I'll ask him and see if we can find a decent time where we are free for some Q&A action.
We'll it'll be David, not me. Anyone can drive in the midfield every Friday. I'll look to move a lot of the stuff we are used to seeing into EA Answers as we escalate transition.
@DavidG53 Physics seems to have taken steps as a giant but still seeing that you make a curve with 4 and 5 gears when they actually use the second is to be fixed please. It's the voice control from the ps5 headphones for over a year doesn't work.
EA Staff (Retired)@Nellix82 well, there is an update that will come with the performance update that will make the torque/power at low rpm substantially less than it is now, so it should benefit running lower gears. probably not second but 3rd, max 4th yes. 5th should be too high for low speed corners with this update. I am afraid that after this, we won't be doing any more tweaks to general/base physics/handling.
Any updates coming for Controller handling? There is a massive struggle in change of direction for pad players, 2021 steering felt very smooth, I understand the cars have changed their heavy so they will be slow in slow corners but i dont think the handling should be as choppy as it is right now for pad players.
EA Staff (Retired)EA Staff (Retired)EA Staff (Retired)I use a G29 with no assists and I like the handling overall. But getting the power down in the low/medium speed corners and race starts is my only real issue with the game. Hopefully the patch and some more practice will alleviate that issue.
I’m only on my first career race at Bahrain in an Alfa with 70 ai and it so hard to keep up without spinning out. Turns 1,2 and 4 are the most difficult to get right.
Done some testing in Interlagos. I'm sitting in the top 12% of the world which for us is good. We are up +8% on previous years performances,
I done around 80 laps. I experimented with various car setups. Every tweak changed the behaviour of the car.
I could immediately tell upon 1st corner entry and exit whether it would work or not.
I probably have the car balance at around 95%. I truly believe there is another tenth or maybe even two tenths.
But where in the setup is it?
Its like a puzzle. A battle against the permutations.
Its good stuff. Much better than previous titles. No disrespect to David G, he did the previous titles. Over time, he is advancing his craft.
Some people think the handling is broken. And they're entitled to think that. I think its good. I'm lucky, I don't have all these bugs that other people have.
I think pad users will need some help. TC values are weaker this year compared to previous titles. Newcomers might find the going tough. But a wheel user struggling.....WTF?!!
F1 22 gets a paws up from us. Its different, its challenging but rewarding.
The more you play, the better you become. That is certainly true of this game. Players need to get used to the new handling. Its different than previous years but then again that should come as no surprise seen as its a new era in F1.
@DavidG53 As you may have noticed our @Meza994 is very keen and from the year I’ve known him here and on CM forum he has posted countless suggestions that he’s obviously put a lot off time and effort and thought into. To be honest for all I know he may be just be posting tons and tons off nonsense like I tend to. But as I’m all about gameplay. A lot off his ideas: the ones I understand anyway. Would definitely enhance the experience. And unlike others that want the game to be nothing less than a pure hardcore sim. Meza knows and respects cm direction that this is a simcade.
And he’s to polite to ask: But he’s been aching to catch the attention off a dev god such as yourself. Who would be willing to atleast see if he has the right stuff. He will have you head butting your desk often but He will work for free.
@Meza994 Yes I’m this embarrassing in real life also. 😂😀👍
@DavidG53Good that you are already aware of the problem and solution, problem the AI doest like it😂 happens, if the handling model for next year doesnt change too drastically (possibly the exact same groundeffects as they will implement a minimum ride height soo they will probably not have more floor downforce.. famous last words😂) you already know what to change for better balance, but it will obviously change the balance from rear wing always being 10 more than front wing for the default setups, for the low downforce setups it would require more rear angle than compared to front wing angle than at high downforce setups buuut you will play around with the numbers yourself anyway😄
