CODEMASTERS - PLEASE FIX THE MONACO BUMP

Recommended Posts

One of the key parts of the Monaco circuit is the bump on the exit of Casino, however I do not feel that this is very accurate in the game. Without Traction Control, I am able to go flat out over the bump and I dont spin or lose traction and also it doesn't damage my car if I hit the bump at high speed. If this is realistic, then it makes me question why the real F1 drivers always avoid the bump, so I personally believe that the bump must be much worse in real life than in the game.

@xFitcho - May I ask why you say that it is quicker to go around it? - As I say, in the game, it doesn't make you lose traction, doesn't break the car, so I dont understand the advantage of making the track longer by going around it.

You defiantly loose traction, its not a case of fixing it its the physics of the game and you do loose a bit of traction and you loose time

I can definetly feel the bumb. And when i put the trottle.down or have my wheel not 100% straight it defenitly upsets the car and i end op in the barrier!

Yeah, with medium or no TC, the bump definitely makes my car break traction enough for me to have to catch it if I go too aggressively. Then again, they're not going to build a mountain on it just to throw off drivers. It's a nuisance, and I definitely can go faster by going around since I have more confidence under braking when I didn't just have to catch my cars from hitting the barriers.

Just like how your cars handle curbs. Its all according to what setup you have on the car. I'm seeing a lot of players just throwing their hands up and saying the game don't do this or don't do that. Cars cant make certain turns or the game doesn't have an accurate grip like a real car. All of that is according to how your car is setup. Makes me think a lot of players don't bother with playing around with set ups to notice all of that is dictated by the setup. If you want the car to drive more realistic then you can set the car up to drive that way. Stiffen up the rear of the car

@jammie360 @kevinkirk - With my set-up and driving style, the bump doesnt make me lose traction. My point is that all of the F1 drivers in real life avoid the bump, and this must be because it would upset or possibly break the car - by avoiding the bump, you lengthen the track and end up on the wrong side of the track for braking into the hairpin. With my set-up, I can go quicker by going over the bump, and obviously, the real F1 drivers would do this if it was possible, so this tells me that the bump is far less noticeable in the game than real life.

I agree about it not being accurate. As far as real life, of course they could set the car up to not have to do that. Instead they find its faster to not set it up like that. I imagine in doing that it hurts the other parts of the track and hurts the laptime.. My point is, if you want really want that bump to be more realistic then adjust the car setup in a way that it looses traction over that bump. Just throwing it out there

@kevinkirk - Can I ask why i would want to intentionally set up the car not to go over the bump? - I have set up the car for the fastest setup around Monaco, and even with that setup, I can easily go over the bump without Traction Control. In real life, the drivers cannot go over the bump, and my point is that it is obvious that the bump doesnt effect the car as much in the game as in real life.

I already agreed with you on that. The bump IS NOT accurate. I am given up trying to explain that you can set up the car to not have the grip you are complaining about the car having. For some reason you are having trouble with that concept and i cant think of a more simple way to suggest it to you other than the ways i have already tried in my earlier comments..

Well i cant go full throttle over that bump on xbox one without assists, i loose alot of traction and the risk of going over it is just not worth it.
Iam driving with a wheel, maybe thats a thing?

@kevinkirk - Sorry, I must have misunderstood. I was only asking codemasters to make the bump more realistic in the future, but to be honest, it doesnt bother me enough to lose lap time - I would just prefer it to be as realistic as possible.

@JP072 - I dont use assists and i use a wheel as well, but as @kevinkirk said, it may be to do with my set up, or it could even be different driving styles and racing lines, I just would have thought that in real life the bump would put you straight in the wall or damage the car if you hit it in real life, so the fact that i can go over it flat out and others can go over it with a slight lift must be a bit unrealistic.

Well i think it willnt break the car when you go over it but it could damage the downside of the car.
i think i use 3/4 rideheight on monaco, cant go lower.
also its a part in the game that cant get damage...

Monaco is fine as is IMO; a perfect circuit for a true test of driver skill, especially in the rain. No changes required !!!!

@FOneFanatic - I am not asking for them to change the circuit, just make it a bit more realistic with the bump - one of the key parts of the circuit is the bump, and it isnt as challenging as in real life, so I would love some extra realism for this part of the circuit.

@Foreverchamps ...Actually this game has the best rendition of Monza when compared to Project CARS (these are the only two instances of Monza I'm aware of in console racing games) - but I get your point.
