I’m going back to the controller until it’s fixed

I have zero skill on controller. My muscle memory is completely locked into wheel usage unfortunately, so I'm cooked. I'm only attempting 1 slot, just to see how bad it is. if it's not fixed by Interlagos, I'll have to abandon the championship. Such a shame!

You’ll probably need turn up the sound of the tyres to help if there’s no FFB

Just did my slot which started 90 minutes ago. No sign of any rain during qually or the race. Ran Hards for 3 laps then hards again for the last two laps. Aus/NZ region.

I can't belive I'll be competing with a nerfed logitech wheel for this round. Absolutely gutted this has happened just before the start of GTWS. Poor form from PD, even by their standards.

I know the pain, those of us on controller have been competing with nerfed steering for 3 years, hopefully PD take a look at both of those issues in the next update (probably in 3 and a half weeks).

PD's recommendation, is to go out and by a Fanatec instead. Problem solved apparently! What makes this even worse, is that I've been absolutely flying in practice races. But I know I'll lose all my pace come race time. This is the way...

Same here. Just so bummed out, especially because it's Nord... and likely wet. In the wet, having no FFB is even worse. I might still try and do one on a alt or something, but we'll see. Not being able to feel the car not only kills the ability to drive it well, but a lot of the fun of playing. If I do, I'll likely run ASM and TC1 since I can't feel when the car start to lose it.

I'd actually done some practicing with the TF turned all the way down (as it still works on TT so you have to manually shut it off). If it wasn't for a league I am in (which is worse having no TF for that than anything) that just started I'd turn this game off until the patch likely at the end of April.

Well that was a sick joke. One hour in and the server crashes and everyone gets booted.

PD are a joke. When I only have slots at 10pm, midnight and 2am local time this is completely pointless.

There’s a good chance I won’t do any more of this season. The constant glitches, ruining the BoP and recycling combos has worn too thin.

I spent a bunch of time yesterday looking at weather for today's race -- exiting and re-entering Free Practice sessions. If the Free Practice is any indication, it seems like rain is going to be pretty rare. I only saw the potential for rain in 10-20% of the sessions.

One other thing I've noticed is that the weather always seems to be moving in the same direction at the same speed: from the southeast at about 140km/h. If I zoom out the radar map to the maximum and find that the bottom right quadrant is clear at the current time, I'm going to expect no rain.

It boggles my mind how you are able to keep up with top-split drivers like you do. As a controller driver, I find it inspiring. Maybe you are running into limitations of the controller, but from where I'm sitting you seem to doing remarkably well. I can only hope that one day I'll be fast enough to complain about the controller holding me back. Until then, I can only blame my lack of skill for my mediocre pace.

That's horrible mate, I'm sorry to hear. I'm currently in London for work, and least this makes me a touch less sad about missing this round (and also round 2 at one of my favourite tracks....unless I can miraculously find a sim arcade with GT7 or borrow a ps5 on Saturday).

The hilarious part is, on the other side of the world, the race times are 8am, 10am and noon, as opposed to the cooked schedule we have to put up with in our own freaking timezone!!!

Mixed bag in the streams I've been watching. Some bone dry, some pretty wet. Seems more 50/50 to me.
