Take it away people. What would you like to see in Codemasters third Formula One offering next year.
safety car, warm up lap (formation lap), podium
From what I see in online videos, there needs to be way more telemetry and way more in-depth tuning capabilities.
My wish list
Safety Car - I'm using as an example what happened with me at Suzuka. I get away from pole pretty well and Vettel slices up my inside in the 1st corner, spins me and him and takes out about 5-7 AI cars with him! I got back on track ok but with 3 cars out on the spot and debris all over in real F1 that is Safety Car!
Podium - I have just won Monaco, Belgian, Italian, British, Whatever GP and all I get is a Post Race Press Conference????
Working Manager - All she does is sit there!!! I should be able to tell her "McLaren is my favorite team, so I would like to try and get a contract there, and for more than one year". Or do it so you can tell her which teams to target for you.
Failures - Shifting from 7th to 1st without braking SHOULD blow the engine straight up! Not spin me or just slow me down. Would also like to see failures that I can't control. Suspension braking, brakes getting too hot and exploding/failing. Front/rear wings fall off/collapse
Team Mate Set-Up - "X is quicker than you in all 3 sectors, lets take a look at his set-up and see where we can improve". Ermmmm I would but I can't!!!!
More Pit To Car Radio - I want to know what is happening 5 cars behind me strategy wise, and upto date weather as I can see the sky getting dark but need to know if rain is due etc.
Detailed Press Interviews/Press Conferences - 3 answers to one question that don't affect your team reputation etc. I would like it if in the paddock you was asked, "A nice easy win for you today. Driver X says that you did (whatever)" and then you can select a answer that either cheese's him off and makes him your rival for a couple of races, negate the claim so noting happens, or you say yes I did do (whatever) and your team reputation gets affected as you have admitted doing something unsporting etc.
Parade Laps/Slowing Down Laps/Parc Ferme - F106 had Parade Laps, why can't "Next Gen" consoles. Also, you just win/finish on podium, so drive round and watch your driver wave his hands to the crowd's etc and pull up in Parc Ferme in either allocated slot 1, 2 or 3
Paddock Walk Round - You could build this into more, detailed Career Manager. You walk round to other teams garages and hand like a CV into teams you want to move upto etc. Eg, Year One, you with Team Lotus and you decide just after mid-season you want to move up to midfield so you go to teams like Williams, Force India, Sauber, Toro Rosso and put yourself forward to them teams.
Driver Transfers - FIFA games transfer Rooney from Man U to Chelsea so why can't Webber move to Renault
Number One Car - You sign a contract for a "Number One" driver but you end up using the "Number Two" car. In my second season at Lotus my contract was for Number One driver yet I got assigned Heikki Kovalainen's car and the Yellow camera and not the Red one! I am lead driver, Give me that car, and that side of the garage! Right side (the one you use now for F1 2010) at Turkey/Brasil, Left when at clockwise circuits or which ever way they do it in the paddock.
Spend Money - Why show me my earnings if I can't spend them? Use them to unlock classic cars (Ayrton Senna's McLaren Honda MP4/6 or Williams FW16 etc) or classic tracks to race them on (Jerez, Kyalami etc)
That about sums it up for me.
Teams usually chose you, you dont chose them (correct me if im wrong)"Paddock Walk Round - You could build this into more, detailed Career Manager.
