They have slowed the AI starts down! the AI are already easy to get by the first corner even on highest settings why would they need to be even slower who requested this?

They're not that easy to get by on difficulty above 106 if you drive normally. Obviously, if you're a divebomber, any AI will be easy to pass into the first corner.

Besides, this probably slows them down off the line, not into the first corner, which is correct since the human can only match them or go slower, unlike previous games. It should really be more random though, some AI need to be able to get much slower getaways than others - it seems the variance is too low.

That reads like a lot of good stuff I've been waiting for. AI starts were OP this year, and giving more options for career mode is always nice. Hope the tweaks work out as intended.

Soo they added Halloween stuff that probably nobody asked for, but they didn‘t add a proper save functionality to restart a race without going through the whole weekend which (Online Championship likeF1 2018) was heavily requested in one of the most viewed threads. Well that‘s some nice prioritization in terms of customer vs capitalism 😬

@RedDevilKT  I hope the "lapped cars ghost" can be turned off and on manually?

Same, I hope it can be turned off, for the sake of league racing.

Of course we pay full price for the game and we should be able to expect a perfect game, but still they listen to the community a bit and fix some major issues which is great.

Besides the big complaints from everywhere I still enjoy the game big time and want to give huge credits to codemasters because they still do a great job for this game. I know this is an opinion which will not be supported by a lot of people but I think codies really need some support because they made huge improvements the last years in the F1 games.

@bastek2504 @MrCosta96 The lapped cars ghosting option is directly tied into the existing ghosting option. If the ghosting option is enabled for the league or lobby then lapped cars will ghost, likewise if this is disabled, cars will not ghost at all including lapped cars. Hope that helps!

When will the DRS zones in Germany, Singapore and Mexico be updated?

[sergey_blackbird 109]

Bahrain, Adu Dhabi, Singapore all have lights on even in daylight!!!

Do I have to start a new career to turn off driver transfers?

[TheSerbian 43]

Thank You Codemasters for Update 1.15 !!!

You have fixed one of the most game killer thing in F1 2019 Career Mode (Mid-Season Driver Transfers) !!!  

Finally we can Disable Totally Driver Transfers or Mid-Season Driver Transfers !!! I cant say how i am happy now 🙂 For Me Mid-Season Transfers were totally a game killer thing 🙂 

Thanks also for Teammate select option, finally i can start Career Mode with George Russel in Williams Racing 🙂 Probably I will Disable Driver Transfers, because i want to be constructor champion with my teammate George Russel 🙂 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You need to fix some other things like :

• 25% Races A.I. bad Tyre Strategy ( A.I. a lot of times choose Hard Tyres after pit stop in 25% races ... )
• For some reason teammate is became faster and faster in Career Mode with same Difficulty Level.
• Equal Cars option in Grand Prix and Time Trial
• Turn Off Option for A.I. Engine Failures. I dont like to get easy points because A.I. cars has Engine Failures
• Driving with Our Custom Driver in Grand Prix Mode. So for example if i choose Ferrari or Mercedes, i want to see my name as a Driver 🙂

Ok thx for the info. The only problem I think we have is, that when ghosting is turned off, the cars of people who diconnect also don't ghost and this is really annoying in league races because nobody likes the AI (blocking crashing etc) . Could we get a third option where only cars of bots are ghosting?

[Morsify 121]

Driver transfer changes and options is very welcome, thanks for adding this.

I've held off buying 2019 just because of the silly mid season transfers, but I now look forward to buying it soon.

@RedDevilKT

Recently you stated that the car performance/ team performance / driver performance was not something Codemasters were "currently" looking into.

 

How about now?

 

Is there a chance for F1 2019 to get another car performance/ team performance / driver performance update?

 

 

[amphobius 37]

It shouldn't have taken literally 4 months to get an option to disable the mid-season transfers (or AI transfers outright). 🤣

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to actually have the ability to play the game I bought in June now the way I'd like, but it's a bit like congratulating someone for buying you sugar from the shop... that you asked for two weeks ago. It's a bit late for it now.

[psYchovic77 19]

Wasn't there supposed to be something related to DLSS in this update? Where is it?

[jennyannem 41]

Just to update that this is now out on PS4 too.

[TNTMati 40]

How about fixing SC?

[Gragooni 51]

Safety car?

Still needing buffs for Ricciardo, Sainz and Hulkenberg (maybe Albon, will see how he compares to Max) and nerfs for Perez, Weber and Gasly. Was hoping with them swapping Albon and Gasly they'd look into it.

You can change the setting mid-career in the options, while loading between sessions!

Driver transfers OFF OFF OFF Praise the Lord!!
