F1® 22 - Patch 1.10 Discussion Thread

So, I recently tried the patch out, and there are things I definitely need to criticize:

• The AI are still way too fast. I recently put up a post in which I stated that the player has way lower levels of grip than the AI, which therefore makes the game harder, because the AI can plow through several turns with full throttle while you are restricted to lower cornering speeds, which makes keeping up with the AI insanely hard. So in order to compensate this, the AI levels need to be recalculated, so that they are 10-15 levels slower than now, so the player can somewhat keep up on their desired AI level. Another way would be to give the player loads more grip and faster turn-in, so the player can keep up in fast, sweeping turns, but this requires rework on the handling model, and I don't know if the devs want to bother with it again.
• I don't know why, but Parc Fermé doesn't work anymore. This is a rule breaking game bug, because it allows you to change the setup before you go to the Formation Lap, giving you a huge advantage if Qualifying and Race have different conditions.
• Front wing damage still has a too high impact on the performance. On some tracks, it's fine, but if say an AI suffers minimal damage out of nowhere, they instantly pit in for a new wing. This is not F1 2021, so the effects of front wing damage need to be reduced, especially for Monaco, because Monaco in F1 2021 was pure horror with a damage model where minimal damage feels like you don't even have a front wing.
• Portimão and Shanghai are still unavailable to be used in Career Mode from Season 2 onward. Honestly, I do NOT understand why you guys even bother to get the license for the track, but refuse to insert it into Career Mode. It's not so hard, put Portimão in after Imola, just like last year, and put Shanghai in after Abu Dhabi. Done. This would make Career Mode a lot more interesting and give it more variety, because we had China in Career Mode last year as well, but only because 1. It was planned in the original calendar for 2021, and 2. It was part of Braking Point, so it was a neat bonus.

If you're reading this @jenny_a_m, please think about it and let the devs know, especially about the problem with the two new tracks. That would help us a lot.
