Pro Season Questions and Requests

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I've been running Pro Season pretty much exclusively and have a number of races under my belt. I have a few questions I was hoping this forum could answer. Thanks in advance.
     1) Since the new patch I have to reset my custom driving controls after every race or else my wheel buttons (Voice commands and my fuel presets) don't work. Has anyone else seen this? Also why in the world are the keyboard keys (left, right) for steering active even when they aren't listed in the driving controls. I drive with a G27 and if I accidentally hit left/right on the keyboard the keyboard overrides the wheel and it gets stuck until I turn the wheel again. This is really annoying.
     2) The LED display on the wheel shows a differential lap time. What is this diff against (previously lap, fastest lap, race average, etc.)? Is there a way to change this and cycle through different modes?
     3) During certain Qualifying Sessions (seems like it always happens in Q2) an AI driver will put up a crazy time (like a 22 second lap at Melbourne). Has anyone else seen this?
     4) Is there a way to see the weather forecast for the race ahead of time? For example there have been plenty of times qualifying was clear but race is rainy. Also are you able to change your front wing settings after q but before the race? If you can't it would be nice to change the setup in Q3 (like front wing) so that if the race is rainy you don't start with a 1 front wing.
     5) Has anyone else experience stuttering about 1/2 of the way through the race. The FPS stay high (using FRAPS) but in certain corners the screen stutters and sometimes locks up. It usually takes a save and exit to resolve this. I'm running a 970GTX and have even found this to happen when I turn down the video quality to medium.
     6) It seems like Codemasters made great progress in qualifying in stopping the AI cars from pulling out in front of the player during your flying lap. But it seems like the AI often leave pit road all together and don't space. This causes there Q laptimes to suffer. I guess this isn't a question but maybe a fix for codemasters to look into.

Thank you.

1) We've had a couple of other people report similar issues but not been able to reproduce them here so there isn't much help I can offer I'm afraid.
2) The differential is to your best lap time.
3) We're aware of this bug, finding a way to make it happen every time so we can debug it is proving difficult though but we'll keep looking.
4) Unfortunately there isn't a way to see the weather for the whole weekend. You should be able to change your front wing angle even under parc ferme though.
5) Again we've had a few reports of this but it's not something we're able to reproduce. Do the usual stuff and make sure your drivers are up to date.
6) We're aware of this issue.

I'm curious @Lozzy . why is this? It was in every previous game and it's kind of an important aspect to an F1 weekend. It's cool being able to predict a wet race and taking the risk by running a wet setup in a dry qualy for later gains.
