Interesting read about the new game in relafjon to its track content. jalopnik.com/f1s-scheduling-changes-are-still-messing-up-f1-video-ga-1846788592They already had Turkey back in the early days of the franchise and the layout hasn't changed so I don't know why they couldn't use that as a base and just tweak it for this year's game. Mugello was always due to be raced this year so again no reason why they couldn't include it. It seems the sprint qualifying format is not gong to be included either. |

Come on then.. who has the game and whats the general feeling about it. I've seen a fair bit of negative comment so far and was surprised to see no classic cars or new tracks included is that correct? I thikthe new tracks are due to be added as with an update based on the link I posted above but it does seem odd to not include them at release.

I thikthe new tracks are due to be added as with an update based on the link I posted above but it does seem odd to not include them at release. Current F1 and F2 cars only at this point. No sprint qualification. I have a few reservations. 1) The wheel settings and calibration settings leave a bit to be desired. 2) The FFB can be overpowering. I've turned it all the way down to 25 on the overall strength, and I'm still fighting with it. So far most of my complaints are with the lay out of the UI. These should go away with experience. Positives at this point Beautiful game. I have been able to really get a sense of speed. That has not always been the case for me. Driving this game is like a bright sunny day compared to the dark murky night that was previous F1 games. Even though the FFB can be a touch on the strong side the ability to feel the track is much better defined this time around. I'll admit that the RPG gamer in me is excited to play the story line that they put in the game. "Braking Point" The My Team aspect is easier to understand for me this time. I'm not sure if it is because I am just better used to it or it's actually been improved. Those are my thoughts at this point. I will be updating my thoughts as they are changed by the content. |

The My Team part of the game is a lot easier to under stand for me this time. I went back and looked at 2020.
I like this lay out much better.
I feel that, if you are not as confident about tuning your car 'My Team' can help with this. It's helping me.
In 2020 I never made it past tier 3. I passed 6 last night.
Over all, I like this game. It is quite a bit of fun at this early point. I also see a few areas queued up for improvement with future releases. Weather it be DLC or patch I hope that EA and Codemasters realize that they can continue to make this good game even better.

I barely played F1 2020, completed only 9 laps. Mad considering how much play time the previous versions used to get from me. But it's more a comment on my dwindling interest in real world F1 than the game itself which seems to have really improved quite a bit over the last couple of years with career in particular having much more depth. The lack of an F1 league is also a reason why i've not really got into it again.
It's also the fact it doesn't really align with the real world F1 any more with the ever changing calendar so you can't mirror the real season any longer.
I still may pick the game up but i'm watching out for when the extra tracks are being released and maybe will go for it then.

I just found this at racinggames.gg/"F1 2021 game has launched with much of the calendar as it was intended. Including the now cancelled Canadian, Australian, and Chinese Grands Prix.
However, in a free post-launch DLC Codemasters will be providing Imola, Portimao, and Jeddah for players."Lots of good information there. |

Yeah also a thread about it on the Codies forums just no confirmation about when they are to be released. Not sure why the track changes at Melbourne and Spain have not been made either, that's a shame as would at least spice things up a bit at those tracks.

Honestly, I'd be interested in a F1 2021 league here if my schedule permits it. I bought the game the day it came out and, honestly, the extra bits concerning the handling (can't really use the curbs anymore I guess) makes it that much more 'realistic' for me. Granted this is my second attempt (starting in F1 2020) to bring Ford back to F1 with the Ford EcoBoost F1 team and we're running Renault engines.  |

Anybody else experiencing a loss of FFB during sessions? Karl has found this to be a problem which would be a bug that would have to be fixed before any consideration could be given to online play.
Not sure whether there is enough appetite for league play with it but we'll certainly keep an eye on it going forward.

I have not had any issues with the FFB loss at this point.
I have had the game shut down after I finish up a chapter on Braking Point.
Goes into a load screen and "Poof" no more game system. Shuts the entire thing down. (Series S)
I will be on later today after rehersal. I will update then.

Should be getting the game on Monday although I’ll be away for a couple of days so won’t get a chance to take it out for a spin until Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. I think it might actually have arrived already, birthday gift from my daughters but it’s being hidden until Monday lol.

The update they recently released shut off support for keyboards. Apparently they did it on purpose but didn't tell anyone. |

Same shit Kunos pulled with ACC and it’s never been answered. It’s like they don’t want to give you these little things that add to the game for some reason. |

Looking forward to seeing how you get on with it Peter, although that's not great news that they've removed keyboard support. Why?  One of the things that really put me off ACC as well, it's not like they give us console guys a discount for missing features, in fact they usually charge us more, give us the full damned game!! |

Yeah, as much as I enjoy the racing without the Keyboard support it's pointless. We will see if they put it back like they say they will. For now it's difficult to play.

Installed the game later this afternoon and just finished my first 30 minute practice session and short qualifying session. Have to say that I’m pretty impressed so far. It looks beautiful and runs very smoothly on my One X, no sign of any judders or screen tearing which did used to be a bit of a problem with some of the F1 releases for a while. The interface is nice and clean looking and very intuitive.
There definitely appears to be a more defined feel to the FFB, I could feel the grip loss as the car broke traction far better than any time before and there feel from the track was deeper. This all on just the default settings so looking forward to playing around some with it but going to get on next and do the race i’ve qualified for at Silverstone to see how the AI behave and test out the tyre wear and fuel and ERS management throughout a race.
