@Ender0042 Any websites you would recommend for learning how to better use telemetry - thanks

Thanks!

I had not downloaded - I am currently using Iko Rein's telemetry. However, did yesterday - and it is very good!! However in-game telemetry should be an obvious requirement as it is such a critical element of F1.

I think we are talking about different items - you are referring to a Dashboard - and I was focused on capturing data on multiple laps - so I can see where I was breaking, turning in, whether I was hitting the apex and at what speed - how consistent I was being, etc - also working through why a lap was faster (or slower) than another. Then using that info to adjust my setup...

Smartphone - that I hadn't seen... I currently use Iko Rein's telemetry which captures quite a bit of information for analysis... But I have to be in the pits and then move to another computer to review the data

Telemetry - The central tool for ALL F1 teams. On a race weekend F1 teams will spend more time looking at and analyzing this data than all other activities combined.

Are there any YouTube videos of this software? Thanks

GP4 and F1 Challenge 99-02 were both the complete package. The realistic selection of items for setup and the telemetry analysis in game made both these games a great way to understand F1 and what the three practice sessions were for - and how to get the best lap times. Codemasters has yet to match the completeness of either of these games.

@BarryBL - FYI this topic thread

@BarryBL I purchased the game the end of June last year - a pre-release purchase. I had not used this portion of the game as there seemed to be quite a bit of confusion about pitcoins - and that finally seemed to simmer down. One of the reasons I purchased the Schumacher edition was to be able to get the VIP pass. So I finally used the pitcoins for that purpose, but lost my VIP status in less than a month. If I had just waited a little more (and not wasted my time with Series 3) I would now be able to get that status - for hopefully more than a couple of weeks. So the model of purchasing pitcoins is obviously one that doesn't work.

@BarryBL - FYI

@BarryBL Sent - thanks!

@BarryBL I was enjoying the developing of experience points and moving up tiers and to be unknowingly reset is a downer to say the least. And knowing that can happen again in the future makes this part of the game kind of unpleasant.

@BarryBL I thought I was in the same one - I didn't change to a new series...

@BarryBL I upgraded to 1.15 and lost my VIP status, all my xp points, my tier level 5 status, and access to all the VIP challenges. However the current level of bitcoins is correct - 8,500. I started with 15,000 - then spent 9,000 on the VIP pass - taking me to 6,000. When I achieved Tier 5 I got 2,500 taking me to 8,500 - which is what the screen is currently showing. I have made no other bitcoin purchases beyond the purchase of VIP status. It is showing "Series 4" as the version of Podium Pass I have the Deluxe Schumacher Edition Platform: PS4 Version: 1.15
