Good post! The one aspect of the F1 game series that has been most unrealistic is the data. No F1 team would (could?) compete using the telemetry provided in this game. This is most apparent when in the practice sessions. The whole purpose of the practice session in F1 is to get the setup right - and that requires telemetry. During a race weekend 50% of track time is spent in practice/setup. The purpose in the current game for practice sessions is to develop resource points for improving the car as opposed to getting to the optimal setup. I wish Codemasters could figure out a way t

For Spain/Catalunya - noticed that there are some lines for corners missing - 3, 6, 8, 11, 15, 16 - not seriously problematic for reading the telemetry as the track position map easily lets you align the cursor to those corners - was this intentional? However, there is a line (18) between 9 and 10 - which is near the DRS activation point. Really like the tool tips when hovering over the telemetry variables!! In the previous thread for version 2 you said you might not include "Balance" in future versions - but it is in this. Are you more satisfied with this variable - as it look

Thanks for this! Have come across a few items - started with Spain/Catalunya...

Your team career car should be one of the cars you can select in Time Trial - select 2021 cars and scroll to the right and it is after all the existing teams.

If this is the case then those using controllers have a huge built-in advantage. In any of the on-line racing events or competitions (or even the two player career mode) how many positions does a wheel user lose to someone using a controller at the start of a race because of this?

Affirming the point that @LonelyRacer was making in the video that race starts for those with wheels has very serious problems... Thanks

Good call!

This is likely the same problem. My issue has been that at the start either the RPM was barely registering or it was 100%. When I pressed very lightly on accelerator I got minimal revs, but with very slight additional pressure I was basically at 100% revs. He was showing the same thing but moving after all the cars had passed. When he went from 15% to 16% throttle he was recreating what I was experiencing. One thing about the author of this video - he has written one of the better known free telemetry programs that is available over at the Race Department - and been doing versions for F1

I don't have that - I am in cockpit mode so the only thing on the right hand side is the mfd...

Throttle Meter?? Are you referring to the lights across the top of the steering wheel? Thanks

Is anybody having this problem? At a race start when holding the clutch in and I press on the accelerator - either none of the lights are on at the top of the steering wheel (very low pressure on the pedal) or all of them are on (anything above very low pressure on the pedal). There doesn't seem to be a way to get anything in-between. As a result many of my starts either end up with veering off into other cars or a wall or getting hit from behind. I have a G29 wheel... Thanks

Agree that this is difficult to hear at this point...

Was simply showing what a real driver is looking at and seeing - as a point of reference...

I am having the same problem. At a start when I push on the accelerator either none of the lights are on at the top of the steering wheel or all of them are on.

Seeing your telemetry reflects exactly what I have been experiencing. ...and thanks for your telemetry software - very helpful! @BarryBL Any update on this? His use of the telemetry data is a good description of this problem.

I just discovered that the MY Team car can be selected for the time trial - allowing you to practice a bit in them before doing practice sessions/qualifying/races. This is a great feature - letting you get used to the car - and when upgrades are applied. This could be viewed as simulator time... As an aside to that this story came out yesterday: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.wolff-says-reluctant-hamilton-starting-to-see-benefits-of-simulator-work.6wlvGrcINfAJNQcEwaMfUK.html
