F1 Realism and helmets!

Recommended Posts

Who else is tired about the actual helmets?Allways the same ones 2014 2016 2017 and when im not wrong before too.The custom winners yhea thanks useless at all bring not so bullshit maybe give us a customation mode for helmet with vinyls numbers flags whatever! Or also why we cant choose sponsors each team like ferrari u can choose shell kaspersky hublot ray ban puma and more or the ferrari scudetto on the helmet! I think if they really try this is possible at all cause the driver wear also original race suits so cant be so hard! Than the realism. Why i cant choose a race gearbox cause nobody drive the race one in FP1 or FP2! Than when it comes in i hope we can choose different T-Wings!Execpt from each circuits. Or the brake balance is brake by wire so set by the wheel and not how in the game with this switch left down used to 2013! Same about why we cant choose the brake material soft middle hard! Or brake disc size lil normal big!Like reality!And something what makes all bad the accleration from the cars is wrong vs reality the real ones are way faster! Cause in the game some tracks i must go low downforce to get the real top speed on a high downfource track.The wet races its allways first inters than heavy wet why it cant be direvt heavy wet.This is for me just scripted and no dynamic weather.Than i drive me second year at monza now i go every race 100%.And i must say thats a joke 5 laps race strategy.And other things it just get bored in all the game.Wear and durability i personally have no problem with it i upgraded enough so it works but at the start off career this was unbelievable. Exept my team mate have the same as me cause end off season he just get grid penalties like mercedes ferrari too this is just stupid.All im all i hope codies will change something and not release allways mainstream.Make it right or leave it.So i hope some people there get up and make it right!I know i didnt say all like scripted lap times and many more but this hope i have long give away!

Your English is fine. More people will read your post if you just use one paragraph for each point you want to make. And fewer exclamation marks!!! You don't need to shout everything!!!! ;)

Sorry for a Bad English i know its not all 100%.. or written in the right way... but i think if i write it in german nobody will understand something.. 
It's less about English or German but more about using freaking paragraphs.

As for the topic of this thread: Don't know, didn't read it, the lack of paragraphs made me angry.

And yhea what i forgot. The tyre temps just did test it out at all tyre pressure have no consequence in it a hot brake also when its allready known that the drivers use the brakes under SC to keep tyres on temp. And original race winner trophys it makes only angry to see that they become so a lil thing not real. Official hud i know much want it for me yhea but i drive cockpit cam without any hud parts so i dont miss it at all. The same why we cant choose the tyres free not only normal soft or hard weekend choise. Its just so much that i must ask me what codies do all the year before release. It start by lil things finish in big things but yhea doesnt seem like something will change. But one thing please make the cars in cockpit view realistic i was with the luck the sit in an sf70-h and i can say in game that look into like a joke missing so much there.... and probably thats by all cars the same. This year so or so its to late but i hope for f1 2018 codies will do
a better job as this!

Mate,

You're complaining about so much now that we literally dont even know where to begin in responding, an example being above... 

You're complaining about the trophies?

Its just a part off realism that when i win spa monza whatever for circuit to put the real trophies in this game. All in all its fun to play for sure just i miss so much things in the case off realism... start by helmet end by a stupid trophy.

Its for me just so much that the question come up what they do in a whole year to produce so a game. Its nice thing this classic cars but to be true i would prefer a much better main game without classic cars. Cause just what i see is that this classic cars specially in cockpit view are much more detailed and there i ask me why they do it by classics but not to the actuall cars... most looks just copy paste from 2016

Ok, now that is much better,
I agree with everything you have said there.

I find it odd that the 2001 Ferrari should have the cockpit leg restraints yet the main cars don't? Also half of the main cars have all of the nose ariels, but the Mclaren, Ferrari, Mercedes only have the pitot tubes and not the ariels?

It's just a lack of attention to detail and that is their downfall...

I also agree that the helmets are very boring too.

They could atleast have some basic helmet decal overlays for each team, for example if you're driving for Mclaren then a Mclaren logo could be across the top of the visor along with your chosen racing number on the top of the helmet.

I'm aware Codies complain about being limited by FOM and the individual teams as to what they can and can't implement, though to be honest i don't fully buy into that excuse anymore.

Thats exactly what i mean! They have put so much atention on this classics what is ok but than please put the same work into the main cars and this they didnt. To be true the cockpit cams i see as copy paste from 2016 with wider tyres and some different chassis stuff like mirrors some wings here and there and this is just poor. And about the FOM limitations i buy it about the damage model half and half cause example in fifa player can be injured too and nobody say this we want show in a game. For me it all look like that nobody by codies really try to work on this cause im sure nearly 100% that nobody by ferrari or mclaren or mercedes dont agree to give us the chance to put some team sponsors on the helmets. But however if this is impossible than give us a mode to put at least some flags or numbers off the own driver to make it look a bit better.

If codies would put a bit more work in details the game could be much better at all.  Its the same about the R&D System its a good one but if mercedes update a power train at least one or two races later williams and force india also become it and not how its shown into the game. Same as ferrari by haas cause im my career ferrari is by powertrain close to mercedes but hass is nowhere nearly same with renault and behind red bull however it works that red bull have a better one as renault self. But whatever u talk write in this forums it look like maybe they see it but dont care about it.

Da muss man dir aber auch absolut recht geben werter Kollege, die Jungs und Mädels bei Codemasters scheinen wohl zuviel vom süßen Nektar der monetären Droge gekostet zu haben als dass die sich mal die Mühe machen würden ernsthaft auf die Kritik ihrer "Fanbase" einzugehen.

Diese Punkte die du nennst kursieren fast allesamt schon seit 8 verdammten Jahren in diesen Foren, und immer noch haben die es nicht auf die Reihe gebracht auch nur die Hälfte davon im Spiel zu implementieren. 

Einfach nur lächerlich.

All in all the realism in this game is just a joke.

just one thing i did ask arround to the info service by ferrari about helmet sponsors. The answer was clearly that its not alloud to use random sponsors like monster sign by ferrari or anything else that they didnt have as sponsor!

But to use teamsponsors for the driver helmet is there all in all no problem cause in the end its just marketing for those sponsors and ferrari self!!

One phrase in this conversation was that if this was such a big problem its never alloud to wear the original driver suit or to have the own name over the garage to change a car number. So however so restrective how they allways complain its not allways.

I know that most would say that gameplay is the most important thing in F1 games and I do agree with that, but for me so is the way the game looks. It may sound petty, but the lack of ariels on the cars is one thing that's really bugged me for years. Last years game only the Ferrari had one and now most have them this year apart from Mercedes, Ferrari, Williams and McLaren. I like realism and the cars that don't have them just don't look as good as the ones that do..  

As for helmets, I totally agree, they look horrendous and have done for years. Surely whatever team you drive for their sponsors could go on your helmet? I honestly can't see whats wrong with that. You're wearing a racesuit with the sponsors on so what difference does it make with the helmets?

Implement these two things, team orders, flat spotting of the tyres and a race type pitstop in qualifying in 2018 and we have ourselves a perfect game.
