[DISCUSSION] F1® UDP FUTURE REQUESTS

Please Bring APXGP Back as a DLC/Paid DLC —

I would like to make a personal request regarding the APXGP team from F1 The Movie and its availability in F1 25.

For me, F1 The Movie was more than just a movie. It helped me discover my love for Formula 1 and introduced me to a sport that I have grown genuinely passionate about. The story, the racing, and the APXGP team all played a part in that experience.

Recently, I discovered that it was possible to play as APXGP in F1 25. As a fan of the movie and someone who has developed a genuine love for Formula 1, I was incredibly excited by the idea of being able to experience the game from APXGP's perspective and drive the team's car myself.

Unfortunately, I also discovered that access to the APXGP content was tied to a promotional offer. I wasn't able to obtain it at the time, and now I have no way of knowing whether I will ever get another opportunity to play as the team that helped make my introduction to Formula 1 so memorable.

That's why I'm asking to please consider bringing APXGP back as a separately purchasable DLC for F1 25.

I understand that promotional content can have licensing agreements and other restrictions, and I appreciate that making it available again might not be a straightforward decision. However, I believe that fans like me, who discovered their passion for Formula 1 through the movie, would love the opportunity to experience APXGP in the game, even if we missed the original offer.

This isn't simply about wanting another car or team in a racing game. It's about being able to connect two things that mean something to me: the movie that helped me discover Formula 1 and the game that allows me to experience the sport for myself.

I know I might not be the only fan who feels this way. There may be others who missed the original promotion and would happily purchase the APXGP pack if it became available again.

EA Sports and Codemasters, please consider giving us another chance to race as APXGP. Even if it were offered as a paid DLC, I would love the opportunity to purchase it and finally experience the team for myself.

Thank you for taking the time to read my request. I hope you will consider bringing APXGP back for fans who missed out the first time.

You'd have to build something yourself I presume, as off the shelf telemetry apps might not have this feature, but you can watch what buttons are pressed already so you just pick a button to press and whenever that is pressed, line it up with your recorded telemetry.

Your app could be simple enough that it just keeps the lap number and percentage of lap completed for the current driver, then store that for you to dig into your existing telemetry app.

struct
 {
 uint32 buttonStatus; // Bit flags specifying which buttons are being pressed
 // currently - see appendices
 } Buttons;

I’m not sure if this is the right thread, but I would love to be able to map a button to record a “issue” during any point of the lap - particularly in my career/ Grand Prix modes, during in a race or in practice modes which could then be transmitted to a telemetry app that is running.

use case: during a race, I get unusual understeer in one corner. I press the “issue” button to log it. Next lap, I get oversteer in another corner. I press the button again to log it.

The telemetry app can then provide me a list  of all issues logged, so I can either click into them to investigate that telemetry to see if I can spot why the issue occurred from the data.

I am on PS5 using the SRT telemetry app. Appreciate the second part of my request relies on a telemetry app creating the feature.  

Anyone know if I can do this already, or would this need to be developed by CM/EA?

Just a thought 🖖🏽

int8 m_vehicleFiaFlags; // -1 = invalid/unknown, 0 = none, 1 = green
 // 2 = blue, 3 = yellow

Please add the missing flags to the game and telemetry:

The original post is talking about the UDP feature.

​Telemetry for suspension travel, dampers, ride height, tire temperatures and so on would be great. And along with that, logically built setups instead of just minimum and maximum values. And of course, the data has to be actually usable for making setup changes. Take a look at Grand Prix 2 by Geoff Crammond. But then again, that was only made for Pentium 1 or 2.

Re-release APXGP please!

Hi all,

Could be great to have lights for start sessions. 1-2-3-4 and off.
Also Reaction time for each drivers (from off lights to 1 meter or speed over 5 for example).

Maybe an easier way to follow drivers ; like unique IDwhich could be readable or maybe writable.
Or TeamID + carID, like every McLaren of Lando Norris, each session ,could get the same ID, not depending of race number or online ID ? Could be cool for live championship in leagues.

Thanks for asking, 

Cheers

Hey EA,

1 thing with the new seasons 2026 DLC that would be a much bigger boon for me is that in season mode, when you finish a season and launch into a new season, if at that point you got to choose if that 2025 season became 2026. From the release notice about season 2026 it appears that the 2026 and 2025 seasons are dealt with completely separately in game, and for those of us with multi season campaigns on the go it wouldve been so much more preferable to have been able to make the next season 2026 rules and maybe.... loose a step, or even all research for the next year and have a couple more engine suppliers step in. 

Hi maybe a suggestion for multiplayer. You cant play with a team. Is it posible to add this in the game!?
