to expert, I'll be doing my first race using it soon. Just doing qualifying at Spain in the wet, and I'm still P1, but I expect them to be faster in the race. I finished the last race 20 seconds ahead of P2, so needed to make it harder. Edit: Wow that was close, while reading you post and then posting the track dried up. The session ended and I was P10 in Q2 so just made it through, as they had fitted dry tyres...lol yeah I'm compensating by turning parc ferme off and saving setups for various weather conditions. Then load up what I need for the appropriate session. Best I can do for the moment. I just hope it gets patched/corrected. At least that's how I'm working around it right now. Must say I'm really impressed by the Singapore circuit whoever worked on that needs a pat on the back it looks fantastic

    Kind of looking forward to the new PGA game though looks nice on the frostbite engine. Having said that most games using that engine are.

    Hughesy said: Is there any way to check what the weather is going to be on race day In F1 15? As all I see is weather for the current session, and if it's wet on race day I can't change my setup. You could see the forecast for all sessions in past F1 games... yeah that's what I was asking @Hughesy I can find the weather for the current session but not for the whole weekend. Because if you play with the parc ferme rules you need to know this. It cost me in Australia as it rained and I hada dry setup and it almost cost me in Austria as well. Fortunately there I was able to hang on. I think we definitely need his added as it does make the game harder without it. I've noticed the glowing brakes on the cars but not the paddles glowing no. But then I've not driven much in the 2015 cars yet. I've been playing with the 2014 ones. The only 2015 car I've driven was the Sauber last night which I took for a quick blast round Mexico.

    They did :p we well where is it? As I can't find it on any of the displays I'm only finding the weather for the current session that I'm in. not the full weekend forecast

    Don't know why they haven't included a weather forecast on the game to allow you to plan ou the settings on  your car though they do need to sort that out at least I think.

    The weather thread

    Personally I prefer cooler weather than hot especially when my body seems to struggle with the heat. Not much I can do about it though except keep my room dark and block out the sun. Wghich isprecisely what I am doing.

    yeah it's just little annoying  things really. But CM are bringing out patches so lets hope most of the most glaring problems are dealt with because the game in general is pretty solid. Or at least the most important parts are I think. Must be Ricciardo's :p Was just racing China myself and I ended up lapping him twice and he was going very slowly on both occasions. Didn't notice he was missing a wheel though. Also we know Red Bull gives you wings. :p

    yeah I agree I'm not saying it's not without it's problems because there are quite a few but it is a good start to next gen I just hope that the features that weren't brought back this year like career mode  get brought back next. I think it will though it certainly sounds like CM want to bring those features back but wanted to make sure the game had a solid base to work from at the start which I think they now have.

    3 races 3 podiums 2 wins not bad for a supposedly bad underperforming car. That's my record in the McLaren as Button on F1 2015 so far in Championship mode

    The Game Thread!

    Yeah the T-cam needs raising a bit as I'm finding it hard to judge my braking points. Other than that I'm enjoying it so far. The AI feels a lot like 2012's game to me and 2012 for me up until now for me had the best AI By that I mean fast enough to be a problem if you make a mistake but not so fast as that you can't race them. Which to me is very important as I'm not the quickest of drivers. I've only done 3 lap sprint races so far but I intend on doing a few longer races today. Edit just finished my 100% round Abu Dhabi as Button in the McLaren finished 10th 1 lap down but it was good fun race though. The day/night transition looks just as beautiful as ever on the new engine.

    Personally I agree with @Hughesy here I quite like what I've seen thus far. Haven't done any Championship races but will do a little later. Was going t odo a quick race round Hockenheim and a 100% round Abu Dhabi see what the day/night transition looks like on the new engine. But after that I'll be off to Melbourne to start my first championship.

    The Game Thread!

    yeah I agree I was going to start with 2014 first and then move to 2015 afterwards Edit: Had my first go on the game now. Struggling a little with the handling atm but I think I'm slowly getting to grips with it. The only issue with the game I'm having right now is the |T-cam is a bit low and it's making it more difficult to see that far ahead like I could see in the earlier games. Managed to get a win in Bahrain in the McLaren and a podium at Sochi. Also managed a 7th place at Monza all in all a good game so far.

    finishing up my Australian gp on 2010 first then I'll be on it.

    I'll likely only be doing some 3lap practice races around some of my fave tracks tonight then start serious on it tomorrow with a 100% round Abu Dhabi to see the day/night transition in action and after that start a 2014 championship season on it with Button. At least that's my plan anyway.

    Going to get some practice in on F1 2010 ready for 2015 I think today
