Re: F1 22 Blue Flags and Damage model

@TimeXjunkzZ5154 At a loss for the blue flag bug. Havnt seen that yet🙄

As for damage. floor damage will only show up on your Mfd you’ve hit it hard. I mean really hard. Either through a crash or bottoming out on a sausage.

As for the engineer: He don’t care and will only give you when he feels like it and that information is generallly wrong or late.

The damage and engineer issues have been like that for the last 3 games at least.

So options are not great but. Call him and ask your vehicle condition trying not to crash whilst looking vehicle condition. He will give you accurate info. Whenever you think you may have received floor damage. As you’ve already done and have a look for yourself. But bare in mind just because your car looks damaged it more than likely be minor and won’t effect performance. And even if it does your only option is to struggle on like real F1 drivers do. Or if it’s to slow or to hard to control. retire and reduce unnecessary wear on engine and gearbox.

And lastly Ai I’m sure no longer suffer from performance and handling issues f they damage their underbody. I believe they have damage set on standard. They used to be on whatever we set it out. But many ai cars kept crashing out when game was released. Faster ai cars would often crash into the back off a slower damaged car. So if you decide to keep damage on simulation you are only handicapping yourself. Personally I prefer a even play field. Still keep damage rate set to simulation otherwise you’ll never see a safety car.

Bonus tip Also tyre carcass temps. Ai are now set to surface only. If you Havnt already I suggest you do the same. Or the ai will be op at races where managing carcass temps is crucial

Not great choices by any means but it’s all I’ve got. It’s possible the issues will be fixed. But not until F1 23

  • F1 2021 Better game play, with blue flags, rain, safety car and real damage. 

    I have played F1 2022, and I hope they fix issues with patches. I have done half a race and went vack to 2021.
