F1 Games - General Discussion

We seem to have a livery theme going on here. Glad to see the Brighton fans also driving in AEK colours.

Here's my Team AEK car passing a black and yellow seagull on the inside

Which is also funny because Brighton play in blue and white 😂.

So hang on, is that my actual livery appearing in your game? That's really cool.

I will always remember AEK @AEKara38 as the first team I ever saw us play in Europe! (even if you did win) x

My first MyTeam career car, Team Lotus, hired Jenson Button and Victor Martins, Xenon title sponsor and Renault engines.

hi all, I bought F1 25 in hope VR was OK now... F1 24 I needed to refund as it was unplayable
Sadly F1 25 also has a 'lag' when moving my head. The picture lags slightly , making it quite nauseating after a short while,
so also unplayable, same as F1 24 !?

I did see some reviews on YT seemingly of similar specs (Q3 on fairly beefy pc's) , where they do not say it's unplayable... on the contrary... So I wonder, what's the deal here?

Anyone else here has experienced the same as me?
Could this be because I'm still on Windows10 ? Or because I use the Link cable (and not Virtual Desktop)? (EDIT: tried also w VD and still the same!)
I'm at a loss why I can get so good results in AMS2 or AC, but F1 25 (and 24) is unplayable vomit enducing garbage!?
Any clues to what I may need to change in order to play this in VR?

My specs:
Gigabyte x570, Corsair 850w Gold, 32gb ddr4 3600, Ryzen-9 5950x, Asus ProArt Nvidia 4080s 16GB (EDIT : updated to latest drivers v.576.52 - still no change)
Windows 10 Pro version2009 (os build 19045.5912)
Quest3 via Oculus Link (usb 3.1 cable A to C plugged in a usb 3 type A port of the x570), or Virtual Desktop

I set POV limit in Debug Tool to get more headroom even, here my settings in ODT :

Is there any interest from anyone here in an F1 '25 league? There is an on demand league option I believe which negates the requirement to all have to be online at the same time so can be run in our own time.

If there's a few interested then I'll set up a test event.

Me, as always, to bring up the rear.

I've already played F1 25 3x longer than F1 24. Doesn't make me any faster though

Damn, I'm going to miss the head-start I've been getting every race. Never been overtaken from pole going into the first corner, they're normally about 5 car lengths behind.

That tinnitus relief filter was something unexpected. Luckily I don't suffer from it but the other half does and it's a fairly unique idea.

I’ve only ever played Microprose F1 games, are there any games that are must haves/try’s for an F1 fix? Speaking about SP side of things

I think, personally speaking in terms of officle titles, F1 '25 is the best balance for SP. MyTeam got a much needed refresh and is much more engaging and enjoyable than before and the driver career is pretty much everything you could ask for from a modern F1 game career mode. AI is solid, visuals are solid if unspectacular, handling is the right blend of accessible and simulation, plus 2026 will be a DLC pack rather than a new game, so in terms of longevity, you're at least getting good moneys worth from it even at this stage of it's existence.

Don't sleep on AMS2 either, the skin packs for the plethora of imitation F1 cars make single player championships and one off races an absolute joy to do. The newly updated Formula Edge with the 1995 pack is some of the most fun I have had racing F1 in a sim for a long time.
