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 🙂

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.
Funny you talk about tyre pressure. The truth is that, they are actually disabled in the preview build. So wtv is happening there, is only placebo.

@Meza994Increased by 4% compared to 21. Added tyre induced drag from slip angle. The more you steer, the more drag the tyre will produce.
To reduce power at low revs is not realistic. The issue is somewhere else, but, is complicated. I wouldn't want to fake engine output to solve an issue to be honest. I agree it looks bad, but it needs to be fixed the right way.
Hi David, thank you to stay with us 🙂
Can we take the opportunity to ask some questions here?

@DavidG53Ok i didnt listen close enough to get that the transmission change was not in the preview build, that could change things too! So it might actually be more like id expect in the future build! Will keep silent about it till then, but very good to know.
Also i was more referring to COTA, a lap done by Kiefer but anyway what you say always applies.
Yeah Esports guys will always make an abomination of what the devs intended😄 i can fully understand the complexity of things especially with the mindset to make it accessible even for non esports guys. And im very familiar with the 80/20 principle so yeah, cant keep on working forever for the fine margins!
The low speed cornering speeds might as well just be due to too much track grip which i found an issue in 2021. From testing its 10% too much grip in Bahrain (3-4s) and as ive been told in the old Forum you guys use like ~4 different track surfaces. Which is very limiting in itself as track temperatures and the very materials of a track (and other things) make for different grip levels. So A) making each track have its unique track grip and B) reducing/changing them somewhat accordingly to the previous years experience might also help a lot with lap times and all cornering speeds etc..
But if youve got no time dont worry, i will bring the track grip up again when theres an official thread! Thanks again for your time and insight🙂

@NuvolarixBetter wait for an official thread. I just wanted to show I am alive and care about the community.
Ok, that’s fine 🙂
@DavidG53Yeah i know what you mean but comparing how they got onto the throttle i dont feel like the slow speed grip was the big problem but more the high speed. During my testing i would have my car spinning in Bahrain Turn 12 due to too little rear grip.
Most tracks are mostly around 4-5% too much grip from my testing, thats not too bad and the grip difference can be corrected with setups. But from what i saw we are almost at the limit of how understeery we can get the 22 cars😄 (10-1 suspension and 8-18 aero).. *Another thing worth mentioning for the less grip is: In Bahrain they run higher downforce than in all games which of course helps with the total grip. Especially with the new 1-50 aero this would be good as some might try to go with low downforce but struggle to get through the corners while too much downforce (near Hungary levels) would fly through all corners but be too slow on the straights - best would be a Spain downforce package, at least IRL they use something around those levels.
Maybe also (just my theory) its a different weight distribution-front grip balance. More weight distribution (for example 0.04-0.05 instead of 0.02 in 2021) for a balanced turn in but reducing the front grip for better cornering speed = a bit more traction/general grip. With the lower total grip it might just work but thats all guess work based on 2021 and might be wasted effort for how the whole aero balance etc. is in 22. But the too much rubbering theory might also be part of it! Maybe start with lower grip than 2021 - as they sometimes are really slow in FP1 especially without feeder series and get to a bit less rubbered in than it was.. But yeah thats all not easy😄 Im totally fine with Esports being 1-1.5s quicker than IRL, thats even realistic IMO
