TYRE SMOKE IS BROKEN

The tyre smoke on f1 24 and f1 25 is impossible to see through and is incredibly unrealistic. In every braking zone in online lobbies, into every braking zone there is a wall of tyre smoke that no one can see through. On PC you can turn off particles in your settings to remove it from the game entirely, however on console the game does not allow you to turn particles off. It also happens far too frequently as in real life, you would only see tyre smoke after a massive lock up, whereas in the game the tyre smoke is visible in every braking zone. The solution would be to reduce the tyre smoke massively or ajust the opacity of the tyre smoke, because at the moment it is just a wall of white (doesn't look like smoke).  Or even removing tyre smoke from the game entirely until they have been properly fixed.

  • I totally agree with all the comments above. I trully believe that even on consoles there should be a way to remove the smoke if needed. For league racing it is absolutely horrendous - you literally cannot see the apexes if somebody brakes in front of you. EA_Groguet​ is this aspect taken into consideration also on consoles and adressed in the new patch? i am asking as a no assists driver. Seen that this will be handled for abs users. Please do something about this.

    Thank you,

  • I will let you know for sure tomorrow…I'm still upset by the fact that we as console players can't deactivate it from the graphics settings, I really don't understand. At the moment the smoke is very VERY HUGE. You wrote in the patch notes: 

    • Tyre smoke, from skids and lock-ups, is not as thick as before and will now fade away quicker

    I hope the "thick" becomes invisible 😂 Also because if it goes away in a second (quicker) instead of 5 seconds, it will be useless, the problem is when you follow the one in front of you! 

     

    THANKS for reading me.

    Left it a while to get plenty of running in to make sure it’s fixed properly, can confirm it’s fixed and is loads better, done a league race and racing in the pack with people locking it is more realistic and 100% better now, smoke it no where near as thick and you can see through it even with multiple people locking up and it clears a lot sooner aswell. 👍🏻
