Flags, Car failures and penalty system

Recommended Posts

So many weeks on since day one ownership and F1 2015 for me has been a double edged sword.

I really like the game it's got huge potential but is yet so far from being perfect.

We all know the many many negatives and we can all hope that CM will still offer to support the game and iron out those many problems to give the end user confidence on future purchases.

This brings me on to a few more game items firstly the flags ok we have:
 
Yellow how come we don't have double waved Yellows? 
No restrictions to slow down or get penalised?
Just a no over taking which seems to be hit and miss especially online.

The Blue flag this is a catastrophe simply put it may as well be a country flag that everyone waves at as the AI just laugh.

No Red flag that I have seen? Is Red in the game? Race stopped etc

No white flag that I have seen which could indicate slow moving vehicle which for eg can be retiring F1 car or other slow vehicle which sadly aren't in this game eg ambulance etc. this would be damn handy online as many a time I've encountered miss daisy on a Sunday drive.

Black flag instant DSQ ghosted car. Which is in the game

Half Black half White flag unsporting behaviour. Which is in the game.

No Black with Orange circle flag to indicate potential car fault unknown to driver that may cause harm to driver or other drivers (See Car failures)

No Yellow with Red stripes to warn drivers track surface ahead is slippery or debris present. Many bits of front wings get littered which would be handy ala Monaco!!

Car failures I'm yet to experience an actual failure had punctures and replacement front wing had the smoke out the back but not seen a single car failure.
Are car mechanical failures actually in the game? This would be good with the Black a Orange Flag mentioned above for unaware oil leaks etc or fire etc. especially if in the nose or front camera views.
 
The penalty system why oh why haven't we got a drive through penalty or stop and go penalty system? This would be so much better especially online.

Lastly the safety car yes the marmite safety car, surely this is a must or at least the VSC?

Crikey if others don't want it especially with the glitches on online racing just have it as yes or no option in the lobby but the damn thing is almost in the game heck I can see it at every sodding starting grid!!

Please support it CM and get the Iron running out the glitches, crank up the turbo pressure as you have a potentially good game underneath that sadly came out the factory in its primer.
