F1® 24 [Megathread] Handling Feedback after patch v1.6

@EA_Vendcera 

Thank you for releasing Patch 1.6.

What happened to the feedback on the reduction of FFB that was raised by many for Patch 1.3? This issue directly leads to the lack of the key feature you proposed, "predictable performance across wheel," which was achieved before the patch was applied.

Why do you create a new thread each time? Handling has been a consistent and ongoing issue since the release, and I don't think it should be divided by patches. If you are going to split the threads, you should include summaries of past feedback or links to previous threads to ensure information is presented comprehensively. Since you named it a "Megathread" it can continue collecting feedback in a single thread, making past information easier to review.

The mega thread for Patch 1.3 is already locked, so what happened to the feedback raised there? Has it already been resolved or disregarded?

The handling changes have likely disappointed many sim drivers. Losing the support of sim users can significantly impact user retention. With the experience from Project Cars 3, it seems you're handling this cautiously, but personally, I am dissatisfied with the current response.

Please provide the current status of the "predictable performance across wheel" feature. Experienced simulator drivers cannot be easily misled.

Perhaps it should be renamed F2 23.

The handling is certainly not perfect there either, but it is far more comprehensible than in the F1 class.

At least the feel for the vehicle is better developed there. You can tell what the car is up to in this and that corner and where it wants to jump to.

F1, on the other hand, is almost like F1 23 again - not quite as spongy, but you can't feel where you're going. Rough or aggressive, but you no longer recognize the limits. In contrast to 1.2.

Aso, new thread, so repeat technical data^^

With F2, 2nd gear often enough does not engage when shifting down quickly despite low revs, regardless of the vehicle and regardless of whether TT or Career. Sometimes you end up in 2nd and then accidentally shift into 1st and over-rev the engine or end up in neutral.

I should be more specific. The driving experience, even in the premier class, is currently pretty good. I'm not really fast with my standard setups and can't keep up with the super sprinters by default, but despite all the inconsistencies, I've had the most fun driving of all parts of the CM F1 series so far, with the exception of 1.2, where the physics were really rough, but the FFB on the steering wheel was really good.

Well, the handling for me was from the Beginning Quite Strange.

For me, what needs to change is that the Car is not so reactive. With the Default Setups It's ok but not great, and with the custom setups that you need to drive to be fast it's not driving like a car, and it shouldn't be fast. It's so bad that I can't even drive the game properly because the car is way too reactive. I drive the CM games since 2013, and it's never been that worse before.

All the Other things like gas input, Brake input and the way they're handling, that's all Fine. But the Only thing for me that's needs to be fixed is that the Car shouldn't be so reactive on Steering input with the Custom Setups, especially with the maximum Front and Rear Anti-Roll Bar.

To me, who plays on Ps5. I feel like still you can’t touch some kerbs at some circuits like sector 1 at Suzuka, Copse (T9) at Silverstone, turn 7 & 10 at Shanghai. for the handling I feel its too sensitive and you just spin out even with minimal input. And it also still feels like the car is still floating and there is a lack of rear downforce/grip overall. And I still get wheel spin up until 4th gear.

I can't quite put into words why I feel this handling model after 23 is so much of a downgrade. I'm usually a top 500 time trial player (PC, Fanatec DD) so I hope it's not a skill issue.

The car doesn't feel like a car. The front end to back end grip doesn't feel natural, the turn in doesn't make sense etc. It's possible to learn to drive this model fast, but it doesn't feel like driving a formula car.

nothing has changed on the curbs and the tire pressure, everything is unchanged... you can make another three thousand changes by having a pre-set track, the air and the fake ambient temperature are of no use. You must at least realize that the environmental simulation is essential in a game of racing especially in F1. 

I also have the feeling that nothing has changed. Or at least not in as big way as it's been hyped. The handling model is much better than what it was at the release, but it's still horrible. You can slide as much as you want, there will be no consequences after that. You're actually faster when you drive like a *, and yenk the car all around the track. From any view, it looks ridiculous. It looks like a stupid idea. You have a ridiculous amount of traction everywhere. I just can't understand the reason why? But for real, who thought that it will be a good idea? Did somebody tried it out before release? The ERS system is unrealistic. I almost can use full of my ERS, and i can recharge it in the same lap. And yeah, i know, we, the community asked for the multi functional ERS, but not in that form. Hell no. The curbs? They act strangely. In the fast corners, if you touch the inner curb, it can spin your car. Maybe that's okay, but what's the matter with all the big curbs, like sasuge curb, etc? You can jump all over them. They just there, but that's all. No reason to exist.

You know what, guys? I've been buying your games since 2011. I'm a hardcore fan, i have been with you ever since. But the F1 24 is like a Need For Speed Game. It just doesn't feel realistic at all. It's just not! By having bunch of surrealistic stuffs, it's unenjoyable. Sometimtes i feel like you made the game for controller players. But i don't know why. You should listen to all the constructive cricism. We are not against you... we are with you.

I'm officially giving up on F1 24. The drive is just unreal.

I'm using a moza wheel by the way.

Time to finally try iRacing and if it's better lime they say I'll not come back.

If not, I'll stay with F1 23 until there are online players in there.
