mikyesposto95 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 if turkey had been announced two weeks ago, before the announcement of the game, we would also have had turkey circuit in the game (a bit like imola and portimao), Codemasters would have released a post launch patch with turkey circuit. Codemasters is very unfortunate with all this chaos of the tracks and the cancellation of the circuits that happens during the current season certainly does not help the codies.

AndRe5550148 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I think there is a very small chance of that. Even Imola, Portimao and Jeddah will not make it on time, let alone add another track. According to the leaks, there were supposed to be two historical tracks, maybe Turkey would be one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincenzo19 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 They've no excuse for not implementing Turkey IMO, the other new tracks to the game arent available at launch anyway.

Nightfire1964 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I doubt they can just use ea recourses just like that probably no one has experience with the ego engine from ea and to train that person isn't a quick easy task. They have explained it takes about a year to make a track so I doubt with current circumstances they will be able to get it done in the 2021 life cycle. Remember these are strange times and game development is not an easy task especially in these current work environments I would rather they just carry on focusing making sure there are no bugs and they try not to crunch.

Yeah I know. I think there is a remote possibility for it to happen. But given that these games are annual releases and the Turkey track even with a slightly larger dedicated team working on only the Turkey track it would probably still take about 6 months to build, that would put it in a release window sometime around October/November/December, by which time we would be way too close to the next season (and game) already for it to be worth it for them. But I'm holding on to the remote possibility. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CptBalloonhands Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 They used laser scanning for Zandvoort and it still took them forever to build the full track. Laser scanning only gives you the track in high density. They then would need to manually trace over the high density geometry and build an optimized, game-ready version of it, UV map all the surfaces, texture them, add collision and physics properties, set up TV cameras, train AI, etc. That is why it takes so long.

Many of the tracks in F1 2020 are very outdated/inaccurate in terms of kerbing and track elevation etc. It would be great if they could finally update all of them with proper laser scanned versions.

Byłoby wspaniale, gdyby w końcu mogli zaktualizować je wszystkie za pomocą odpowiednich wersji zeskanowanych laserowo. Some journalist from sky sports said that they allegedly had laser scanned before the Grand Prix and it was possible that it was for F1 2021. You are right they are old. They had laser scanned before F1 2020 but brought theirs into the game. They said they had better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schneehase Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I second this, Turkey circuit should be in the 2021 game, because meanwhile this is the 2nd consecutive season IRL F1 is driving there.

ragequit1 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 F1 2021 is the officially licensed F1 video game that replicates the ORIGINAL schedule that FIA announced for F1 2021 season. We will get the additional tracks that are part of this year's official calendar. Turkey unfortunately was NOT on the official schedule. That being said, we have no insight whatsoever on what type of agreement was signed with F1 and the game developers/publishers/stakeholders, there might be a clause that would allow a track that's previously not featured on the official calendar, however I highly doubt that will happen, considering the unusual circumstances and events that took place in the past year, plus the constant changing health measurements that would require a site survey for each track that's being added to the calendar due to the original track unable to host the F1 event.

I have read both of these arguments ever so often. While either of them are true, that is just one part of the story: Codemasters have stated on several occasions that adding the surroundings about a circuit, to make it look "real", would be very time consuming. But if you had the chance, to race on a Turkey track without trees, without buildings, without grandstands, would you rather take it and find your braking points and see how racing on that track would be, or would your rather renounce it completely? Now I understand that if you are a publisher, you will not want to sell such an unfinished product (ooooh wait, they were going to add tracks later during the year, were they not...), but if we had the oppotunity to use some kind of in game editor, sorts, to load also the unfinished tracks and play on a blanc track if we preferred to, I would for sure take the opportunity and drive there. I tend to focus the streets and other cars a lot more than the surroundings anyway... Besides, as for the laser scanning staff health argument, dont you think FIA or F1 management has very good data available concerning their race tracks? Dont you think all the F1 teams have that very same identical data set, or what do you think their team simulators were based on? See, if someone really wanted to, and if that someone was EA with the license to print money, they would certainly find a way to obtain circuit data without travelling to turkey IRL. And lets not forget, we are all enjoying the drive with F1 2020 now, where hardly any laser scan data is present (yes there is some, but not even one complete laser scanned track, at least not that the Codies did let us know yet). In fact most of that track data we use at the moment is a few years old by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragequit1 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Having F1 data regarding health concerns has absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with neither Codemasters or EA. They are a separate entity with their guidelines and policies regarding safety and health procedures. Also, you are mistaken that any F1 team has any obligation to provide any data to a video game developer company. There is a reason why F1 teams are secretive about collected data for decades now.

Needless to say, not buying the game either, if the 2nd consecutive year IRL circuits are not in the game, there is no point then, you can just play any other old iteration of the game instead.
