Hey ppl! I wanted to say that would the devs be able to update the BF1 with every major update to the car. I mean, if BMW gave'em permission, I don't they'd mind if the devs updated the car. Now, obviously, the new BMW F1 car looks weird, but if we could have something like 2 versions, the one we have now and the new one.

No thanks, 1 is enough, and I don't want an incompatible patch and hotlaps wiped everytime somebody trys something wacky in F1.

? i doubt it highly, i doubt we'll even get next years...

The only changes should be visible ones (like the fins) that should only be made physics-altering when the next incompatible patch is launched.

All those aero updates and such are so experimental, it really makes no sense to change the BF1's cosmetics all the time. We don't have crazy aero calculations for those things to even serve a purpose.

The standard BF1 is an F1 car, and shouldn't look like a rhinocerous. I think this discussion has been brought up before already?

I really can't understand why all the ppl worry about the BF1... What do u like about this car?! It's so fast and has so much grip, there's no fun in driving it - it's just work to keep it on track at these high speeds >.<

[remembering those great RB4 RallyX Green sessions... WEEE!]

what do you mean its not fun? its tons of fun.. well.. actually it can be work at times, but its fun in close racing

No please, that new aero things are ridiculous, I hope they remove it for Germany, even Jaques wanted them to be removed. He said the car behaviour was the same.

-1, leave it, as it is.

i say make the aero designs they have made and will make as options

some things can be used to an advantage (like the extra pair of front spoilers that go above the standard spoilers could come of some use)

No thanks for those fins...they look terrible, the cockpit view would be worse and it wouldn't change a thing in driving the BF1...

Correction: you find no fun in driving it.
Nobody worries about the BF1. Different people like different things, deal with it.

What is with these fins anyway? I've seen several topics on how the BF1 should get these because the real one has them. Did you miss all the previous aero updates on the real car that didn't end up on the BF1?

I bet there are at least 10 slightly different BMW-Saubers with different aero packages, so it would require some attention to detail (and reference data from BMW-S) to get the cars right.

"Me thinks"-mode : ON:
And I think that the deal between Scavier and BMW-S included only the F1 car in the state it was when the deal was closed. It is the '06 version, so I'd be surprized to see a '07 version in the future

Needs the little 'bi-plane' winglets on the front wing, because those were always there.

Also, I doubt they will be getting rid of the viking horns/antlers any time soon if McLaren's had them for so long.

-1.

Besdies, IMO there's no need for this topic:
