sjsharp2010

Yeah I think that's when I joined too when I heard about F1 2010. Got me really excited back then what with it being at the time one of the first F1 games for PC to come out for quite a while.

you should get it on your car automatically at the start of the next season.

Must admit driving the F2 cars in intermediate conditions is a real challenge Codies did that very well. Very slippery especially considering they have less downforce and F2 doesn't have intermediate tyres As I had a wet race in Hungary and it was especially slippery around the longer corners

Good idea I must admit I'm finding F2 a lot of fun on it. I'll probably start my 2019 career when I've finished my 2016 career I have on the go as I'll likely only be doing another season or 2 on that one as I'm running out of upgrades to purchase now on that career and generally I end my careers on that when I run out. At least they got it right with 2018/19 with the rule changes as that definitely keeps it fresh.

Yeah I've heard it's coming to PC I may consider getting it when it does

it's been happening t oa fwe people I had trouble booting i tup at first when I installed it but thanks to @Faya I found a fix that got it working though I've not had it cras hon me yet bu tthen I've not played career yet. I've mostl yeither been diong sprint races or the F2. I d oplan on starting a career eventually just not yet.

No I don't but mostly because I don't have the time the only thing I do that's full length is qualifying I have 3 30 minute practice sessions and 25% race distance but I still enjoy the practice programs I fully intend to do all 10 seasons on the games as I intend to on both my 2017 and 18 careers I just haven't had the time to really do it all in one go.

If we did that then we 'd be back to where we were before as people would then skip practice as there would be no point to it the reason why they gave us the practic eprograms was t ogiv ethings t d oin the practice sessions because the types of programs ew do in those sessions are similar to what the real drivers do. I kind of enjo ythe practice programs and the challenge of passing them to earn resource points. I personally think that CM made a good design decision there when creating them back on 2016

Each team has it's own R&D tree. It's possible the trees just got copied over from 2018.

Personally I feel the system is fine so doesn't need changing but then that's just my opinion.

I doubt they would do that that would be far too complicated to implement.

When people were playing F1 2017 people ewre complaining upgrading was too slow now people are saying it's to fast but that's why they brought in the rule changes so you would always need to keep earning them. It was done this way so that those that just want a quick blast of a career can do that but at the same time those that prefer a more prolonged career that lasts 10 seasons will still get it. Because with the rule changes you'll always need to keep earning points even with a maxed out car to protect it. Seems that CM can never win these days. It's up to you the player to find what the balance is for you if you feel you're upgrading or getting components too quickly then don't upgrade for a while just save the points who knows you might need them to protect your current upgrades from being wiped out by the rule changes. I know that in my first season on 2018 I actually stopped spending points once I got to the mid season break in order to save them for any potential rule change and by doing so I've been able to protect upgrades that were important to me instead of just mindlessly upgrading the car. By doing this I've enjoyed the game far more I'm still in my first season although I've only got a handful of races left in that first season but that's more due to not getting around to finishing my career I started but I plan on getting back to it. Basically all I'm saying is I think people should take a more measured approach when doing career mode on the game you might find you enjoy it a lot more

Sounds like you've had a ruff day. 😛

Just had my first go at the new F1 game only played a couple of practice races and started an F2 season but the graphics are looking really stupendous for the most part this year. Bahrain's night lighting is really good. Looking forward to doing some more but want to finish my other careers first

Must the Moto GP 19 game is a bit easy I've got the AI cranked up to 70 and I'm still beating it. The graphics are really nice but the AI is somewhat slow I expected more speed so either I'm better at bike racing games than I thought or this game is easy although I'll admit I've only been racing rookies cup races so far. Maybe it'll get tougher once I go up the order

There is a car performance update incoming I think CM are just getting the launch period over with first. I haven't played it yet but I'm looking forward to giving F2 a go when I do. I won't be touching career yet mainly because I want to finish careers on the older games first that I have on the go as I have careers on the go on 16, 17 and 18 and I want oat least finish one of those before I get one started up on 19. I'd say 16 is the one I'll likely finish first mainly because once you've unlocked al the upgrades there's nothing more to do in it. Whereas in 17 you have the classic car events and in 2018 with the rule changes you'll always need to earn points to keep your upgrades up to scratch so at least with 17, 18 and 19 also with the driver transfers the games always kept fresh.

Yeah they rtied to use a more official TV graphics style I just don't think I like the style of it much tbh.

Yeah seeing Aarava's vids and that ultimately is what swung me. I was still sceptical until I heard about the addition of driver transfers but once I heard that drivers can move teams and even retire and be replaced by F2 drivers I was sold. The only thing I'm not a big fan of is the new HUD as I think that's going to be tricky to read at a glance. It's OK for TV even though I didn't like it there either but I don't think it'll work too well on a game. I've not played it yet so can't speak from experience but from what I've seen Codies would have been better sticking to their own HUD

Yeah I was planning on holding off but in the end decided to buy it on disc from Amazon as it's cheaper than getting it from Steam I haven't played it yet but I've heard the AI are tougher and more aggressive this year. I'll still hold off on playing it until I'm finished my other careers but I thought that at least if I have it I can stil lboot it up and just stick with F2 until I'm ready. I'm looking forward to trying my hand at F2 anyway so I've the new F1 and the new Moto GP games on their way to me. As for watching streamers I sometimes watch people playing games on Mixer mostly games I play or have played though. Lately I've been watching people playing the Tomb Raiders

Strange that the disc copy of F1 2019 is cheaper than direct through Steam. Was thinking I might go disc this time as the last disc I got was 2017 so with interviews rule changes F2 and driver transfers all been added to the game since 2017 I'm tempted to go with the disc version given it may take a while to download. Was thinking I might pick up the Moto GP game up too as I'm quite impressed by the graphics on the new one.

Vettel must really hate Canada now 😛 He's jus tDNF'd ther on one of my career modes

I agree I was thinking of doing an F2 season before I started career mostly to get a feel for how they handle before I take on the scenario's. Not sure which F2 team I'll do yet but most likely one of the bigger ones

In fairness CM have designed their games to be the FIFA to F1 games I think which means they have to appeal to casual fans as well as the sim racers that's for me why things like T-cam are in besides I use T-cam myself simply because it's a lot easier to see what's up the road. I'd say so far they've done a pretty decent job but I can't speak for 2019 yet as I've not playedit and it likel ywill be a while before I get a chance to. But with F2 an driver transfers in the game it's likely only a matter of time before I do try it.

Indeed I never judge a game bfeoer giving it a try. I can certainly see myself getting 2019 at some point as I like the sound of the new features but with the fact I do have career modes on the go on the other games I want to finish at least 1 o r2 of those first. I'm hoping to work on doing some of it over the next few days and weeks but we'll see.

Yeah we all go through rough times even I've gone through times where I've just hated life. I've not got to the point where I've felt suicidal or anything but I have been depressed to the point where I jus t don't want to do anything not even eat or drink and I usually quite like my food so it's unusual for that to happen. I think it's just natural that we go through these periods.
