Can we expect more track changes for the BETA tracks in the release version?

The tracks are nicely improved, lots of nice chanes for COTA and some for Austria. The new physics model is also great, not allowing you to jump over the kerbs. But the one thing that is still not p...

@ajobling1983 Yeah that might be true, but I looked at some gameplay of 2021 Baku, and the AI already takes the corner like players, which means they always jump over the kerb.
So the AI could take the corner with the same line, but maybe should carry a little bit more speed.
Anyways, even if this can't be done before release, it would be amazing if they could change it post launch

@Tibi2199 Yes it would be great but i wouldnt get my hopes up, likely gonna be a lot they need to fix at release.. And the car performances are never gonna be accurate simply because there is no porpoising in the game - dont get me wrong i know why they got rid of it but Merc swing of performance comes 100% down to porpoising. Without it they are challenging for the best top speed, without it they are among the worst for it. There is no good balance for realistic results in the game (swining similarly).. And i know this is a personal problem haha but we know how the past releases have been.. F1 Life is probably working almost bugfree, but the rest?

    @Meza994 Yeah I'm not really getting my hopes up, I know how much Codies likes to improve their existing tracks, for example Hungaroring chicane is still incorrect in the games, for around 8 years now. (lol)

    It sucks because the new tracks they release have flawless quality, like Portimao, Imola, the improved Australia, and the new Miami track are all amazing and accurate.

    I just hate that they are spending their time with creating a track DLC, instead of updating existing circuits. I know they won't change their mind now about that, but I'm really hoping the returning tracks are at least improved a lot (like Hockenheim).

    But looking at Jeddah, it seems like they might care about updating existing tracks, so hopefully after Saudi they start working on the tracks I mentioned above, and also on tracks like Canada (especially the chicane), Mexico (the S turns are completely inaccurate), Brazil etc.

      @Tibi2199 I wouldnt get my hopes up that there is anything other than Portimao and China as extra tracks lol but yea i agree but im still not convinced that Jeddah is more than the kerb colors.. From what i saw the kerb height is still far off of real life which changes the track completely.

        @Meza994I didn't see a lot of screenshots of Jeddah, only saw a picture of the first turn, and the orange sausage kerb is at least there, though it's not 100% correct but it's not that big of a problem.

        I really hope we get those elevated green-white kerbs that can lift the whole car, and I also hope they work physics-wise, because they are a really important part of the track. If you use them correctly you can perfect your lap. But if you use too much of them then you are into the wall, and I hope it's that way in the game too.

        I know we won't get any other tracks on release other than Portimao and China, but there were some interviews where DLC tracks were hinted, and also tracks were datamined, so who knows. But those tracks could easily be leftovers from previous game, and that they won't return.

        Still, I want Codies to work on existing tracks, and not on new ones. Quality > Quantity
