F1 RPM LEDs BUG

Why do the RPM LEDs in player-controlled cars light up differently than in the original cars? In F1, F1 World, and Konnerspor cars, the RPM LEDs start from the beginning (green, red, purple). The original cars don't have these green RPM LEDs. They start with red. Instead of the green RPM LEDs, there is (should be) information about the DRS zone and activity.

 Fix this so that the player's car has the same RPM LEDs as the original car. This only applies to F1 cars, as F2 is fine. Green RPM LEDs can be used there.

    This bug also occurs with one of the original drivers: Colapinto. These errors are visible in Career, GP, and Time Trial modes.

     

    I also noticed that in Career mode in Season 2, when new driver Paul Aron joined Racing Bulls to replace Hadjar, his green RPM LEDs were also lit. This is also a bug.

    Just had a chat with their representative and told him the entire thing with screenshots, lets see what EA will do... Hoping it'll be fixed in the future update or hot fix...
    You should also open a ticket, maybe this way they take it seriously...

    Update 1.24

    The issue persists. It isn't even being investigated by EA. Why?

    When playing Career or Time Trial modes, we always see the FOM car's RPM lights instead of the authentic ones found on the actual cars. This needs to be changed so the authentic lights are displayed. The FOM car itself can keep the FOM lights (or you could add an RPM light editor so we can customize them however we like).

    Update 1.25

    I can confirm the fix for Colapinto's RPM LEDs.😁

    This is not a bug. Different drivers/Teams will have different LED displays and sequence preferences, and some will often leave out the Green lights at the beginning to be used for other functions, such as lighting up for ERS/DRS status.
    Not everything is a bug!

    I’m referring to the first five LEDs. No one uses them for RPM anymore; they’re used for other things instead. The game should reflect this. I don’t want the green lights on my steering wheel to be on while driving a real F1 car if the AI’s lights aren't on. The same applies to the F1 World car; those initial LEDs could be put to different uses. And you're right—everyone has their own way of utilizing them. They could indicate the availability or activation of an overtake mode, or DRS/SM status (as most do, though there are exceptions). Ideally, EA would replicate the specific preferences of each driver and team—much like how players in *FC* can wear different boots, the LEDs here could light up differently. Best of all would be the option to customize these settings within the game. We can dress up our avatars, yet we can't configure the LEDs on the steering wheel.
