'MFD - Extended the strategy timer to 30 seconds'

Is this where you press L1 and press an option to speak to your engineer or something else? Just doing the first practice session since updating to 1.03 and if I press L1 still only have 4 seconds to act?

This is the time given to select a new strategy should your race engineer offer you one.. Im on xbox one and mine has always been 30 seconds

Likewise for me on PS4, always had 30 seconds to decide.

Just in case you missed my earlier update about multiplayer:

Just to give you guys an update on this! Firstly, thank you for your patience with us, and thanks for all the information you've given us.

We've found and fixed an issue that caused frequent host crashes with knock-on consequences that included additional lag, positional errors and sessions stalling. We're also still going through your reports to see if we can identify additional issues that you've raised.

We've submitted an updated to Sony and we hope to have this released as soon as possible

What about the R&D?

No one cares about the R&D. Just don't use it if you think it's too unrealistic ffs

Another thing that is not right. In Austria in Quick race, 50%, Short Qualify, Ferrari, Vetel, traction control full, racing line corner only, Anti lock brake on.  I started the race on Super soft then switch to Soft on lap 15 but when I pass the start/finish line on lap 34/35 (race is 36) I got a warning that I have to use SS and Soft compound in the race but I did use both compound. I stayed on the track and I've been DSQ when I pass the Start/Finish line on lap 35/36.

Is there a list of the speedtraps in practice and qualifying, if not could u add 1.

^^^this. Please add the speed traps to the map. More importantly, add the ability to see your own speed and rank in the speed trap. Right now you need to go through each AI and figure out which number is missing and that's where you rank.

@larryl I have adjusted my sound to main audio as you suggested but it hasn't helped me

Thanks for 1.04 but the cars are still drifting and twitchy. 

Fix it!

I wasn't imagining it then. I mentioned in a thread entitle 'Veering' where I experienced a slight tug to the right on back straight of Bahrain leading into pit straight, and also have experienced it towards end of the long back straight in China, and same with pit straight in Sochi......all instances just before the braking yard markers.

I mean the MFD HUD in general in that you can't open it when prepared and ready on the starting grid. Having done a qualifying run in the dry, and then you have a full wet start, you'd want to recalibrate your downforce amongst other things, but cannot do so until you start moving off before you can get the MFD HUD up. Same when coming into the pits, say for instance when needing to change dry for Inters or Full Wets, or vice versa, you might also want to change your settings to suit, but the MFD disappears off the screen as you enter the pit lane, and you need to click on the particular button you set it up for, to get it back on screen after exiting pit lane.

I do agree that when you are given the option to change strategy by the engineer, it always seems to come when you are entering a complex part of the track where you need to concentrate on driving the car, and by the time you get to the straight to look at what has been presented to you, it's not available anymore.

Annoyingly as well, should you click and choose to stay with your option, it's not long before the engineer asks you again whether you want to take his strategy option, or stay with what you have. Grrrrrrr!! LOL

First problem:

In the video at 00:15 you are able to see in the weekend tyre allocation screen, the mandatory compound are Soft and Medium. However, at 2:20 in the video, when it is time to choose the tire for the Qualify session, the mandatory compound have changed and are now Super Soft and Soft. In an earlier race, the game has given me three mandatory compound but I unfortunately don’t have the video.

 

Second problem:

I have a major power failliure as soon as I get out of the stand. When I completely let go of the throttle in the hair pines and tight turns, the throttle stays on and makes my car go wide out of the turn.  When I put the throttle in the maximum position it doesn’t  go any higher than ¾ of the power. I can not even raise the RPM enough to put the car in the 8th gear. It is not noticable in the out lap but in my hot lap it is clearly noticeable.

 

The second problem is as bad as a disconnection and  is not raceable, it must be fixed in emergency.

 

Why don’t we not stop the stuberness of fixing a bad patch and not just go back to pre 1.03 version until the game works because right now we can not league race in those condition.
