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.
@Ileleee I’m running a Fanatec DD Pro on PS5. I do think there are some subtle FFB signals from the rears - I can feel it starting to loosen (and catch it sometimes) in certain situations. I can feel it change with different downforce settings - the wheel force briefly lightens slightly, not as dramatic as understeer. But I think these effects are only when turning or under accel if the car shimmies - straight line wheelspin would not be a wheel force l/r, so some vibration effect would need tobe layered on and I don’t feel that.
Not sure if a belt/gear drive wheel is quick enough to feel this, try some differences in rear downforce and accelerating in low & medium speed curves maybe. My overall force is fairly light so a heavy wheel might also mask it more. i moved up from a fanatec CSW V2 - good belt drvie wheel, but I can feel a big difference in detail.
Hi,
several questions about tyres below:
1) Does tyre core temps affect tyre wear within optimal working range (85-100C)?
2) Is C3 compound always the same? For example, hards in Canada are C3 and softs in Silverstone are C3, are they practicall the same tyre?
3) Does surface temps increase quicker with harder compounds than they do with softer compounds, if core temps are in optimal range?
Thanks again!
@taattorNo all good, i understand what you mean (i think) but from what i ever saw in the game data there is no difference in surface heating between all compounds in relation to core temp, so 100° core temp on C5s should cause the same increase in surface temps as on C1s but i didnt test this properly so dont take it as 100% save
@Meza994Thanks. Gonna test & report. Edit: what is interesting though is that while 85C core temps theoretically give 100% grip (according to great data provided by @ActuallyImJulie) the surface temps are not fully heat up and one might notice a small lack of grip until 86-87C on some low-traction corners or so.
Good morning, guys with patch 1.09 doesn't change anything about physical setup is like that?
@DavidG53Thoughts on this? https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/HUGE-BUG-LESS-FPS-EASIER-CORNERING/td-p/11750038
Handling physics tied to your FPS seems absurd. The lower your FPS the less your car bounces over kerbs.
There's an example video in the thread linked but it's easily reproducible by limiting your FPS.
Playing at high FPS is a disadvantage.
So, patch 1.09 changed the tire temperatur simulation massively again, didn't it? Well I'm sure it did, but I don't find something like that in the patch notes.
So, it feels like:
1. Tires need a lot more time to heat up again, and reaching it's stable core temperature way later. It took like 2 laps before, now 3 to 4, depending on the compound. However, this could be misleading, have to get the grip at the pressures again.
2. But when they are cold they have more grip then before. It's not like driving on ice with cold hards anymore, is it?
3. All compounds seem to be way closer together in peak temperature. Because of a sprint weekend where many SCs and weird things happened and the second FP was in the wet, I couldn't test it more properly yet.
4. The surface temperatures are way less aggressive. I don't know yet if it's up to a point where I can ignore them (which I wouldn't like). Need to drive on more tracks.
5. Generally the pressures will be way higher again, won't they?
Do the data back my experiences? I have only done a weekend at Imola yet, but it seemed to be way different than before. Imola doesn't really have a lot of high speed corners which could tell you more about surface temperatures, but that's my first impression right now
Could that be related to this post? https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/David-Greco-s-Handling-Driving-and-Setup-Q-amp-A/m-p/11689199#M10510
I find it very interesting if they made such a big update, it wasn’t mentioned in the patch notes.

@Meza994I’ve obviously done both performance 120fps and quality 60fps. And I constantly crash at 60fps.. whereas 120fps I’m awesomely awesome🤷♂️
So far I think I've only seen PC players reporting the issue? It looks like Codemasters are already looking into this but I'm curious if it does affect consoles too, and it might be good to highlight if it does just in case we might get a PC-only fix otherwise. Have you specifically tried comparing at the second Monza chicane at all? If it's a fundamental physics issue then I think we'd expect the same behaviour on console as PC but your comment above suggests perhaps not....
Holy cow, dude I thought it was just me. I definitely think there is a change in the traction. It feels a little easier.
Is there a specific way to access game files on PC? I’m on PS but gonna buy the game for kids who are on PC, and interested to look out for the tyre wear info etc myself.

@ActuallyImJuliecan you find detailed proof from game files / data? I just made a sheet of everything you sent while ago and I’m afraid all that work I have to redo again. @Wuffels great find! I didn’t notice it myself in league race on Monday, and I follow many professional forums and nobody had a word about it yet.
Same here, I made a sheet with all the data kindly given by @ActuallyImJulie too, I would like to update it but unfortunately I always need the help of a PC player to do it ☹️
