We're four races into the season and porpoising is still a major issue and so looks to be with us for much if not all of the season I'd say. So I wonder if porpoising will be represented in the game, and would we want it to be?
My guess is that a lot of players would rather not have this simulated, and that it won't be in the game anyway. It will arguably be a major handling factor missing if it isn't though.
I can't see it happening but an options toggle to turn the visual aspect of porpoising on/off might be a way to keep all players happy.
To be fair to Codemasters I'll bet adding a way to simulate porpoising into the game would be pretty complicated, particularly late in the game production cycle. I bet they've been hoping the F1 teams will get on top of it quickly to remove this as an issue actually!
Ultra the real deal? Glad you've come around to find a spicy profile pic to go with your british sassiness.
Long shot. If much, there will be some camera shake or helmet bouncing to represent porpoising and that's it.
The true value of phenomenon is in how it affects handling; by bouncing so much you're successively changing your aero load back and forth and if it persists until corner entry, you have erratic grip levels across all four corners of the car. Which is why Ferrari porpoises a bunch on the straight but isn't as affected as Mercedes, as it bounces all the way to high and medium speed corners.
We didn't even get a realistic representation of dirty air, being way easier to follow up close in the game than it is in real life, so I doubt they'll care for this bit any further than for purely aesthetic purposes or whatever.
By the way, just take a look at the whole kerbs kerfuffle in F1 2021. Even on launch, every single time I felt frustrated by spinning on a corner I forced myself to load up the instant replay and it felt justified: there was a single wheel on the kerb or on Astroturf breaking traction. Now imagine trying to simulate further ground effect when the absolutely dominant "meta" still is extremely soft springs and low ride heights.
There’s no porpoising!!!! This game is completely unplayable or There’s to much porpoising this game is broken.
As a simcade I doubt it will be in the game. Only way I can see cm adding it is if your suspension setup is bonkers
ive bern awarded 7 awards. I’ve only made 2 posts 😂 Everyone’s a winner fcol
It will definitely be a tough feature to add if it hasn't been looked at before the season start. It's probably going to be a question of resources and the style of the game...
@Maxlvlreal LOL! Maybe not if you shook your head up and down to match? 😃 Think of the immersion...
(Wow! The emojis here suck!)

Yeah, they're a bit... 😅
I'm glad the forums support normal Unicode emoji as well. Even Windows has an emoji selector these days, on Win+.

You've just made me figure out where the quote option was hiding - thanks! I'd though there wasn't one.

EA SPORTS FC™ TeamYou would go for some real realism here @Maxlvlreal, but without the vomiting :P
