F1 2013 Fuel & Tyre Sim "On/Off" Option Non-existent

[Chris]

Hi all,

I posted this issue on the codies technical assistance forum to see if anyone else has encountered this problem, but so far, no one has.

Basically whats happening is that the Fuel and Tyre simulation options dont exist. So in races, i have no tyre wear, and a very light car with no fuel consumption.
I cannot change the fuel mixture settings in the garage, or on track.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And when I want to see the % of tyre life left on a set of tyres when in the garage, it only lets me select the compound of tyre, it doesn't let me select a specific set.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I go into the difficulty settings, there's no option to turn the tyre and fuel sim on or off. In fact the tyre and fuel sim isn't even listed.

I'm playing on PC and have got all assists and aids turned off. If anyone has had this problem, it would be nice to know that i'm not the only person in the entire world with this issue. I don't necessarily need a solution (although that would be nice), as this seems like the type of problem that only a patch from CM can fix. But I just need recognition that someone else out that has had this problem.

Did this ever get patched in F12012? I started a career and noticed the missing options, is it worth waiting to see if they fix it or is that how its going to be in career? I feel like i'm missing out on something because they are not there.

It wasn't an issue in 2012, unless you mean 2013.

But there has been several work arounds in this thread. Just have a read through and you should find a couple.

The one that worked for me was creating a new profile and starting the young driver test from Day 1 rather than Day 2.

Thanks for the reply, sorry thought it was an issue in F12012 as well on PC. I have tried the other fixes i guess it means start a new profile and start again on a day one YDT and see if that works. Do your settings sound, controller etc get reset as well when you play with a different profile?

Thanks to sparrow , i restarted the whole game re did the YDT day 1 and day 2 and i can now play the game how its meant to be played in career/grand prix. Lost all my previous work but never mind just glad i can now have tyre wear and fuel consumption!

Why did Codemasters remove the option to turn tyre & fuel sim off?

That's a royal pain in the ass when it comes to learning the new game!

I'm failing to see how this will give me the option to turn tyre and fuel sim off?

 

[Graham Laing]

Actually turning it on and off is not an option this year.

There was a bug that didn't enable the fuel and tyre sim, so that you couldn't select tyres or fuel mix from the quick menu. It was something to do with how you did the the Young Driver's test i.e what you selected, and whether you had F1 2012 (you could skip day one if you had F1 2012)

Anyway ...... switching the game to Legend level, then adding the aids etc. to reduce the effective 'level' to what you want, seemed to mostly re-enable the fuel and tyres for most of those who had the problem.

 

[Chris Jenkins]

Well that's the game out the window for me then.

What a joke!

 

[Graham Laing]

The fuel and tyre sim is off when playing in Time Trial mode only.

 

[Chris Jenkins]

That's great, but I big part of me playing the game is racing my younger brother, who can't use fuel/tyre sim.

Pathetic oversight by Codemasters!
£40 down the drain.

 

[Jonathan Rowland]

do you play online with your brother or split screen? I think tyre sim maybe off if you do a gp mode race less than 25% as you don't need to make a pit stop. But I've not played much of them as i usually do 50% races

 

[Chris Jenkins]

We play online, split-screen when he visits and I used to play career mode with sims off so he could compare.

Just noticed the minimum race distance on career mode is 25% too. So you can't even shorten the race to cancel out the tyre/fuel sim.

Getting rid of this crap ASAP
