F1 24 is almost excellent, but is now a tired game.

I am just a casual but enthusiastic player of the F1 series, and again I have purchased the latest incarnation, F1 24. For the most part it is still enjoyable, but yet again it falls way short in terms of graphics in this day and age. However, I can live with that and knew that before I bought the game, but it's the smaller details that are really annoying. It does make me wonder who actually plays the finshed game at Codemasters, because surely they would see and hear the same as I do! My particular complaints include the ridiculous exit from the pits when in auto-pit mode that spits you out so harshly that crashes out of the pits when rejoining most tracks are often likely; when doing time trials the game can often cause you to crash too when it releases you from the 'auto-drive mode - the times I've had to re-start the lap caused by track limit violations because of this unpredicatable behavour is so annoying. There are very limited and repetitive 'engineer' comments and advice, often intruding well out of context. Other commentary is also very limited in scope and overly repetitive and should be much, much better and up to date. Of course, I can mute most of them, but then that takes away some of the immersiveness. Also, some of the commentry being blasted out via the loudspeakers to the spectators is very, very old and used multiple times over the years with no changes! One major complaint is the 'dirty car' look after visiting an area off track. This is totally awful and unrealistic. It is also incredibly annoying when, say, I've completed an excellent (almost lol) Time Trial lap and want to record the replay so I can show off, only for the car to look ridiculously 'dirty'. UPDATE - I'm sitting on the grid at Melbourne and my car is ALREADY filthy!! WHY? !! This feature really needs removing or a way to disable it. Lastly for now, when driving in a wet race, rain does not dissipate from the visor, instead, just a few trickling drops totally unaffected by the wind at speed. Again, totally untrealistic. That's some of my complaints for the moment, and I hope these issues will be addressed immediately. Thank you. Doug G.

UPDATE! - Are you kidding me? !! Latest version now has black bits falling off the rear of cars in any slight off circuit excursion, or tap of another car. It is awful!! Totally ridiculous!! Who the heck did this and thought it looked good? !! Seriously, I'm now convinced no-one at Codmasters actually bother to play just one race !!
