Re: Why change starting procedure from good to IMPOSSIBLE TO GET AWAY? UNNECESSARY

@zed08je0ot2v Do you use TC or not? Because without it is almost undoable IF you keep the “optimal” revs. The optimal is simply way to low for turbocharged engines with the ERS. When you pull away at those revs the turbo isn’t spooled up in a good window, hence all the torque releases instantly when you push the throttle to fast or hard.

Plus I have watched lots of start procedures on F1TV with the onboard cams, the procedure and rpms haven’t changed this radical in real life. Starting rpms are almost to 100% identical in real life. Ingame the starting “optimal” revs are almost too Idle RPMS, where last years RPMS were close to real

So there’s no excuse to suddenly change it ingame unless you built a new handling model and somehow managed to break the starting procedure.

    @JasVerstoppen038 Yes, no assists whatshowever.

    Again, I'm hoping the patch will fix this. If not, I'll have a closer look at a real life vs. game comparison. Let's give David and his team the benefit of doubt.

    @JasVerstoppen038 Completely agree with you - I play without TC as well and starts are broken. Optimal revs are way too low and I'm losing positions easily playing career but especially online vs players playing with TC. Like you mentioned with "optimal revs" after lights off it's really hard not to lose control over your car, either you spin or lose lots of position accelerating slowly and trying not to spin... I checked the onboards too and it's like you said, drivers are keeping quite high rpms.

    I thought it was me doing something wrong even though I didn't have problems with manual starts in the previous games, but seems like it's simply broken for now. I will try to make some starts with higher rpms to see if this will help, but still it should be fixed ASAP.
