Rubber, Smoke and a Manor of things (XB1)

Recommended Posts

Has anyone noticed that there is virtually no visual tyre graining ?. 

In the previous F1 games, even if you didn't bring up the tyre wear display you could still see the graining.  In 2015 they look brand new through out the race and you keep having to ask the grease monkey for an update or as soon as he informs you that they are "going off the cliff" (normally 5 laps from your pit stop), the car starts sliding off the track, whilst the A.I. cars show no sign of deg until their pit stops. This means is hard to monitor/manage the tyres and rules out the under-cut.

So now's a good time to talk about pit stops (still unrealistic service times), before the D1 patch you could like previous games, adjust you fuel mode/tyre selection as you enter/exit the pit lane, but now you can't and you have to do it before you exit the track into the pit lane and after you rejoin the track. 

Now we come to the smoke, as you exit the pits and accelerate the game will all of a sudden drop you to second gear even with manual gears resulting in a smoking damaged engine for the rest of the race.

I thought the D1 patch included adding Manor Marussia to the game ?.  I still have a 18 car grid even in quick race. Do I have to un/re-install the game to fix it ?.

Oh by the way 2014 mode is better than 15 as I don't have the Mercs and Ferrari drivers waving as they pass me on the straights.
