Lack of power/speed

Recommended Posts

Hello,

it seems like after this new patch on PS4 (today is my first day to play F1 2017 with new patch) something is wrong with straight line speed of the car I am driving. No matter which team, it is always lower than it should be. Before that I had no problems at all.
For example: in Baku (Azerbaijan) average straight line speed at the finish line is around 310-315 kph. When I was driving Toro Roso car in my career mode straight line speed was 290 kph which is just unacceptable because I am losing so much time during that last sector (AI 3rd sector time: around 25.0s, mine is around 28.0s). Other sector times are kinda comparable with mine (only losing time trought that long straights).
So after that I went to try Grand Prix mode with Ferrari car to see if maybe my engine department in career mode is lacking behind but seems like its not the case because during the long straight in Baku with Ferrari max. speed is 296 kph - still something is wrong.

I hope somebody can help me solve this problem or give me some advice what to do because with this problem my game is basicly unplayable.

Thank you for the answers!

Problem with your gamepad or pedals I think, because with my Haas at Baku the top speed on the finish line is around 335 KPH.
When you press the throttle at the maximum you can , is the red line (bottom right of the screen) is at the maximum ????

Go into advanced wheel settings there should be a display at bottom as well as the one in HUD which shows your inputs. Like bono said this sounds like issues reported previously with ps4 pad no longer registering 100% throttle. You can adjust with the sliders to make sure fully pressed gives you full throttle.

Another test is switch throttle to the r3 stick and seeing if you get 100% throttle with that

Okay guys I've tested my controller (gamepad) and yes the problem is on my R2 button. When I fully pressed the button that line bar at bottom right of the screen is like at 90% but when I switched to r3 stick as you FRACTURED recomended me that bar is at 100% and my car is at full speed again.

So now we found the problem what should I do? Buy new gamepad or is it possible to fix that?

Thanks for help of course!
