F1® 24 - Patch 1.3 Discussion Thread

It's funny that I dont have ANY of the handling problems people are mentioning after getting my basic setup right and adjusting for different tracks.

You cant use basic F1 23 setups in this game...THEY DONT WORK.

People who are complaining about the handling being trash and wont post a setup if I was CodeMasters I wouldn't listen for 5 seconds as there is no reference point to relate to.

Just the same ....it's BAD fix or Im not buying!

How are they supposed to fix it with no INFO?  How are they supposed to Test what ALOT of people are saying? This makes no sense to me.

How about some info for the Testers to help.

My little bit of feedback for what it's worth, I race zero assists

1) Since the last patch, the FFB (especially out of corners) seems to have been reduced?  On release I used to fight with the wheel out of the corners, it was great and very ACC/iRacing like, you felt everything and the wheel felt solid, now it just feels lighter, you can't catch a snap.

2) Braking under heavy braking zones (turn 1 Bahrain for example) is very inconsistent, one lap you'll be fine but the next the rear just goes, no mater what you do.  ABS off is definitely harder now and I really don't want to turn it on, people with ABS off should be rewarded not made to slip and slide (and I'm experienced)

3) The rear of the car goes/slides far too easy, I can't for the life of me imagine that this is normal

Point 3) is setup related.and probably easier to find at 2)

I am one of the People who spend a hell lot of time making and building setups and now the car basically is still understeery even when i attempt to make them Oversteer its just not Working and instable. In fact i made over 30 setups even if i adjust them its understeery and when im 5 -10% throttle giving the car drives straight rather than making the corner. If you like understeer its good for you but the Majority just doesnt like those not Grippy and understeering cars. 

When you can’t make an simple hot fix from some problems?  Can’t play career cuz the wet tyres issue …

One of the things I think needs looking at is tyre pressures vs performance, as it seems the meta is to use very high to max pressures in races for best tyre life and to lower temps, but the cost of doing this on performance isn't nearly enough at the moment. No one should be able to run max pressures and be anything like fast enough really, there's a reason in real life why there is a minimum pressure set by Pirelli, because they know the teams want to go as low as possible (also why they sit in the pitlane in qualifying, so they go even lower still).

This for sure. 

I'm an ok driver at best. I picked up F1 24 fairly quickly and it was fine right at release.

I use the setup on the Sim Racing Setups site. As soon as the patch dropped, obviously I knew changes would be required but didn't want to wait, so I raced that day, and it was awful. All the issues with traction out of slow corners were on point, I sucked big time. 

Then the dude from Sim Racing Setups dropped the new setups post v1.3 patch, and I love it now and feel like I have more traction out of slow corners. 

I'm too much of a casual fan and don't know anything about setups to speak definitively to anything, but all I know is whatever setup I'm using seems to be on point.
