Why won't there be red flags in the game?

Recommended Posts

It happens in real life and is a big factor these days in F1. For me it takes the whole realism. Hopefully they are going to include red flags in a patch...

I got one once at Monaco but usually whenever I got a red flag or Safety car it's usually  only there. I think I had a safety car at Abu Dhabi during a 100% race I ran to see the day/night transition but generally aside from that that's about it.  I think at least we're getting more frequent safety cars judging by the vids so I think we should be grateful for that. Besides I don't think we really need red flag in as that could cause more problems. Maybe for next years game if there is one but I think they've given us enough for this year judging by what we've seen of the preview builds.

How about heavy rain or a crash in Q1,2 or 3? Just like in real life?! It is the official game so it should be in the game...

Than first ask for heavy rain and then for red flags...heavy rain in this games is not heavy enough..

During races the rain conditions can sometimes get bad enough to bring out a safety car, so weather can get worse than 15' or standard heavy rain conditions.

Thats awesome to hear if true...Are you sure that heavy rain caused the safety car? And we already talked about this heavy rain safety car in real life...blue tyres are pointless, we saw it in Silverstone.

WHY WON'T THERE BE RED FLAGS IN THE GAME?

I don't know, and I can't imagine Codemasters will want to explain it to us,..

I think @Britpoint did say that it can rin heavily enough to cause a safety car in the new game but that's as far as it will go. Obviously how and when that'll happen is down to the game.

I kinda wish they were in and they could play havoc with qualifying/practice.  but with safety car/vsc and the fact unless you go out to actively smash everyone you never really saw a red flag in a race.  There non inclusion isn't a deal breaker.
