tight sinew
Fucking hell
tight sinew
Do it
eager thunder
but wont be able to afford the car upgrades next season
gaslys contract still is for 2027
hmm
tight sinew
Oh if Gasly is still contracted
tight sinew
What year is it in ur game currently
eager thunder
December 2026 atm
@versed mantle what is max growth ?
man im reeally happy with this result
Started as underdog now a leader
@tight sinew just look at these regulations
its a huuuuge change
tight sinew
eager thunder
basicly
every partt of car
30-60%
idk if I should go merc PU or keep going redbull
tight sinew
Redbull PU seems too good to pass up tbh
eager thunder
yea...
like its almost a bit broken
also
I think that reaserch allllll year
helped
tight sinew
Yeah I’d say so lol
eager thunder
man
I legit
only developed the car upgardes in start of season
then just reaserch
tight sinew
Research op
versed mantle
<@118742785309278208> what is max growth ?
1.01 or so
eager thunder
Hmm
man this game is to addictive
for some reason
regulation change gives bonus points for pole
???
jesus
this car is fast
what the fuck have i made
not even max can fight me
eager thunder
what the fuck is this
eager thunder
Your setting the stun graphic, that doesn’t change anything
ohhhhh
WHAT HAVE I DONE
I MADE HAAS UNBEATABLE
wise flint
So that visualises the stint IF you drove at that speed
You can change your drivers tyre, fuel and ers usage before a race
eager thunder
like what the fuck reaserch is op
wise flint
Under like driving options or something on each driver
eager thunder
versed mantle
oh interesting
this is a rebalancing mod
that fixes DRS, dirty air, and such
gonna try it out
versed mantle
actually meh ill just wait for the patch this week
eager thunder
actually meh ill just wait for the patch this week
where did u find the preview of the patch?
versed mantle
idk woodsy mentioned it
eager thunder
wtf
thats wrong
im surprised that Norris agreed to 50k in payment per race he gets podium from 1m
im saving sooo muhc money
how do we know if a staff member / driver decides to to retire in emails?
Azor I legit had my drivers crash each other go back to track and finish 1 2
what the fuck???
versed mantle
oof
eager thunder
Am I spending to little money if my projected cost cap is 42m at end of season?
eager thunder
@tight sinew I had a good mid and start of season but end of season I wasnt on top of the upgrading the car since I spent more time on reaserch again but I cant lose so I guess its that (500 pts )
eager thunder
eager thunder
im actually surpirsed how good SImone Resta is
eager thunder
@wise flint The f1 manager discord really dont like the game wtf
versed mantle
there are a lot of things to dislike tbh
wise flint
<@152122976844775424> The f1 manager discord really dont like the game wtf
It’s pretty simple tbh
People who like the game don’t really talk about it much cause we’ll they’re playing it
Vs people who don’t like it as much will complain about it so more vocal
Not discrediting some of the games flaws ofc but the negative communities are generally louder
eager thunder
@wise flint one guy keeps going "play motorsport manager instead!!!" XD
wise flint
<@152122976844775424> one guy keeps going "play motorsport manager instead!!!" X...
Like two or three regulars who scream it
They will refuse to let people have fun with the game even whilst acknowledging the flaws
versed mantle
The game has mostly positive reviews on steam which is a pretty broad audience I'd think
There are some major issues. Mainly it being too easy frankly
The big problem is that the sport is really mostly about who has the fastest car
Strategy matters but.. Far less
eager thunder
whens patch out then ?
tight sinew
This coming week
eager thunder
pogg
wise flint
F1 manager update out I think
tight sinew
versed mantle
any verdicts from subreddit/discord?
tight sinew
any verdicts from subreddit/discord?
yeah its out I'm updating my game rn
versed mantle
is it GOOD tho
I almost feel like changes this deep warrant a total restart
or just me
Mostly positive comments
tight sinew
I almost feel like changes this deep warrant a total restart
I definitely am considering it
wise flint
All restart with the same team 
problem is the best teams to play with are like williams or aston 
tight sinew
Williams has been good fun
tight sinew
they fixed ez wins in the wet too
wise flint
I mean probably fine for me
since im still S1
since I went on holiday a few days after game launched
and got back yesterday
tight sinew
timed that well
eager thunder
ayeee
eager thunder
problem is the best teams to play with are like williams or aston <:KEKW:6188617...
but haas????
eager thunder
i always go redbull
eager thunder
to make haas preform
I had to do a whole reform on the team
yoinked good race engineers etc
wise flint
Wonder if drivers have been balanced
no way piastri at 75 should be out performing albon at 80
Minor adjustments to starting car performance, starting Facility levels, and board performance expectations for a small number of teams to align with their real-world performance (will only take effect in new saves created after this update is installed)
Woner which teams these are?
@rugged sparrow
General Stability
Fixed multiple crashes caused by various events, including invalid qualification grids and tyre types Fixed instance of hard-lock when changing stint compound type to a compound the player has run out of in Strategy View
Fixed multiple reported soft-locks and progress blockers in the tutorial sequence
eager thunder
> Minor adjustments to starting car performance, starting Facility levels, and b...
does this make like easier for lower teams to reach the goal then?
wise flint
does this make like easier for lower teams to reach the goal then?
Well it doesnt say which teams
eager thunder
cause I couldnt hit my season goal in haas on 2022 season
wise flint
so could even be merc
eager thunder
Yea but if we lower team I'd assume
aston,willams and haas
wise flint
williams goals were pretty good tbf
New tyres examples
Top is imola
bottom bahrain
TYRES ACTUALLY MATTER
eager thunder
oh thats pog
wise flint
Reduced instances of major garage reactions to minor race incidents, such as a car running wide
eager thunder
I was rocking softs way to often
eager thunder
will this make soft degrend more now?
wise flint
there was no reason to use softs as mediums lasted longer and had similar lap times
eager thunder
I kinda ignored that
wise flint
Sad news tho
eager thunder
wise flint
seems like lapped cars can't unlap themselves
still
but it wasnt changed in these notes
Basically playing michael masi rules
all season
wise flint
TL:DR for upgrades though
you can apparently still slide the bars far right for everything and get an upgrade
just takes a lot longer tho
wise flint
Yeah I purposely didn't tell people
as it broke saves
like if you researched everything max right side
you'd win championship next season
in any car
eager thunder
i actually spent like 90m on reaserch
and made a god car
cause i had major regulation change
on like -60%
wise flint
Someone saying tyres now drop off at 85% wear
eager thunder
so I basicly spent 70% of my budget on it
maybe they need to nerf reaserch a bit
feels a bit broken
wise flint
maybe they need to nerf reaserch a bit
It has been
upgrades and research is less impactfull and takes longer
eager thunder
pogg
wise flint
Further adjustments to car part development focus and attribute trade-offs to help balance player progress vs. other teams
eager thunder
i legit had a guy on the f1 discord add me and ask how i made haas so good
wise flint
I assume that affects research
Fixed a small hole in the car model for several cars
Leclerc: Is this a feature? Question
tight sinew
seems like lapped cars can't unlap themselves
I've had lapped cars unlap themselves even prior to the update

Guess I can give it another go when i get the chance then
Doesn't really sound like my issues though. I think for some reason the game is just causing my GPU to totally crap itself.
when i get time off and i'm home i'll have to just deep clean the pc or something i think
It still seems odd since I can run F1 2021 max graphics no issue, but F1 Manager on lowest setting causes it to crap itself. The spec req on the cards are like, 950 vs 960. So it seems like F1M requires slightly more GPU power but not really enough to make a difference. I'm actually tempted to run it on my laptop and see what happens XD
eager thunder
so u guys noticed any difference?
eager thunder
idk what team I wanna do tho
Mclaren
tight sinew
so u guys noticed any difference?
I got into fp1 on new save and it crashed cuz I tried to run wow at the same time
eager thunder
xD
tight sinew
McLaren is tempting tho actually
eager thunder
yeppers

1st race in new playthrough I'm a believer in Danny
eager thunder
1st race in new playthrough I'm a believer in Danny
tight sinew
Nah trust bro
eager thunder
i kinda wished that you had more controll over ur pit crew
not a fan over current system
would prefer to hire every single one of them like rest of staff
eager thunder
@tight sinew @wise flint my plan is to make this my future driver since gasly is getting old and might retire next few seasons
tight sinew
Lmao what circuit
eager thunder
cant remember
singapore I think
kinda regret not hiring max
he is now signed for 3 years
wise flint
rugged sparrow
ok. Time to see if my laptop can hack F1 Manager...
yeah this is gonna be a no for sure
wise flint

Wow... what a long and highly competitive season... but finally my first Constructor's Championship in 9 years 😄
eager thunder
strong hatch
wise flint
what the fuck
strong hatch
it's a mod :<

Is the mod adding real life cripples as drivers?
😭
Im gonna have nightmares

LMAO
eager thunder

Bruh
eager thunder
strong hatch
It's fine, im sure people will keep modding it
strong hatch
more available, isnt it just the same as every other games modding
eager thunder
Not sure
tight sinew
The community guilt tripped the devs into doing their job
Ok how do we do this for blizzard now
gentle charm
It's okay, the Modders will fix the game after they stop supporting it 😄
eager thunder
the devs do not really abandon games
look at their track record
some games that are 10+ year old they still supporting
rugged sparrow
I just realised. Did anyone else play as ferrari
Maybe my blue screens are part of thr Ferrari experience
eager thunder
wise flint
Omg
eager thunder
WAIT WHAT
tight sinew
I AM REVIVING THE THREAD
OK THIS IS KINDA HYPE
I might takeover AT and form the Yuki Ricciardo dynasty
eager thunder
seems like a shit offer
wise flint
Got lucky enough our tank and RL are on holiday for a week so got some free time
eager thunder
@wise flint do i buy days early so i can play this weekend or pöay next friday
wise flint
<@152122976844775424> do i buy days early so i can play this weekend or pöay nex...
Would you play on both day this weekend for a decent amount of time?
If I would just wait
Similarly if you don’t care about the unique challenges
wise flint
Early acces <t:1690470000:R> 
wise flint
no preinstall tho?
With early access I believe they have to manually push it
havent seen it first hand but the devs have an admin console to push early access
tight sinew
I see
tight sinew
wtf u hacked it
wise flint
I just googled shit
tight sinew
ik just havin a giggle
wise flint
This is what a store page looks like
tight sinew
wise flint
Shouldnt be big at all
versed mantle
hope you sharpened your ethernet cable.
wise flint
Even my shitty 60mb download should hold up
eager thunder
Imma wait for crack
versed mantle
good start
versed mantle
hmmge
wise flint
Rip
versed mantle
cheeky steam restart or
wise flint
Probably worth a shot
wise flint
versed mantle
ofc
wise flint
Just steam things then ig
wise flint
versed mantle
works now
wise flint
Yeah confused myself on the actual download
versed mantle
you download the game compressed, then you locally decompress it
wise flint
versed mantle
mine is slow by modern standards too.. 300/60
wise flint
only 60mb, i ordered 500mb a year and half ago, got a line installed but its been inactive for 6-7 months
had to escalate a service issue to their executive team asking a WTF is going on
sadly no other providers can give over 60mb but them so im cucked
versed mantle
it seems they cannot give over 60mb either..
versed mantle
close steam and reopen
and/or wait a few min
blood got it a few minutes before I did
maybe I got it a few minutes before you
tight sinew
oce debuff
tight sinew
aight we cookin
tight sinew
I wanna go McLaren I think
wise flint
going with my trusty williams again
this time I don't need to sign albon
or sack latifi
wise flint
Better than latifi
versed mantle
interesting
aston martin's abseline team rating is basically williams/alpha-tauri tier
wise flint
versed mantle
but the season objective is so much higher xd
tight sinew
that is a very odd baseline
wise flint
Guessing aston is more an infastrcture thing
wise flint
tight sinew
wise flint
Gotta sack him for realism halfway through
some f1 content creators doing a mini event thing with f123
tight sinew
some f1 content creators doing a mini event thing with f123
trying to watch while downloading 
wise flint
That's good
Before it was just like Major postivies minor negatives
and consistent growth
versed mantle
I guess I will make a new version of this
tight sinew
wise flint
Probably
but this is the fun time
where we have 0 clue
Until FP
gets mind numbing
This event theyre doing is very cool though, all start p19-p20 in equal performance cars and have to finish as high as possible
wise flint
LMFAOOOOOOO
what a question
"Ben if you were managing aston would you sack stroll now or later?"

Wait where tf did you get this from
wise flint
Jesus that was quick
versed mantle
tight sinew
Azor is a team principal
versed mantle
Crucial is 2 points
wise flint
Did you just skim every track
wise flint
Respectable
tight sinew
kinda wild melbourne is only 1 for DRS
wise flint
good for planning upgrades
tight sinew
was that the set up spreadsheet
wise flint
yeah just clearing it now
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1odlPmy8orf8cImUtfkWcBC9OywpS6wgttuhCZux6obk/edit?usp=sharing
there it is @tight sinew
need to add in sprints tho
versed mantle
ye
wise flint
versed mantle
i got distracted by work call uhhhh
pit stop training idk
just feems a lil pointless
tight sinew
Damn AT seems based purely for having Yuki
wise flint
@versed mantle Did you use that calculator for FP? and if so was it accurate?
versed mantle
i normally use one set of gearbox/DRS/engine for practice and another for Q/Race
but forgot to swap back for practice..
now nyck has lost fp1..
versed mantle
as soon as humanly possibler
but id have to buy out nyck
and im trying to spend money on car development
prep for 2024 yk
aaah i mismanaged tyres in practice too
there's now a temperature mechanic
and they seem to gain less track acclima if you run them conservative on tyres
which was a good hack in the previous game to use less tyres in practice
wise flint
and they seem to gain less track acclima if you run them conservative on tyres
Yeah conserve and super send max speed
versed mantle
p14 and p17
tsunoda is very consistent
lets try and sneak points with a long first stint and some safety car hopes
p16 and p17 :(
tsunoda had a crash
why the fuck does ricciardo want so much money
versed mantle
raid over
time to unwind
with some fucking sick floor and front wing upgrades for melbourne
versed mantle
p9 in aus quali 👀
versed mantle
I was like
"wtf did I accidentally skip practice"
then i realized its a sprint weekend
versed mantle
i suppose it is early..
7th and 9th in sprint 
P7 in the grand prix from the fries

I can imagine the interview, hello mr boi

I can imagine the interview, hello mr boi
bro first race
Logan and Bottas crash twice
once logans fault once bottas
tight sinew
I can imagine the interview, hello mr boi
lmao it gets better
versed mantle
I replaced de Vries with Zhou. It's genius
Not only did I get a reasonable driver upgrade but I also stole one of Alfa's drivers, my main competitors
They got pourchaire instead who crashed out his first race
tight sinew
so far pretty happy with the changes from last year
versed mantle
The Ai does not shit the bed in the rain at least
eager thunder
Any big changes ??
tight sinew
tyre temps seem a bit finnicky
versed mantle
How so? I find that depending on the compound you can switch between aggressive and normal and stay right on the limit
Fuel is also not total bullshit anymore
tight sinew
actual looks like it might have a lot to do with weather
track temp seems to matter a lot more
wise flint
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
@tight sinew @versed mantle why tf is the engineer happy with p1 when he's the only person to set a lap
😭
eager thunder
wise flint
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
eager thunder
Are you ferrari????
tight sinew
Literally had to retire land lap 1 of the race
Bro for a second I thought it was double retirement
eager thunder
wise flint
Anyone used ERS battle assist yet?
tight sinew
I have
tight sinew
Bit of both
Cuz sometimes I’m saving ers for something specifically
Other times I’m happy to leave it on and have them use it as needed
wise flint
See what you mean about temps tho
wanted to do an aggressive tyre strategy
but they were overheating on middle mentality
tight sinew
Yep
I do love the confidence and new tactics offered
You can really tell the difference between the overtaking and defending settings
And I think the confidence thing is cool
tight sinew
tight sinew
Better get cookin
versed mantle
I just had a race fucked because the UI got stuck on the pit timer after zhou left the pits
and I couldn't change pace or anything until I reloaded save
at which point it was too late and I had dropped like 5 positions
i rage-altf4'd xd
wise flint
Also had my second race ruined
Made a great call to stay out with pastry
After a safety car as his pit window was in 5 laps and would only need 1 more stop vs the 2 of everyone else
Then game crashed
And restarted the race
wise flint
@tight sinew
Im gonna fucking murder de vries
He smashed sargent who then collided into piastri
Literally gonna buy him out of his contract to make him a reserve drive
tight sinew
Literally gonna buy him out of his contract to make him a reserve drive
based asf
I was tossing up between yuki and zhou to replace logan
but yuki was on a cheaper contract and has better devolpment level
versed mantle
I'm tilted idk
I cannot restart the race that got fucked over by the UI bug
and all prior saves are gone
because for some reason it just overwrites the same save
hard to enjoy
tight sinew
I cannot restart the race that got fucked over by the UI bug
it just crashes again or?
versed mantle
No the race is just fucked
I was looking at giga points
now zhou is p16 after he pitted and I couldnt change his pace
its just one race but idk tilts me
points are hard to come by
tight sinew
ye I feel that
versed mantle
there is no way to restart a race in the game altogether it seems
versed mantle
dunno what to do
tight sinew
ye thats a bummer
wise flint
Gonna have to just ride it out ig
versed mantle
oh well zhou crashed out anyway
guess I'll tell myself that both cars would've crashed out regardless.
why am I forced to watch the race if both my cars are retired xd
tight sinew
why am I forced to watch the race if both my cars are retired xd
thats just cruel
wise flint
Ive got the best mental reset
you had a stroke mid race
and had to be carted off to hospital
thus cannot make the calls
tight sinew
i cant afford to fix the cars
can't u go into debt with emergency parts
versed mantle
it wouldn't let me at least
I just quit
ok i think I've shaken off the tilt, gonna start over
or I wait for the day 1 patch..
maybe mclaren this time
versed mantle
you can kinda see it coming, because its just a stuck UI element
my problem was just being patient and waiting for it to fix itself, but it never did
when I reloaded save it was too late
next time I'll alt-f4 the moment it seems sus xd
gritty wyvern
also probably a good idea to manually save
before each session if the auto save is shit
versed mantle
yep
wise flint
maybe mclaren this time
I’m rocking McLaren atm and my god they suck
versed mantle
Yeah they suck in the game
wise flint
Needs ALOT of work
versed mantle
it was between them and alpha tauri and the latter leaves a gross taste in my mouth now
because they have a medium budget but are still a backmarker in the game
its fun to build a team up
tight sinew
I’m rocking McLaren atm and my god they suck
tbf did u see their first half of the season irl
versed mantle
tight sinew
versed mantle
wise flint
Yeah I’m scouting AM tech chief
Also check race engineers
They have 1 year contracts for McLaren
So good to extend landos engineer
wise flint
@versed mantle Just had UI bug myself
went to look at track condition and when best to go out for quali and it overlapped UIs and I could do anything
versed mantle
wise flint
Damn just had a sprint end up safety car
tight sinew
was fine for me
wise flint
Idk why tf an indian flag is there
tight sinew
thats the miami flag
gritty wyvern
tight sinew
first points thanks to the sprint format and 2 drivers ahead got pens
we're on lads
yuki starting the race p6
tight sinew
p7 and p10 huge points 
wise flint
SIUUUU
Got my first points last night aswell
Lando 19-9th
Final 3 laps fight with sargeant and he bins it
tight sinew
ye got 8th in sprint with yuki and then p7 in the race and albono finished out of the points in sprint but got p10 in the race
went from 0 points to 8 over 1 weekend
wise flint
Might be time to move piastri to reserves icl
tight sinew
ye thats cooked
tight sinew
I'm poggin out with yuki
wise flint
93 adaptability is a downright lie
tight sinew
fr
I have noticed drivers develop a lot faster this year
so young age with high development rating actually fucks
wise flint
tight sinew
It’s the best feeling
Think you can gain a lot of performance with good race management compared to last year it’s sick
wise flint
@tight sinew
WHAT IS HAPPENING
Funniest bit of all is zhou went off track and trove infront of de vries and perez
but de vries got a pen
tight sinew
No Piastri points
versed mantle
piastri has the same rating as zhou in the game..
wise flint
Yeah piastri is fucking awful
Im replacing him next season
I just have 0 funds to do so right now
Everything costs SO MUCH
Especially emergency parts
tight sinew
Yeah and the aero parts needing to be replaced now is brutal
Feels more realistic as a poor team
But it’s rough out here
wise flint
Ive just found out, that you WANT to do manual quali
as the AI doesnt get your tyre up to temp on the outlap
losing you a few tenths
Just decided to wing a manual quali now im comfortable and shit was cold on the final corner
wise flint
Feels cursed running this shit in practice
tight sinew
Lmao same
wise flint
Honestly so tilted
he was on for giga points
in monza
LOOK AT MY MONZA QUALI
then when he pit
fucking verstappen, leclerc and perez collided
for a red flag
INSTANLY as he came out of pits
tight sinew
wise flint
wise flint
@tight sinew
tight sinew
Wtf did he do lmao
tight sinew
is he on high aggression overtake?
tight sinew
tight sinew
ye I think Yuki is banned from high aggression overtake

AND HES STILL AHEAD OF DE VRIES NAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
tight sinew
dude is a menace
tight sinew
tight sinew

tight sinew
was he involved in the stroll incident or something
wise flint
Mclaren HUGEEEEEEEEEE brain play
Mag ended up

Championship going kinda crazy tho
bro....
My game crashed after the race

I cant be fucking arsed

Piastri did it

Shouldve made a mid race save
RIP my p9
I start the race
lando dnfs first corner

@versed mantle @tight sinew https://save.f1setup.it/ not sure how much either of you play
but this site gives you the setup for practice INSTANTLY
versed mantle
borderline cheatin
wise flint
insta setup
versed mantle
not that it matters
wise flint
Yeah practice is mind numbing
Basically x16 simulator
Even tells you the ai setups
But yeah once I get a season or two and stop raiding I wanna hit up BG3
tight sinew
But yeah once I get a season or two and stop raiding I wanna hit up BG3
its really good

Ive never done anything with D&D related shit
but it seems fun
might be a game me and the GF can duo togethere
ICL tho my f1 manager season is spicing up
2 races left
tight sinew
shee thats spicy
tight sinew
Ive never done anything with D&D related shit
yeah neither and I'm having a blast
wise flint
The clips ive seen from the game are the funniest shit
some guy killing a massive squid monster
by throwing a fish at it
some guy breaking into a castle by placing 45 boxes ontop of each other
tight sinew
yeah its awesome
wise flint
well
I just signed pourchaire on a free
for a laugh
for the last two races
and guy pulls that out
Him and lando going FULL send
tight sinew
chad energy
tight sinew
oh damn
eager thunder
bg3 kinda stole me away heh
How far into bg are u
versed mantle
End of act 1though in another save I'm a bit into act 2
eager thunder
Oh nice how is it playing 2 saves do u feel u did get same experience or a different one.im leaning towards a second save
versed mantle
you'll discover many new things on second playthru i think
wise flint
@tight sinew Dueling verstappen at vegas
tight sinew
wise flint
Nice
wise flint
I’ve had one major annoyance
Tyre wear was meaningless
Or temp sorry
You could full send tyres and you gain more time in pace then you lose in temps
versed mantle
But they fixed that or?
wise flint
But there were races where the cheese wouldn’t work
I’m not sure trying to figure out but idk if they did
I can’t see it in notes but the discord said yes
Auto quali is fixed as drivers weren’t getting temps up
The cheese was fixed
And tracks like Baku drivers weren’t pushing at the end of the lap has been fixed
All of those changes will affect current saves except team expectations
@tight sinew time to come back
tight sinew
tight sinew
oh pog
tight sinew
@wise flint first race back P9 for Albon 7th in constructors 
wise flint
