2 player career mode
In 2 player career mode, how will the game decide which player will be on the left and the right side inside the box? I know it's a strange question. Beacuse for example Bottas is on the left, Zhou on the right. But if me and my friend take on Sauber it seems, me the host is on the right even tho I chose Zhou to be my driver partner before my friend joined. And if I chose Zhou I should be on left in Bottas's place but my frined joins and he's on the left. So how can I be on the left?Wet Time Trial & 1 Championship
Hi, Recently started F1 24 and enjoying it, just a couple of questions - Am I right in thinking there is no time trial in wet conditions? If so, how can you practice for the race if it is in wet conditions? Also, can you only save 1 x championship at a time, so you cant even play a one off GP to practice in wet say, as it overwrites your current championship and you would lose your current standings. Is there somewhere to go to to play a one off GP race? thanks for help in advance.
AI need improvement in F1 24
On top of the issue of the AI not having retirements, etc. in F1 24 career mode, there are some huge opportunities for improvement with the AI for F1 25. Below I’ll explore some. Ai need to have the same playing field as the player - that is, equal tyre wear, equal ERS, equal fuel consumption etc. because otherwise it feels like you’re racing completely different spec of cars Ai strategies NEED more variation. It’s so boring having the, all pit within the same 1-2 lap window. We need some to do 1 stops, some to do 2, and heck even some doing 3 stoppers. More variation, keeping the race dynamic. Ai need to get track limits warnings, punctures and all other things players sometimes get. For some reason Ai currently are immune to these things which makes no sense. Ai need to make mistakes!!! We need them running off track every now and then and getting warnings, and track limits penalties PARTICULARLY at tracks where this is common IRL e.g. Austria. It is so boring having the Ai be so perfect, it takes away from any jeopardy. They also need to spin out, bin it into the wall, have brake failures (Charles Leclerc Monaco 2018 example) etc. At tracks like Monaco there should not be 20 drivers finishing every time. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO QUALIFYING, there should be crashes and lap invalidations from the Ai here too!! On this topic of mistakes, the Ai need to crash into each other more! E.g. Esteban Ocon sending one down the inside of Gasly at Monaco, this needs to happen with Ai. More human-like characteristics where they divebomb each other and the players every now and then, and perhaps cause crashes with each other, rather than all being so uniform and mundane. Can you imagine at turn 1 seeing one Ai send it down the inside at La Source of Spa on Lap 1 and taking out 4 other cars like in 2018 IRL? The drama, excitement that would bring! Knowing anything truly could happen every race, rather than it being a race between you and the half cheating half perfect all the time Ai. Ai need to take different racing lines to one another. Talk about being all the same and super boring…. When all the Ai take one uniform racing line it’s very boring. How about the Ai all take different racing lines based on their IRL characteristics? E.g. Zandvoort Turn 4 (the heavily banked left hander). Ai should NOT have such perfect grip in the rain. It is really disappointing seeing the Ai have near-perfect grip and zero sliding when on slicks on a wet track, and have almost the same pace as players on intermediates on that wet track. Not saying this would be easy, but is it achievable within one year? Absolutely. Finding a way to make the Ai more dynamic and interesting through the details listed above, would be a bigger improvement to career mode than any contracts or secret meetings feature could ever be.
General customization on F1 24 (Community issues and requests)
Hello everyone, I am putting back this post concerning personalization which has already been discussed on the Forum ⬇️ ~ Summary of recurring requests and problems on this debate ⚠️ 1. Problem with racing suit liveries which have a shiny effect on them unlike official suits 2. An extremely limited choice of liveries on F1 24 compared to other years, whether for helmets, outfits, cars. So a customization which is always present but which is almost of no use because there is almost no choice to create your driver and your team 🤷♂️ 3. A very strong demand in the community for a livery editor for helmets and cars like what has been integrated into F1 Manager in order to allow players much more creation and freedom in this system 🎨 4. An idea to set up a community system that allows content from livery creators to be shared, which could be uploaded to the community. System present on other franchises 🌍 5. For helmet customization, a more immersive customization solution would be desirable for F1. The possibility of choosing the color of the visor, the location of the sponsors, adding the driver number on it as well. Being able to integrate different patterns or designs on it could finally make it possible to make a realistic and very well customized helmet. Also valid for cars ... 🏎 6. Finally a subject that has already been discussed for a long time despite the question of FOM and licenses a choice of helmets under Official licenses for career mode within a real team. The fact of being able to personalize your helmet but in line with the team you are joining, i.e. Official sponsors on it. Lots of examples on racedepartment.com. But something that remains supervised by EA and Codemaster. A rider who signs with Alpine should not end up with a purple helmet with nothing on it. 🏁 Here is a summary of what has been discussed recently on this forum but also on the networks, many are waiting for changes and developments in personalization and among them requests which have already been going on for very many years. Feel free to add ideas to this post, I may have forgotten some. I am present on this Forum only for the subject of customization on the F1 franchise as long as there are no changes at this level or very little listening to our requests. ⚠️F1 Time trials API
Hello Everyone, I hope you're all doing well and having a great day/afternoon! I'm reaching out because i'm looking for a solution for time trials. I'm working on a Discord Project where people can submit their lap times to generate rankings within the server. Currently every lap is manually checked and verified, which is very time-consuming. I'm interested in finding an API or any method to automatically retrieve these lap times, eliminating the need for human verification. Any ideas or informations would be greatly appreciated !

UDP telemetry broken with patch 1.19?
Hi there, today after automatic update to 1.19 (PS5) I get NULL from UDP "LapHistoryData" (clearly I have completed some laps): Till two days ago with 1.18 it was everything fine like always. Useless to add I changed nothing, just turned on my PS5, got that 1.19 update and started the game as usual. Besides I'm not sure if there's something else broken yet, I will add in the thread if I find something else. Did you change anything? Can you please check? Hoobiechoobie
Career mode does not have a menu
It seems like F1 career mode is supposed to have some kind of menu in between races where you can upgrade the car and see team offers and such, however my game does not have anything like this and instead goes from the end of one race straight to the qualifying of the next. I am currently in F2 and would like to figure this out to move up to F1.Is there a manual for F124?
I'm having a problem with the difficulty setting tile disappearing, and perhaps it's not a bug, it's something else that I don't know because I'm new to the game. So I thought I would look for the manual or any help pages. I couldn't find a manual, and the help online is a joke because even after searching and clicking specifically on F124, I get a bunch of articles that have nothing to do with the game itself but instead with account issues: I love the "I need to report a real-life threat". I can imagine the user complaining "Maaaaan, that Verstappen **bleep** threw his car on me, then Stroll ran all over me!!! I almost died!!!" So seriously, is there a manual or real help to learn not about F1 but the game itself, like the settings and career modes, etc?
After almost of 100 hours in F1 24. Here are my issues with the game.
After almost of 100 hours in F1 24. Here are my thoughts. For me the game is full of issues. ISSUES Part 1: These issues happens every time with the game without fail. #1 When i press play on the steam page, the game mostly loads and then just quits and i have to press play again to get into the game. #2 When the game loads it thinks my mouse is a joystick and it always ask me to configure it. #3 When the game loads, HDR is always turned off, so I have to turn it on every single time the game loads. #4 When I quit the game I am guaranteed to get a blue screen of death. Every single ******* time. (tried looking up how to fix it, apparently it has happened previously on other EA games and the fixes they mentioned have not helped. NO other game has ever done this before. Before F1 24 I might get a bluescreen of death once a year if I am lucky) Part 2: Racing in Coop Career #5 Have had races when its raining on my friends track, the rain effects them and the other cars, but not effecting me. #6 If it rains, it will drag my car into the pits (I have assisted steering on, because I am useless without it.) So it forces me into the pits and the last race i did yesterday it made me go into the pits 6 times in a row. Why isn't there a cancel pit action or an option where i get to choose pit and the game doesn't choose. Ruins the game, ruins the race strategy, since I have to pit when it tells me otherwise if I fight it i will either hit the wall between track and pit or if I am lucky I loose lots of time. #7 AI cheats, was leading 12 laps, 4 seconds ahead of 2nd, within a half a lap, 2nd catches up, hits my rear, makes me spin out of control. Once that Happened I could never recover or catch other cars and I had no damage. And on that lap my driving was the same as the previous 12 laps. If I am 4 seconds behind a car, usually takes a couple of laps to catch up and overtake, depending on the difficulty. #8 Not sure if this an issues or more being really unlucky. I am team Sauber, first 12 races, 2 gearbox failures (it was race 2 and 3 for the gearbox failure), 2 ERD fails and engine failure. Yet my team mate has had nothing. Out of the entire championship so far the cars that have failed to finish the races, the most has been 1 race, I am the only one with 2 or more race failures (3 because of mechanical failures). #9 This is more of a suggestion than a bug. At the end of the race I get negative points in most of the categories because my car failed. Not my fault my car failed so why should i get negative points. If you car fails, you should just get points for the laps you completed and nothing else. I understand negative points, if its your fault in driving, but when the car fails, that's nothing to do with my driving. #10 Back to issues. Sometimes you can change the game settings before the start of practice and sometimes not. #11 Can't skip the "Cutscenes" like when signing your contract, half season pre talk, etc. Why? #12 Radio button chooses just not to work. #13 You go for a secret meeting and refuse it, then she tells you everyone is so happy that I refused the "secret" meeting. Not exactly a secret meeting is it if everyone knows about it. #14 & #15 Coop Career wouldn't continue because I couldn't accept or refuse a secret meeting and the secret meeting was with Race Team I was already driving with. Me and my friend had to start a brand new championship coop career because of this bug wouldn't let us progress the game, and we were in the second season. I am sure there are more issues I am having that I can think of at the moment. The only reason I can continue to play this game is because of the coop career, If I knew of another game that had that, I would be playing tha instead of this bug filled game. Part 3: Issues I am having that I forgot to mention after I posted the first post. #16 In qualifying, sometimes the car view changes from FAR view (That's the view I race in) to the next closer one for no reason. And I have to change it back when the race starts. #17 Radio says stupid things, for example, I was in a race, the last 3 laps was the best laps I had done for the race, and they set my new objective to be more consistent in my lap time, even though i have been and i have set a new lap time. I am sure everyone will have stupid new objectives that have been set that made no sense. #18 This isn't an issue, just observation. I am guessing the major majority of people that play this game are male, so it would make sense when you create your driver the default would be a male. But the default is female. Why? You would think your default character would be whatever the major majority of the people that are buying the game. I am guessing I know why. Anyway also, why does that game not default to the character you created the first time?
