New Fanatec Formula V3 wheel information
Fanatec has released a V3 update for its Formula V2.5 wheel with larger diameter and added features including revised controls and a larger display, avaialble now for PC and PS - XB version to come sometime later The new display uses the existing Fanatec ITM module and functions to allow game telemetry to drive the display with additional info such as times, temps, position and other data as supported in a game - Not currently implemented in F1 25 on PS I’ve found through testing that the current wheels with the ITM feature - the GT3 or Endurance w the PBME or the Gran Turismo Extreme will suffer FFB disconnects with F1 25 on the PS5 after 5-15 mins of driving. Don’t have the PC version so can’t confirm on PC I’ve posted this in the bug section earlier. Whether its on EA or Fanatec to fix is unknown, but no other titles have this as a reported issue on PS or PC AFAIK so I’d guess Fanatec will point at EA So if you are thinking of getting this wheel for the F1 series, this issue will likely be unresolved until the DLC drops or even F1 27 unless Fanatec decides to do an update or EA issues a new patch before then
Penalty, bug or no bug
In our league race, there was a situation where I received a penalty under a short yellow. Reason for the yellow was a car spun on T1 at Spa about 5 secs in front of me. I went through T1 and the yellow came out. The spun car was at the pit exit wall. I did not see it but he was getting back going. I immediately get a message about illegal passing under yellow. So a car spins, yellow comes out, that car gets passed and whomever is passing gets a penalty? If that is the case then you can't pass any car that is the reason for the yellow?Downshifting
I checked the forum and couldn't find anything about this. Asked all my guys in our league to make sure it wasn't just me having this issue. What physics were changed for downshifting aggressively at high rpms/speed? Example, I'm coming into a corner, braking lightly and downshifting quickly, but the gears don't go down to where I wanted them to be. They'll get stuck it seems. Say around 3rd-4th depending on how fast slow. I thought my paddles weren't working right. That said I did do some trial and error. If speeds/rpms are not high, I can go from 8th to 2nd quickly. If at speed and rpms up over say 10.5k ish, it will only allow a few gears down until speed drops. Is this something that changed? If so, what are the parameters for the rpm/shifting? I thought it may be because I was on TC. Seems that is not the case because others in my league are not using TC and still have that hesitation. Can anyone elaborate on this?
The streak is over Hulkenberg ! again ! why not fix the game instead.
solo race 2025 the streak is over Hulkenberg 2025 podium for kick Sauber are we really using old content played it before why put it back up again why not try fixing the game that's now broken ie : pc gamers 1000 tech still broken 12 months later after numerus posts or purple cars in invitationals and yes before any one decides to write to this post some of us like to play in f1 world invitationals so come on EA its time to fix what you brokeAI Still Overpowered in the Rain
Overall, I’m very satisfied with the Season Pack, but unfortunately, the overall impression is ruined by the same problem as in F1 25. The AI is simply unbeatable in the rain. I’m playing on difficulty level 106 (Career) with Gasly and have won races in Australia and China, among others, and usually finish in 3rd or 4th place. This time, there was a rain race in Canada. I drive completely without assists (except for shifting), so it’s normal to drift a bit when accelerating out of corners. The AI, on the other hand, drives as if it were dry. Even in dry conditions they sometimes slide, but strangely enough, in the wet they drive as if on a string—they have acceleration from another planet. Sorry, dear EA team, I don’t know how many times this was already pointed out last year!!!! How is it possible that no solution has been found yet? This really makes me angry; I would have loved to stop playing right away. In general, the AI balancing in the Season Pack is a huge problem. In the race (in dry conditions), the AI tends to be too slow, whereas in qualifying it’s sometimes too fast. And what on earth have you done to Canada? The sprint is almost impossible to finish on yellow tires. The rear tire wear there is way, way too high. We urgently need an update to fix the issues listed here.Am I the only one obsessed with this stuff?
So, I don’t know why I want this stuff, maybe so the pit lane feels more realistic I don’t know but I would like to see if anybody else would like to see this stuff in the F1 games as well. I would personally really enjoy having the ability to drive myself through the pit lane, I for some reason love when games have this feature like Le Mans Ultimate or iracing and the fact that they will let you drive yourself in and out of the garage, I feel it would make the pit lane more realistic especially giving you the challenge of having to learn to stop on your marks perfectly and drive off. Even if you could turn off the automated driving through the pit lane in settings and allow you to drive yourself, I personally would love that. Another pit lane related thing I would love to see is when you are in free practice or qualifying you can chose to just stop in the pit box for a quick and easy adjustment such as tire change or wing adjustment instead of having to sit there waiting for the crew to bring your car in just so you can take a couple seconds to change tires. I don’t actually know if that is allowed in real life but I do recall drivers having done that before and it’s something I’d enjoy. Is anybody else here with me with this stuff or am I just that one guy with some pit lane kinks lol.
Editor Improvements
Helmet customization should include the ability to add race numbers, sponsors, team logos, etc. Also, add an editor for F1 team suits, so you can add your number and name in various styles. This would also be useful when AI drivers change teams. And most importantly, make a better character editor. Not just pre-made avatars, but the ability to create a complete character with the highest possible detail. Height, skin tone, hairstyle, hair color, eye color... Just like in the FC (FIFA) games, or even better. It would also be nice to be able to dress our character with clothes from the F1 Store.
