Can we have real life ai engineers voice
I'm so tired to hear the same engineer voice for each new game. If f1 manager can manage it we should be able do it too.. Once that's done, you can apply it to all new F1 games, copy pasta.

This is up there on the wishlist for me. The F1 Manager series featured real engineer/driver team radio and made the game feel incredibly authentic. It also provided variety between using different teams and drivers.
The F1 Manager game has proven that you CAN get licences to use the real engineer voices and it can be done in a reasonable file size and with flexibility for all scenarios.
I'm a big fan of Marc Priestly's media content, F1 commentary and especially his book "The Mechanic", but the delivery of information in the F1 game is quite annoying and I do find myself muting the engineer. Let's be clear, this isn't Marc's fault, and he's just delivering lines how he was asked to read them, and the script and delivery appears to be the exact same as "Jeff" the previous engineer.
Dialogue seems to be over enthusiastic and spoken like they're giving info to a large crowd rather than in the drivers ear. Real engineer dialogue is clear, to the point and not distracting. It's not a public service announcement!
We need genuinely useful information about the race, and not just constant encouragement. Real engineers deliver the laps remaining and gaps to the cars either side as you cross the line each lap. We need info on the pit window and where we would filter out if we boxed, Who is in our pit window? Are we at threat of being over/under cut? How about the engineer mention the current tyre temp values and whether they're too high or low? Fuel load? A lot of players like to play without the HUD for realism, but there is a lot of info you miss out on because the engineer never mentions them.
Also, and this has been an issue for about 10 years in the series..... Why does the engineer always say "There's been an incident on track, fortunately the marshalls have managed to clear it up and there are NO plans for a safety car" AS the safety car enters the track..... ? That was an issue before Marc recorded the new dialogue, and yet it seems like a copy and paste job on implementing the audio. How has nobody ever picked up on that?
If Codemasters really can't use the real engineers, then at least record 5-6 different voices and allow the players to choose which one they want. At least provide some variety between teams and get them to tone down the enthusiasm and delivery authentic engineer lines.
