From what I'm hearing, it's the livery update. Ferrari now has the "90 years" logo, other cars also updated.

Looks like someone hit the Jackpot with Driver Transfers already. https://twitter.com/AE_BeauAlbert/status/1143484589706379265

I'm honestly MORE surprised as to why they don't give you an option to modify gears for classic cars. They're not the "Current" cars, only current cars have one set Gear Ratio and that's it, older cars could choose from at least a few...

I see aarava also mentioned that, with a screenshot oh Hulkenberg in Racing Point. People were saying I was wrong about it, and it's nice to see I wasn't and FULL driver transfers are in the game. FINALLY.

As I was watching the "LEAGUES" video, I noticed that for cars there are only 2 choices - either the Multiplayer Car (which I still like to call "BASE") or F1 2019 official cars. I didn't see any F2 mentions anywhere. Does this mean F2-type Leagues (and also F2 cars) will not be available at all? Because that looks like a MAJOR oversight for me.

Speaking about cutscenes, looking again through the first video, I wanted to say first "how did the other half of the wing disappear?" then I noticed it dropping off in a split second. But then I noticed another thing - spot the problem in this cutscene. I mean, I hope this will be fixed, because while it's not a big deal, it's annoying.

I have seen a video where a person tried out the F1 2018 comparison between Denuvo exe and Denuvoless exe - the average performance improvement with Denuvoless exe was about 10% FPS increase in dry conditions, loading times decreased slightly and most of the lagspikes were gone. Says quite a bit I think.

Seems to be they went a bit overboard with the "confetti" of carbon fibre there. All that happened was the guy on the right his the guy on the left (rear wheel to front wing contact), and only some of the front wing flies off (as I marked in the attached picture in yellow), but for this collision you get a huge amount of "confetti" (marked with red). Seems a bit unrealistic to me.

I am yet to see a race highlights on F1 channel longer than 8 minutes. And after all, this is not a replay, this is highlights. Though we don't even know how will this work.

I will have to agree with the answer above - with only a month to go until the game gets released, we have almost no "official" news about the game, and what we got now... is classic cars list. Not to be rude, but we seriously need more details about Career Mode and Multiplayer - How will the Career Mode look like, were there any other major changes made, how about Multiplayer and the Leagues component, how will it work, etc... What we saw now is just some gameplay (which is more of the same as every year, tbf) and some new cutscenes. People need more details. I, for example, am thinking of not pre-ordering because I'm not sure how will the Career Mode play out. Are the things said in various articles true or?..

Aaand this is why I suggested to send emails to all remaining people that "thanks for applying, but unfortunately you weren't selected this time" - would've reduced questions a lot. 😄

As I expected, I didn't get in. Shame, really, since I had some ideas to tweak the gamepad handling, but oh well. Probably also doesn't help that I wasn't participating in any league 😄 (and also doesn't help probably because of all the various stuff I do/did) Good luck to all the Beta testers, and remember the rule #1 - "The first rule of the Beta Club is we don't talk about the Beta Club." (Faya, 2018)

Well, good luck everyone on the Beta, and remember, this is a BETA, not just Early Access for the game - find bugs with the game and report them! Looks like I didn't get an invite, but that's completely understandable. (Though if reports that Xb1 and PC players didn't get invites yet are true then maybe there's hope for me? Haha)

At least the UI resembles the real one a bit more, even though it's not the exact one.

I can try, at least. So let's just say you "sign up" to a league which has 10 races for "this season". If you attend all, your "league attendance rating" will be 100%. You can, however, miss races for particular reasons, but if the race happens and you're not there, your attendance rating will decrease. So if you miss 1 race in a 10 race season, your rating will be 90%, and so on. Leagues, when approving the "sign up applications" (yep, that's also a thing for leagues) can pay attention to your average league attendance rating, so if you miss races frequently, some leagues may not want that you'd race there (say you have a 60% attendance rating, that's 2 out of 5 races missed on average - league might want only players with high attendance rating, like 90%, so they will probably reject your "sign up application"). Hopefully this explains how it should work.

Yes, from what I know, Leagues are now a thing (and should be with online R&D, proper part wear and part management, (maybe) manual penalties and so on, but Codemasters will explain themselves), also Highlights Reel is also a thing, which is basically saveable replays, or at least great racing moments (with export to video on PC as it seems). I'm just waiting if we will get any "Showroom" mentions or "Driver Transfers" mentions (because yes, these should be a thing in F1 2019, and not just player transfers, but normal proper transfers).

Probably just not available to pre-order yet. It will be available on PC.

That's definitely F1 2019 game. The information layout on the wheel itself is different than F1 2018's, for example, there seems no big ERS bar in the bottom middle, gear number font is different, other information layout looks different...

I mean, it's not exactly hidden if you show it up on SteamDB with name like that... 😄 Still, cool to see that!

Let's not start bashing other people in this topic shall we... (Though if we continue on this topic, I think most people agree 2015 was the worst in the series (we don't count the 2009 one) - 2016 was decent, 2017 was very good and 2018 was also very good, though all the games were plagued with bugs and glitches, more or less. When the games worked, they were great fun to play.)

@Faya maybe a bit too big of a question, but when selecting people for the beta, could you also email those who wanted to get in but didn't get an invitation? Would hopefully reduce questions like "how do I know I was selected or not for the Beta" in the future whenever the Beta starts. Just a suggestion. 🙂

I guess you could potentially map "ERS increase" and "ERS decrease" buttons to the right stick left/right? Could be a potential solution. You won't be able to look left/right when driving though.

..what's wrong with playing rf2 on a pad? I do it sometimes, and it's fun with the right settings. Especially fun with that great FFB...

Signed up also - I still want to help making the game even more fun, even though I might not be 100% on the good side with Codemasters... 😄 Jokes aside, good luck everyone! Also, I want to thank Codemasters for again giving us the opportunity to participate and try and help making the game as good as possible.

Also, guys, we just got news, let's not rush them with our questions yet... 😄 Hopefully in the next 2 weeks we will get more details about the game, because what we got here is pretty limited (Driver/Car Customization, "BASE" car for Multiplayer, F2 *wink wink*).
