How Realistic is F122? (According to an F1 Engineer)

@mariohomoh Oh I think you misunderstood. I meant via the gear comparison you can take away that Traction is very different even tho when they compared it directly it was similar. I didn't mean the gears themselves being similar
@Wollcott Yeah you lost me on the criticism over the video testing of traction and gears.
I see no reason to compare how realistic the game is if you're not running it close to the limit. The engines must be always kept at its power band (i.e. the RPM range it outputs the most power) for you to gauge the power output and tyre model. What exact gear you're in is of secondary importance since power output, tyre grip, load sensitivity and other parameters are way more impactful.
When you get those right, the gears will be way easier to nail down.
I have ACC on the PS5 too and played with it back on PS4 too, but to a considerably less extent. I'm in no position to discredit your friend's experience - to each their own - but I would not even bother to boot ACC if all I had was my Dualsense whereas F1 is arguably even more fun with the PS5 triggers than on a wheel 🤷♂️

While we are still in the mood, more crude paint overlays:
F1 2022 Bahrain GP Q3:
F1 2022 Canadian GP Q3 – some wet weather action to spice it up because why not – plus, there's Alonso 🙃
In Russell's case the team could of gear down the car for the track then his 2nd maybe the same as our 4th.
This would also help explain why the game is around 2 sec faster than rl.
- @BadMayh3m Gear ratios are fixed for the season. The teams send them at the start of the race calendar and that's it, there's no tweaking on a track by track basis.
But yeah, different cars have different ratios. Plus there are the torque curves of each engine.
At the end of the day, I guess it mostly comes down to the tyre model. How much grip each axle has under different loads. F1 22 broke new grand in the franchise as it significantly increased the number of data points in the load sensitivity of the tyres, and Greco is a dedicated workhorse. The next iterations have a good shot at being more realistic now that the underlying systems were updated like this. - @mariohomoh I did not know that!
Thanks for the info😎
