David Greco's Handling, Driving and Setup Q&A (?)

Hi, I wonder if we may have a topic like this about the new F1 22 game like we had for F1 2020 here, it would be very interesting and appreciated 🙂 Ciao, Nuv

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.

Just wanted to say to @DavidG53 Thank you for your input and for answering so many people's questions. I for one appreciate your time and effort in helping us understand the ins and outs of this game and for being ever so helpful in general.

THANK YOU!

@AnthonyLee59 Thanks to you. I try to understand the problems and do what I can to fix them. Not just handling, but I try to help the other devs fix the problems in their dept.

Thanks David. It's good to see an involved and active dev on the forums even if you have to read some garbage most times.
On another point I don't know if the ai fast issue is console related or team, but I've just not seen this at all in career mode. That's racing with both Aston and haas!!! If anything the bettwr traction has made me faster them then in some cases. Some corners they can be generally a bit slower than what a player can do. For example last corner Bahrain I can take a later apex and get better exit speed than The ai. But these corners are scarce
Maybe people need to lower their ai? They are a lot faster now than previous games.

  @Dan78loki that is also a good point. AI are a lot faster than previous games. I think the handling is a little bit more complicated than previous years, but is more rewarding. This handling rewards driving clean, and AI is very good at it.

@DavidG53 Hey David, really happy to have learned track temps actually make a difference now (hopefully its really track temps and not just session time based🤪) but id like the temperatures to be more realistic like european tracks in summer reaching up to 50-60° same in whole America almost all year lol etc. just the correct range, Imola in spring with rain should be able to go down to 12° - when we hopefully get a bit more control over tyre temps via camber, brake cooling and the right tyre pressure behaviour (but that one is gonna be a detailed suggestion another day) which actually gives reasons besides overheating to use different pressures😉

Anyway if you would be up for changing the temperature range tracks (at their usual place in the calendar) have i could gather the data from 2019 onwards for every session so you get a good average for deciding what temps should have what probability

Also would be nice if in the future the AI are also a bit more affected by the surface temps even a semi script - higher temps -> slightly slower AI would do the trick

  Is there any point in the setup page now as I cant see any latitude really in it
  The tyre pressures have gone the way of the brake balance in the game just set to lowest
  The setup of the game has become a joke its basically on every track: 50% brake balance, lowest tyre pressures, full right/left on the camber page

    Thank you very much for this update. I did some tests on Australia and Miami and the car feels much more predictable and I don't lose the rear so often anymore!
    Also, I was able to lower the front wing in Miami and I do not lose so much speed on the straights anymore.
