Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go on track and drive a car in TV Pod Offset view.
What happens when the bug occurs? LEDs have random sections that don't light up.
What do you expect to see? RPM LEDs on the steering wheel to light up correctly without intermittent LEDs not activating.

Image is attached.

  • This is not a bug. When you play on the TV Pod Offset camera the LEDs light up the same as real life. Different teams have different sequences for the lights. For example, McLaren's wheel light up the first red and blue lights when activating DRS. Some teamslike Red Bull I think light all the lights of the ame color at the same time instead of gradually lighting every LED. 

    The bug is that this feature doesn't always work. And sometimes in some camera types doesn't work properly and the "default" light sequence (the one used by the My Team car) is used. If you do a Career Mode with Fernando Alonso for example and use the TV Pod (not the one that says Offset, but the centered one), you would see a different LED display sequence than if you do a Custom Driver Career with the same car.

    Or at least this is what I have experienced

    Yeah, this would be an iterative defect.

  • @AlonsoMoon Good to know; I wasn't aware that they went that far in-depth with it in the game.  Does that also explain why some LEDs are dark while others are on, even in the same color region?

    @GrumpsMcDumps Yep, that's the reason. It's a feature that has been there since at least 2016 which was the first Codemasters' F1 game I played on PC, but a while ago the different LED configurations worked on every camera setting on every game mode in the same way, and over the years some errors appeared and were never resolved, as usual.
