Ers system

Recommended Posts

That's a good question. I assume you should be able to complete the program, otherwise the program would be useless/impossible for people who need the assist. My guess is you'll simply get the 'green' score if you achieve the lap time, but you'd need to manage ERS manually to get the purple.

I have no idea either really I certainly plan on setting it to Automatic as we have to many buttons to use as it is for me. Especially given I only have 1 hand on the controls

ERS on Automatic seems to mean that is stuck on Medium, which is kinda ridiculous, because I think it should change depending on on track situation, the harvesting, etc.

I have a hard enough time navigating through the MFD to change my fuel mapping without driving off the track..i dont know how im going to be able to manually manage ers.  Guess it depends on what key binding options will be on the xbox version.

Hi DPaton23 you're right, navigate in mdf menù is difficult. So this is the reason why I created the f1 steering wheel.
Go to my website to see the videos. www.f1steeringwheel.com
You can change Mix, ERS, Differential, Brake Balance, Next Tyre Strategy, Downforce with buttons, rotary switches and encoders in a simple way without distracting from driving.

Note that you don't generally have to navigate through the MFD to change fuel mapping -- just tapping the menu left or right buttons should work regardless of which MFD screen you're on.

Pretty sure you can customise the button bindings aswell

Yeah even using the options to select a different strategy can be tricky for me as well but in my case it's more due to only having one hand on the controls due to my disability. So I know I'll  likely just have the ERS on Automatic and leave it there given how difficult it can be. I may still have a go at the practice program though just to see how that works.

Have a look into voice command dont know how it works or what can change with it but might be something worth looking into

Yes absolutely, there's already a good amount of content out on Youtube from people explaining how it all works. Here's a good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC1z0TaamMU

After seeing the ERS tutorial vid, I've got a query & will be obliged if anyone could solve the query?

Today, when playing the event, I had the ERS on automatic. I was surprised most of the times when I negotiated through Eau Rouge, the car would tend to spin or spin. I noticed that the ERS would be at 5 (hotlap). Was my car spinning due to this (the ERS going onto hotlap) when going through Eau Rouge? If yes, shouldn't I set ERS to manual then?
