It must be a control thing? Cause I find it easier this year than last years game on my thrustmaster wheel and pedals. I find myself spinning out a lot less this year maybe i just got better at these games tho I only started playing them towards the end of F1 2020 right when 2021 was about to release so I’ve been playing for a little over a year.
as a relatively brand new sim driver this video was super helpful! i set a few laps on different tracks with traction control and abs and turns out i’m still about 4s quicker with the assists than without. still got a lot of learning to do and get comfortable but i’m looking forward to watching the gap with myself close :)
Been following your setups for awhile but I was driving with traction control on. Finally turned it off this week and it’s been rough. Remembered you posted this awhile ago and am very thankful to have these tips to fall back on. Thanks!
I definitely recommend driving 5 lap races in the rain. It gives you so much more confidence in the car, and I find myself doing much better lap times because I now know when to apply power.
Really keen to try and reduce the number of assists I use this year in F1 on the controller. I’ve looked at a few other videos for tips as I’ve started with Traction Control and some videos have helped. I’ve been using ‘Medium’ TC and been getting used to it but your tips have taken another second off my lap times since switching it off fully! Great video, extremely useful, loved the Controller settings video too. Would love to see something on moving away from automatic gears specifically for controller users too. Cheers.
You can select manual+suggested gear, then you can go into TT and just do a few slow laps so ypu can remember which gears are correct on which part of the track. After getting the muscle memory on down and upshifts you can Apply fine tunes like short shortshifting or engine braking. After like one or two races I had it down pretty good. Hope this can help you :)
Driving in the rain in this game is almost like driving on ice, just wheel spin with the smallest amount of throttle and immediately lock the brakes. I don’t know what Codemasters has done to the physics but it’s seems to have been at the peak in 2020
One thing that has worked well for me this year is breaking early and carrying speed in the corner. I drived with heavy breaking and heavy acceleration by repositioning the car on F1 21, but this year oh boy, the acceleration is tough. So with carrying speed in the corners, you can stay in speed 3-4, reposition the car and accelerate.
I recommend medium traction setting I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and it’s definitely helped. Had a few spins early on but I’m now putting my car on the limit with it. Not quite ready for switching off yet though 😅
I'm confident driving without traction, however this year I'm struggling with traction from the standing start. Once the lights go out I apply low revs however I just instantly spin. Any advice?
Starts are much tougher this year. Keep the revs low and short shift early. Then try to get as much power down as you can as the AI are fast off the line!
Yep, starts are broke. Norris said in F1 21 that the cars have less rear grip than in real life, so codemasters actually went and made it 10x worse in 22'.
Thank you for this video, finally somebody explained to me, what changing on diff does, as well as the other settings that help with oversteer! Very helpful
The first F1 game I’ve ever played was 2010. Got a One S and got 2019. Took a bit to adjust to 2021 but not bad (Only assists I have on are suggested gear which I ignore half the time and braking line for a reference on new tracks). Adjusting for 2022 has been by far the most difficult, as I struggle with the slightest of tire slip sending the car into a slide coming out of corners completely without warning maybe every 30 corners or so (I’m a controller player and when this happens I don’t get any vibration feedback). Came here for some advice to get back on track, thanks bro
One reason Traction Control is needed this year (talking controller) is because Codemasters wasn't able to add Trigger Feedback. So there's no way to tell when you're hitting the limit. It's really unplayable atm.
I’m comfortable driving without tc or abs but I’m struggling to beat time trials of drivers clearly using tc. When I try to match their acceleration rate I spin out. Everyone says you can be faster without traction control but I feel like assists are still op. I wish they would make a “hardcore” mode in multiplayer with no tc or abs allowed
So far not having a great time with the trial version after 3 hours. The cars in this years game are so much harder to drive. I generally never have such issues with any single seaters or any cars in general. ACC, iRacing, etc all fine but those cars I'm just Mazespining all the time.
Cause the physics are garbage and you cant feel the car. You barely get any, if not no feeling that you’re about to spin so you can only learn through guesswork from experience, it sucks
F1 2021 I coukd push hard on the medium traction settings but this year I apply tiny bit of throttle and the car just spins out but I feel like it's certain tracks Bahrain it kept spinning out and now Canada on one corner but Baku I managed it perfectly I had back end kick out few times but I was able to manage it and not spin out I did find going onto harder sets that it wouldn't spin out as much also this year the cars feel like they understeer alot to me
Traction is much more on a knife edge this year. If you get just a little too much oversteer or too much throttle the car is going round on you, especially out of slower corners!
@@SimRacingSetups I changed my throttle linearity and I’m so much more comfortable now exiting slow corners. Overall I’m setting better lap times than the beginning, thanks for the tips!
@@andys1548 mind if I ask what you have your throttle linearity set to? I’m slowly getting there with the traction control off but I’m struggling a lot with slower and/or longer corners
I mostly learned how to brake and accelerate at the apex of a turn from watching actual F1 races. I notice that they feather the throttle instead of gunning it at the apex because all the power is on the rear tires (I'm American so I don't spell it tyre) so I would emulate that into my own play style. It wasn't until F1 2021 that I started turning off the assists.
I’m so dumb In f1 21 going full throttle when exiting turns didn’t really matter much but in f1 22 I was feeling a big difference with how my car handled such power when exiting the corners and I didn’t know why until I searched for it, im going to practice this all night with no assist. thanks.
Hey! I used to be great on F1 21 but on 22 I just keep spinning and i've got no clue why the difference is so high. Got a feeling there's a setting somewhere that I have wrong but just feels awful driving at the moment.
I hopped into time trail on Monza and just kept trying until I finally got a lap in and then repeated until I got 10 clean laps. Took about 2 and half hours but got there in the end
Keep playing and tryto find the sweet throttle steering spot for yourself, It took me about 2-3 hours to not spin in corners and a few more to get faster. Though my friend is still struggling about speed.
so what im hearing is driving without any TC gives you a much better feel for the car - encourages you to learn to drive with smoother inputs and understand where the limits of traction are. its super frustrating to drive without TC - especailly because im so used to medium TC... I like to mess around with it offline - but when it comes to online - especially when im actually racing someone - i get a bit excited - smooth throttle control goes out the window and then my race is over.. ive been at AI level 70-75 for ages now so I need to try somthing to get improvements.
This video gave me the impetus to drive with TC and ABS off. Still struggling with stability on corner exit (I play on a controller) but I am getting the hang of it. Bigger issue is lack of speed. I am still way off the pace compared to having ABS and TC on. Need to practice the techniques mentioned here some more.
If u can’t do it I wud jus put tc on medium I play on controller as well and it’s hard to control the throttle so medium works for me and im quick with it
I raced with no TC last year but this year I have to with full TC on I’m really struggling with it and when I go to time trial to practice I get very frustrated with myself and give up because I keep spinning
Trying to go from medium to off but can’t seem to get any faster. Feel like I’m too slow on the throttle with it off because I’m trying not to spin, but with medium I can be more aggressive and use more power. Can’t seem to work it out
Honestly just turn it off and drive as best as you can and you'll never go back. However starting from the grid is the most frustrating thing in the whole game, it's genuinely impossible
Just turn traction off and LEARN IT, dont use medium, im learning without it because medium is almost like it was turn off. just think is just faster after you learn!
I heard that the Traction is bugged atm and not as intendet. It should get fixed with the Day one patch. Heard it in a stream from Marcel kiefer (f1 esports driver for Red bull)
There is also the throttle linearity setting you could play around with, I haven't messed with it as I think I am getting better in a great amount of time but man, I do suffer on race starts
I find it incredibly hard to turn it off completely for controller. I've tried very hard to make the throttle controllable with the right trigger but always end up being slower than with TC on semi.
My first actual play the series. After finish 1 season Driver-Manager mode, I try to lessen the assist setting. Traction control is the one I never change. I play with Keyboard, to handling the steer in "easy" mode is already challenging. If I have steering wheel, I probably will try learning no-traction-control. Until then ... nope. I'm focus beating AI at hire difficulty level. I'm now getting comfort with AI Level 50. Gonna try higher later.
Medium traction this year, just feels like you have no traction on. I used to medium traction on other f1 games. But this year its too hard. Especially on controller
about the diff settings, I'm pretty sure it's the opposite of what you say. The closer you get to 100%, the more the rear wheels can spin at a different speed.
I’ve been playing without traction and i’ve gotten the no spinning out down buy im so slow. even with a low difficulty setting, i’m slower than everyone else
I've been using no TC since 2018, always played against 100+ AI yet today I could not keep the f--in thing on track. Wtf? Gotta do hairpins in 4th gear, that's ridiculous...
It’s 1000 times easier to use a wheel/ pedals with TC turned off, mainly because of the much greater travel/ range of the accelerator. The trigger travel on a pad is probably 20-30 times shorter, and therefore much harder to find the sweet spots. Also helps to have a wheel for similar reasons - much easier to apply the right amount of opposite steering to a car that’s starting to on-throttle oversteer simply because of the resolution of a wheel compared to a pad.
This is the only F1 game that I play with medium assist. I can handle the car in the race, but I have no change at the race start against the AI. They have a lot more grip.
Bro my controller it hasn't little or full acceleration. When i press a little bit the rigger it goes full. Please i want help. If someone know please help me🙏🙏🙏
I just can't get a feel for when the tires are losing grip until its's too late. I adjusted by being giving it less throttle but i end up being slower than when i have TC turned on
I can barely finish in the top 10, my only issue is spinning out on corners even with I slightly apply the throttle, I don’t have the confidence to apply throttle in a corner, thus drastically slowing down my lap times :( I did not have this issue in F1 21
I've watched many of your videos and found them to be very helpful, especially the track set ups. For those that play console controller, how closely do these relate from those that play with a wheel? I appreciate that some set ups need to be tweaked depending on driving style
I never used traction control last F1 but with this one I can’t seem to get the hang of it I haven’t put it on put I’m also not able to complete a competitive lap together without spinning
Hi guys, hoping someone can help me out. Can you turn traction control on and off during a race, WITHOUT having to press start, assists and change it in that menu?? So if you had a button on a steering wheel which allows you to do that whilst racing, corner by corner
the extream wheel spin this year is way to much.i have tryed the my team car and co op in the hass with a friend and its just insane... it feels WAY OTT
There's something about the physics that makes it more difficult to drive without traction control. I managed to use medium traction control with a controller the last few games but now I find myself spinning even at on race starts. I guess that's the 2022 car
im late so noone will prob reacht, but if you see this, pls help. Whit traction control onn at the start its just a normal start, no sliding But with only medium (or off) at the start i start slipping and sliding all of the place, pls help
I'm really struggling to get used to no TC on this game. I'm either way to slow out of corners or spinning out. I'm out of ideas and can't seem to find the sweet spot. Any tips?
On controller should I learn how to use manual gearbox first or zero traction control first ??? And is there a track that would be easier to start on ?
Please I need help. Even with traction control off, I have this auto acceleration that makes it impossible to start. Even without hitting the pedal I'm already breaking out. How do I turn that off? Much appreciated.
Still feel that the traction this year is very odd, other sims with this years car drive easier and even after seeing the pedal cam with Lando Norris in Silverstone if he did the same in the game he would be spinning every corner
I am now driving with gearbox help and traction control medium, what would you recommend to learn first, drive without traction controll or learn to do the gearbox myself?
Is there even a point in driving without TC on a controller? I mean with a full race setup it makes sense and is intuitive to do but unless you’ve got the hands of a 4 year old it’s hardly enjoyable (in my opinion of course)
Am I the only one that finds f1 22 easier to control than f1 2021 now that I got used to it. When I first played f1 22 it was kind of hard to control but I got used to it after a day.
I've got a thought experiment on Full TC I want to canvass opinion on, since I think more than a few of us are going to end up switching back to full TC just to get the fun of it back (I already have). I wanna propose two different types of player using FULL TC, and ask if there's a difference: Player #1 - Uses Full TC, but is lazy with the throttle, just stamping on it fully all the time, with no progression/modulation, cos they know the TC will kick in and save them. Player #2 - Also uses full TC, but still tries to drive as though they were on Medium TC, still trying to progressively ease in the throttle and get the car straight before full throttle. They just want the full TC as a safety net to stop spins. QUESTION for all - Would Player #2 be faster than Player #1? In other words, does full TC allow some room in it for the skill of modulation, or do you think it locks everyone using it to a certain lap time, regardless of how much they at least try to modulate the throttle? Interested in opinions on this - whether there's room for optimization within the Full TC setting, or not.
@@dotisopropyl Thanks for your great thoughtful response bud! Yes I agree on TC point - full tc only kicks in when you are about to lose traction, so if you drive in a such a way that it doesn't need to kick in as often, in theory it should kick in less and you lose less time using this assist. So it should pay to still try and drive carefully with the throttle and minimise time lost. I'm also experimenting with changing setups with full TC as well, since many YT setups are geared for med or no TC, and therefore for stability, but this is less important on Full TC, so I'm going for setups based purely on cornering speed, and seeing some good results, though still testing. I think bringing the wings closer together might gain you a bit more time on full tc but not certain yet. The bog down effect of Full TC is horrible, but it's the only way I can have fun on 22 at the moment. I did a race in Jeddah on career with full TC, and finally thought yes, I can enjoy racing again on this game. No way I could race properly using Med TC, so Full is the way forward for me for now and perhaps a handling patch will come in to balance out Med TC. Anyway thanks for responding and enjoy!
