@ScarDuck14 Wow, you fixed my calibration, had to build up to it, but I'm doing low 12s on Canada again now with Medium TC from 15s with Medium TC and whilst I still have some squirming on throttle, but your advice is sound, it's comfortable at least and I'm getting pretty good bite out of the final chicane, before I was hitting the pit wall when going on throttle, no longer doing that, just need to dial some corners in sector 2 in, like the chicane after the first sector beam where the first DRS starts, lose close to half a second to my best lap from matching first sector then because of that I carry it through to Sector 3 where I lose 3 tenths to my PB so best I can do so far with your settings is 1:12.1xx, but it's certainly an improvement on feeling the throttle

@Rapheal629 Nice!! Glad it helped. Compared to previous games I’ve hardly touched this years. But the time I have spent on it has been playing around in the settings menu.
As these game always take a few months to get patched to a point where they have fixed most of the worst bugs. I don’t bother actually playing. I’ll put a couple off hundred hours in the settings menus and also starting a my team career doing a few races. Delete and restart picking a different engine and selecting different starting options. So when game get sufficiently fixed. I have settings dialed in and what direction suits me better when starting my proper play through

- Rapheal6292 years agoNew Scout@ScarDuck14 I haven't put a lot of play through this one yet due to being in Canada for the GP literally a week after the game released to which I felt if they just tuned out the pointy front end, I'd have probably have done a season of Driver Career by now by how the grip felt on throttle, I actually liked it, but as soon they messed with the handling it hampered the on throttle on my settings, I was like: "Uh oh, not again, F1 22 unpredictable traction again", genuinely felt like I was playing an iteration of F1 22, then applied your calibration and it suddenly went back to F1 23 which I liked so it finally feels like I am not on ice anymore, but have decent pace still, just need to look how this now translates in a race pace vs AI where I'm not bogged down by TC Full. Still think they're a bit OP in Saudi S3, no matter what I do, back straight, blast past me even though I'm engaging Overtake button, probably too draggy I guess or quirks with the cars, but I need that for stability in the sweeping corners.
It's interesting that you wait until the game is sufficiently fixed before a proper play through, how do you gauge when the time is right for you? Codies, I'm afraid don't have the best track record of having stable F1 games. I sometimes wonder how it is that they fix some bugs one year and then the next game comes and they're back again, it's as if they use an old repository version then build upon it hence it has old bugs in the next game. Did the dry tyre on a wet track thing happen last year? That in my eyes is unacceptable, I'm sorry, that should've been squashed before release- ScarDuck142 years agoLegend@Rapheal629 Bugs come back because they were not fixed in the first place. Depending on the bug. Sometimes they add a game script or cheat to make it look like the bug is fixed. other times they disable features.
How do I decide? After they patch bugs that would affect my MyTeam career: But I wait to see players feedback on here and if they have actually been fixed. While I’m waiting I will test and try and find workarounds for bugs that affect gameplay. Think it’s been so bad last year and this year is because F1 world shares game mechanics with other parts of game but due to various F1 world events having specific objectives. I’ve been told by someone that knows about coding etc. it’s possible that an event in F1 world. Say race A wet race at Silverstone. So You are locked into starting on wets or intermediates. Instead of getting free tyre choice. So when you come to race in career at Silverstone. It’s sunny and you pick your normal strategy. Only to find when race starts all cars have sets on 🤷🏻♂️. That’s an extreme example. More likely it’s caused lots small conflicts some we notice some we do.
Saudi Arabia on the back not a straight is an odd one. I will have DRS and right behind what should be much faster car. But find Ai in much slower cars and no DRS make up a second and trying to pass in the last corner.
Also I was a EA champion so only reason I’ve had the last 3 games was because EA gifted them to me. Otherwise I wouldn’t buy game until it was on sale- Rapheal6292 years agoNew Scout@ScarDuck14 So essentially they copied the logic over from F1 World and not bothered to realise that it could lock the tyre allocation for races in career, bit of an embarrassing oversight don't you think considering the Career mode and MyTeam are outside the scope of the whole F1 World ecosystem.
Hmm could be my setup then, I'm slow in S3 and they all eat me up on the back curve shall we say
