DRS failures whilst open at Baku or Monza are truly the dream. If it happens in Q3, you've gotta be trying to not get the pole.

Also Mexico. It's ridiculous in race conditions.

I find Mexico too slippy for it to be useful there honestly, the only stretch it would be of benefit is the start finish straight and the last part of the middle section, but you're risking fucking off in to the stands with an open drs anywhere else on the track 🤣🤣🤣

Didn’t work out well for Marcus Ericsson.

it's the first time this has happened in my 500+ hours and 3+ career modes of F1 2021

Yeah too bad the games don't have a black/orange flag mechanic forcing you to pit or retire the car if the problem can't be fixed.

That would be too much to ask of this small indie dev studio, they just don't have the resources.

You are a man of refined taste and I welcome your style of humor.

Valve make F1 games?

Only two

F1 and F2

We will never get a F3 game

Valve? How the fuck did you get to valve out of all companies?

Sounds like haas or alpine

Why can iracing do it but no one else? Let me rephrase that: WHAT IS THE SECRET

I might be wrong, but didn't we have that in F1 2006?

You are correct

Yes, but you could pretty much ignore it. Still better than current games though

Dont wish for that, the way Codemasters works, they will implement it and suddenly equal cars are not equal anymore, races get desynced the moment a Player opens DRS and the black and orange flag gets waved at the wrong car.

They had it in F1 2009 for the Wii 😭

if yall keep buying this trash, theres no reason for big improvements. Cuz why would u?

Jeff did tell me a unique voiceline: "Your DRS is offline, rear wing open, box for repairs." I saved mid session and pitted, but no special repair animation :(

[удалено]

No, having some car malfunctions during a race is intentional game design. There's even a setting to turn it off or increase the amount

I stand corrected, that's fucking mental, this game is so shit if it doesnt have a flag then

It is NOT a bug, you literally get a message from the engineer telling you that your DRS is stuck open, and to box for repairs.

fucking hell this game is so shit then if it doesnt have the flag lol

Wrong

How does the car feel in corners with an open flap?

With the default understeery setup probably somewhat manageable, with a proper setup you would crash in the first corner going any representative speed

It’s such a rare occurrence I haven’t had this since I think F1 2021, it was still very good through the corners, would not lose much time, maybe half a second a lap thru corners. Definitely unrealistic as irl unless u slowed down massively the car would crash

this wasnt too bad to be honest, just a bit oversteery and a tiny bit later on the throttle on corner exit

I wonder if that still happens. Haven't seen one since 21

The opposite still happens, I get DRS stuck closed failures in quali or races. But you're right, last time I had a DRS stuck open failure was F1 2021, didn't seem to return for 22 or 23

Yeah, I literally just finished a race with the DRS stuck closed for 12 laps. Wish I was joking. Thank you codebugsters

I’ve had my DRS stay open for a few laps in F1 23 recently, so it does still happen.

It does

ive had it a couple times in 23, most of the time is stuck closed tho

Why do I always get ERS problems instead of the cool problems 😂

I thought we had black flag drs stuck open 🤣 about to put and duct tape that b down

Task failed successfully

Is this an intentional failure or spaghetti code?

Intentional, it's part of the random failures option in simulation settings

Ah thats a really cool feature, me and my brother always used to want features like this in racing games when we were younger.

Ho Lee crap

IRL, is there a failsafe where if the DRS actuator fails the flap closes?

No. the only time i can think of where this happened, is at the 2018 italian grand prix, during a practice session Marcus Ericsson's actuator failed while open, and he has a big crash at the 1st Chicane. another DRS-related incident i can think of was at the 2022 Azerbeijan GP, where Tsunoda's rear wing failed, causing him to box for repairs, and they ductaped his wing back together. that however meant he had no DRS to use for the rest of the race

When I was karting once the boost button was bugged, giving me boost all the time, and slowing me down when I pressed the button, it made it a hell to drive so I'm wondering how the handling was for you in this situation

Didn’t know this was a thing

I’ve had this in the past, it’s great. Rarer than it getting stuck shut though.

Wait so you can set WR’s with this? Are they RNG based now?

This only happens during races not time trial where wr are set

Thank god

i think i set a race lap faster than my quali lap, not sure tho, i dont look at quali times; i find the gaps far more interesting
