5 EASY TIPS to using MANUAL GEARS on F1 2019!

[@GeniusLad32]

I turned manual gears on for the first time at Singapore in my first season of 2018 and oh boy that was a mistake. I should have waited one more race because learning anything on Singapore is a nightmare

[@Veloce]

That really is throwing yourself in the deep end! did you stick with it though?

[@GeniusLad32]

@@Veloce Yes. Still playing manual a year later and it's so much better. ABS still on, that's the next step

[@tubularcandy812]

Angus Noble I only play career mode. Traction, racing line and abs will stay on forever. I dont like playing with out it.

[@Nagim-d3z]

@@GeniusLad32 Just do what you did with the gears for abs, you're never gonna learn it if you don't try. It's honestly not that hard, you'll lose a lot of time in the beginning but it's worth it in the end

[@flipr52]

Could be worse. I did it in Monaco xD

[@Cynderfan35]

i have driven with manual gears for long time and can say it truly helps a lot. I dont look at which gear i use, instead listen sound like you said is possible ;) specially it helps with the wheel spin

[@NotSosigRamsey]

Real pro’s shift to Neutral on Casino square in Monaco, to get the backend around faster

[@nolongtinghere]

Will try that :)

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

the biggest thing for me when initially doing manual gears in TT on the last game was remembering to shift, then i started trying it in grand prix mode and after a while i finally got a handle on managing fuel, ers and gearing while keeping the car doing the right thing. In this year's game however I've only used manual gears and would never go back to auto now

[@uyhu24]

i find the upshift beep very useful cause i sometimes forget to upshift lol

Well he did do it once in Azerbaijan but he learned fast it was nothing like the RB lol! But Ric nails them otherwise. It would be more a Maldonado if only he hit the other car.

[@BrittonMittens]

short shift before 4th and normal shift after helped me massively. As a manual car driver all my life I couldn't figure out why I was getting so much slower lap times in manual configuration. Turns out I was just generally overrevving and spending too long in lower gears. Thanks a bunch!

[@mloe8072]

4:05 i see what you did there

[@RodMcDonald01]

Finally moved to manual gears after a month or so of playing! Racing is definitely more intense! Feels more accomplishing when shifting in great timing, but you definitely know when you screw up the timing and give away position!

[@MrJackooze]

Great video. I'm new to Formula 1 and I dropped all the assist at once. It has been challenging but I see myself progressing everyday. I learn track on time trial and I count gear and it has helped me tremendously. I also moved the MFD (and the gear view) at the bottom center of my screen to avoid loosing track of the road.

[@Quazi-Moto]

Kudos to you for dropping all assists straight out of the box. It's a slower way to learn a new course, but I'm sure it's also more rewarding as a sense of accomplishment. I hate having a big green line on my course, so I like it when games allow us to turn on the "corners only" option.

[@sonNyET]

theo nly problem i have with manual gears is that i lack the buttons on my controller (i play on a pad) to manage fuel, ers and gears at the same time

[@typicalguy2966]

Believe me, I know how tough it is but maybe start with auto ERS (not the best idea but bare with me). Practice your gear shifting. I assume that is with your right hand and using Square and X to shift. Practice Practice and Practice eventually it will become muscle memory. Then enable the ERS manual and you don’t really need to worry about the gears as you have already mastered that. I too was in your shoes last year but a KZbin comment helped me 😀

[@sonNyET]

@@typicalguy2966 well my problem is not managing both but actually finding the button layout that feels ok and allows for quick adjustments

[@typicalguy2966]

sonNy If you go on your control scheme you can adjust your MFD panel with the right joystick. I personally don’t like using it but provides faster changes compared to the D Pad

[@aerodynamics732]

Xbox One Controller: B - Shift Up, X - Shift Down, A - MFD, Y - DRS. As for fuel and ERS, I removed the Look Around Buttons for race sessions because I don't really need it (We already have the arrow indicator when someone is behind and that's enough). Now using the MFD Shortcut settings for the Increase Fuel Mix I use RS Up, Decrease Fuel Mix - RS Down, Increase ERS - RS Right, Decrease ERS - RS Left, and RS Button as Pit Limiter Voice Control - RB I leave the rest to default and unassigned the "Push to Talk Button" because I mainly Play Career.

[@smithhawkins6331]

sonNy if im playing a game on a pad, i always play with an automantic gearbox. It’s so natural that i dont even think about it with the wheel, but with the pad it’s a major distraction and it makes it difficult to do anything else at the same time

[@ELGUAPOIV]

Is there a resource available showing the ideal gear you should be in through each turn for the various tracks? I'm new to racing games, sorry.

[@dannymeades6474]

Yeah you can get the assistance that tells you the ideal gear

[@Quazi-Moto]

Noob question -- Should I upshift as soon as the lights max out, even with plenty of revving left in the engine (and hence, speed to be gained whilst in that lower gear), or should I more often listen to the engine and let IT tell me when to shift? Of course, I mean not waiting until the rev limiter kicks in. Thanks in advance to any that answer.

[@EthanCruz95]

so for gears 1-4 try short shifting gears 5-6 it depends on how you feel gears 7-8 yes max out those revs hope that helps mate!

@TheWeeaboo I havent played for like 3 months. Once I hit Master rank in multiplayer I just lost a motivation in investing hours into the game. But from what I can remember Canada is like 1:09.1/2. And Monaco is definitely not one of my favourite circuit lol. Monaco was around 1:09-ish.

[@dannyrivers920]

@TheWeeaboo 1:09 in Monaco is way above like 3k-4k people. It starts at low 1:07s. My TT run is what top 1000 has as a regular race pace lol. And my Canada is definitely due to my S3. I cant even imagine how many hundreds of TT run I messed up on the last chicane hah. Yeah. I mostly did ranked races. Too bad that 25% is dead. And with my Master/Safety A it is nearly impossible to find a ranked lobby 5 laps after 6pm EST. I'll probably just get a new 2021 edition game next summer, if it actually get released. Hopefully I'll get more action there.

[@dannyrivers920]

@TheWeeaboo Yeah. Their rank system is very flawed. I lost count already of how many times during the race I lock up in the wet and run wide and game shows "severe corner cutting, 10 sec penalty" and my safety rating just plunges down by 50% LOL. Or every time I get crashed out by someone else who misses a break point and I get collision 3 sec penalty. =_=. Not to brag, but I am usually 1-2 seconds faster a lap in open lobbies since they mostly consist of bronze-silver drivers. Sometimes I am excited to see a fellow master rated drivers and anticipating a cool challenge and guys just fail to even get to the top 25% runners lol. Or if they see they cant catch up a couple races in a row - they just quit the lobby. Just a boatload of disappointment in this multiplayer.

I never expected to have problems with manual gears since I've been playing racing games with manual shifting for several years now and it was fine. But F1 just so much different from racing in more "usual" cars, like touring for example, mostly because there's so many gears, I mean, I'm used to drop 2-4 gears before a tight turn, but 6? Sounds like dropping to neutral to me, turned out I stop mentally counting downsifts after four and tend to overdo it. Still learning this whole thing from scratch, probably have just about 10 hours of expirience with F1 and proper racing wheel, not a keyboard (never play a racing game on a keyboard if you can!), a lot of things to get used to. I started to drop assists one by one, currently learning how to drive withiout ABS and already decreased traction control to it's medium setting. Now that I remember that manual shifts are a great help in managing both braking and acceleration, I wonder, should I drop all assists at once and learn it the hard way, not to form any weird useless muscle habits from utilising unique combination of assits, or continue to progress slowly, but easy?..

[@derdampflok]

Don't go with all assists off at once, if you want to do it the hard way take one assist off, drive a little to see what actually is different and then deactivate the next one

[@juke_sl64dk63]

Engine braking is not over reving the engine, that would destroy an engine. Engine braking is just a simple change of gear ratios. It's really for the engine to rotate the wheels in 1 gear, for example, but that makes it very hard to go the other way. If you have ever tried to push start a motorcycle or such, you will notice that the higher gear, the easier it roles.

[@marcofragomeni9914]

mhh no, the general rule is to brake before turning in, when wheels are still straight. something like this: fulls speed -> brake -> downshift and turn, leaving the car rolling. You can practice in 1 to 4 corners and hairpin in China, then Monza (Prima Variante, Roggia and Ascari) and the "S curves" in Suzuka and the 3 to 9 curves in Austin. They are (at least for me) very challenging and a good training ground to build up a good (or bad) laptime.

i have to use the short shift only if i play with traction control off?
