Totally Manual

Recommended Posts

I want that you confirm what we can use totally, 100% manual.

  • Formation Lap;
  • Manual Start;
  • Pit Stop.

Manual start is fully manual 
Formation lap is manual except for grid line up
Pit stop is not manual just the speed which you approach it and enter the pit lane

80% formation lap (car is auto driven after final corner onto grid)
Manual start is about 98% (only button release instead of a slow release paddle or button etc like real life)
Pit stop 20% you can control your entry into pit lane and you press the button for speed limiter, after that its all auto until pit exit

Oh no! No, no!
And now, as I will do fully satisfied pre-order?
I wanted that Codemasters was 100% altruistic.
But no, I wanted to have complete freedom.

And those ghosts on the formation lap?
The car positions itself alone, that boring...
I wanted to position myself, maybe even steal a little on the grid...
But not...
The biggest problem are the ghosts,
and can not drive in the pit lane.

The way I look at is its a start, if all goes well perhaps we will finally start to see this trend of freedom and wanted features continue.

Ghosting during formation lap happens when you wrongfully overtake cars.

And... I'm sorry but... steal grid spots? no thanks I'm glad its auto. Cheaters like you would ruin the online experience.

Bear in mind the ghosting only happens in abnormal situations. So if you've overtaken cars on the formation lap and pull into your spot in the way of the AI cars for example. If you drive a normal formation lap you should never see it.

The game can't be 100% manual otherwise would be full of bugs, I remember in F1 Challenge 99-02 you could edit a file and make the game 100% manual. By 100% manual I mean leaving the pits, going to the grid, starting the formation lap, parking in your spot for the start of  the race and even driving back to the pits after the race.

The problem is when things don't go as planned. Let's say you miss your spot after the formation lap. Well, too bad, it's 100% manual, the game can't fix that for you, so the start will be messed up. That's the same problem for manual pits.
