Broadcasting improvements needed

Recommended Posts

In this age of eSports broadcasting we need some improvements in F1 2018 to make the experience a bit smoother and more professional. All of the camera views are fantastic, but unless there is a way to do it that I am not aware of, we need a way when spectating to jump to a view of a car/driver without having to press F7 or F8 (on PC) multiple times to change from one high up in the order to a lower one, or vice versa. At the moment on some streams I watch, it gives you a headache watching as the broadcaster switches through 7 drivers quickly to get to the view he wants to see. Project Cars 2 lets you simply select whatever driver you want in the position order list with the mouse to switch the view directly to that driver. Could we implement something like that in F1 2018? If you wont/can't do it using a mouse, you could potentially make numbers 1 to 0 on the keyboard represent drivers 1 to 10 and shift + 1 to 0 represent drivers 11 to 20, or something like that. Can we please get something implemented to allow this functionality?

On a different matter, the rev limit bug still exists in patch 1.08. A complete fix for this would also help broadcasting professionalism.

You can switch to a driver directly on the right side.

Yeah I know, but we still need something more instantaneous, which is why people are just using F7/F8

How about they focus on RPM glitch, Locking up spectate glitch, De sync and adding replays of the races first
Yep, all of those definitely need to be fixed
