IS F1® 23 FINALLY A SIM? - Sim Racer's First Drive!

With F1® 23 just around the corner, EA Sports have kindly allowed us early access to a preview build of the game to check out! This year among other improvements, they're claiming some significant changes to car handling.
So today we go for the first drive to see how it feels and if this is enough to entice Sim Racers back to the F1 Series.

Sim=boring

[@somebody-dm2ws]

​@@user-xu5lb2ky8hnot really, the driving experience of simulators is awesome, its amazing how you can feel every thing of the car as if you are driving it, but what lacks in sims is the style and accessibility because its necessary to play with a wheel, and that's what Codemasters F1 is good at, accessibility and style of the game, so that players can have fun and can play on both a wheel and a controller.

[@moogleslam]

As long as Codemasters are making it, the answer will always be no. There's obviously huge interest in Codemasters Racing RPG, so I can't fault them for that, but it would be great if a second company also had the license to make a sim out of it. This is not unheard of, with EA Sports and 2K both making NBA games, and there are other instances of this also.

[@DxBang3D]

The closest thing they have ever done to simulation was Race Driver: GRID... I mean the first one. Especially when it came to damage.

[@moogleslam]

Hear me out, there is a huge problem in sim racing. The best sims out there like ACC dont provide a deep career mode, they dont feel like games but sims of course. But at the end of the day? What's the fun in just that? Low fuel motorsport makes fun. But for me, its nice to have a purpose and having things to unlcock, a solid career mode. On the other end, F1 and GT do that at the cost of not being true sims. It comes down to preferences, but in my opinion i will always prefer a game that feels like a game in its content and features and doesnt solely rely on online multiplayer.

[@johng4357]

It would be nice if EA did the full F1 game as they are doing now with all the progression and career stuff but allowed kunos to do a bare bones sim with just the cars and tracks but with their physics models

Boosted... Thank you for Driving in Cockpit View Let's Normalize F1 Games from Cockpit View TCam is not Racing!!

[@mnc303]

Cockpit view gives you about 70% of the view of what a real driver can see due to the reduced left and right range. Zoomed in tv cam view gives about 110% the view range left and right. So if you want the most most similar to real life left and right field of view TV camera zoomed in is that view.

[@theglitch312]

@@mnc303 A real driver's field of view is extremely limited due to the helmet... I very much doubt cockpit cam with Max FOV results in less vision than putting on those insanely padded F1 helmets irl. T-cam ruins far more than what you gain from a "correct" FOV. Since your position is now _on_ the car, instead of _in_ the car.

[@FlyingHawkic]

@caprirosso3 If you're used to the VR standards of AMS2, it wasn't great. It wasn't smooth at all and the tracks look off because they're not laser scanned, which is way more obvious in VR.

[@sirmounted8499]

surprised the engine didn't blow up with how late you shifted every time

[@MegaIronica]

Please do a VR version review. The VR was notoriously hard to run on F1 22. Please remember to put minimum resolution setting to 100% otherwise, it would just reduce the resolution drastically to improve performance.

[@Rzor101]

I play the beta in vr and the performance was much better than in the f22, everything at maximum and there was no shuttering

[@MegaIronica]

@Rzor 1 That is great news! I a lot of questions if you don't mind. Would you say the handling got better and by how much? Was enough to make it interesting? Also what are your PC specs and what headset you used? Also how can someone have access to the beta?

[@Rzor101]

@@MegaIronica handling is another big improvement it feels more precise especially when taking fast corners, silverstone copse, maggotts, becketts, they feel very different compared to the f1 22 you can feel the downforce and that's great, and my pc I7 13700k, Rtx 4080, 64gb ram, vr headset hp reverb g2.

[@JG-vo8ey]

Where do i change minimum resoloution? :)

[@MegaIronica]

@J G I think it is under graphic settings and video mode, and it is called something like minimum dynamic resolution. If your specs are not very high, you might want to reduce quality preset to low or very low, but it is still much better when the resolution is high even if the graphics settings are low.

[@reviewforthetube6485]

Its def fun and competative! The weight feel is insane in f1 2023 cars feel super heavy.

Please let us know if they addressed the jitters in VR. If it’s still a problem that will definitely impact a decision on whether to get this.

[@JonB83]

Will they ever give us a cockpit view with out the hands and steering wheel and closer in, I already got a wheel and hands? Hopefully the VR is better, might be worth it this. I will give it a try.

[@boostedmedia]

Yeah not being able to hide the wheel basically rules out me being able to make my hyper-realistic videos with it

[@JonB83]

@@boostedmedia Ah hah! When you are in a session, set your camera to cockpit. Go to settings, a camera customization menu will now be available. You can do FOV, horizontal, vertical, left, right adjustments. Also in Graphics I believe, there is a setting to turn wheel animation off. It's fairly enjoyable for me on my widescreen now, no side view mirrors to see now with fov i have, but there is a virtual mirror and I have the stationary wheel seen enough so I can see the gears. But you could hide the whole thing for your realistic sim deal. The VR still stinks.

[@TraumaTeamRacing]

It is nuts this still doesnt have triple screen support. As an F1 nut it would be awesome to bop around in triples on all the licensed tracks. Unfortunately until Codemasters release their grip I fear this won't come any time soon. At least they have embraced VR. Baby steps.

[@wolfe1970]

Because F1 is aimed mainly at console player using controllers, i dont feel this will ever be sim like, they are already making it better for wheels and feedback, but it wont ever be a full on sim, and thats good, is it was a full on sim the market would be 20% of what it is now, Richard Burns Rally was the most sim like rally game ive played, came out along side Colin McCray rally, and the CM outsold RB by a long way, because it was more of a Arcade type game and aimed at a bigger audience Would be good is another company got hold of F1 along side CM and made it a sim version for hardcore racers

[@potatogirlcultist19]

On the flip side though , DiRT Rally 2.0, which is much more sim orientated than Colin McRae Rally or DiRT 5, outsold DiRT 5 by over 5x. For rally games at least, it should be a lot more profitable to make a simulation game than an arcade one since Force Feedback wheels are much more accessible then 2005 and people are attracted to the difficulty of it. This is why I'm 99% sure CM's WRC game is going to be based off DiRT Rally 2.0 rather then DiRT 5, and also the reason why the F1 games have become a little more focused on being realistic then say, 2013 (you had only 180 degrees of rotation on the wheel, you could anhialate kerbs and world records were almost 5 seconds faster than real life).

[@RacingAnt]

No reason the game can't have varying levels of driving assists to help the arcade racing fans on controllers.

[@tipatkeson]

I'd like to see you play this on your D-Box motion rig. To see how the game implements that kind of movement. Thinking of getting a D-Box setup just for F1 23. Addicted to the sport and play F1 22 in VR. With motion, it would be next level.

[@JustAGuy85]

I've had a ton of fun with F1 22 and F1 23... and now we're almost ready for F1 24 to hit and I'm really curious what kind of changes we'll be feeling. The F1 23 cars were quite a bit faster than the F1 22 cars. I'm talking... from 202-205 on the straights on up to 215-220mph on the straights. So, that may be a real F1 thing where they changed some drag limits? I have no idea. But wow, F1 23 has been VERY fun for me. And to beat it all, I play with an Xbox controller. The only assist I use is ABS. There's just no feeling with a controller on braking. That's my excuse haha. My "FULL SIM" game is DCS: World. They use that game to train real pilots in the US military and other militaries across the word. The Germans learned to fly Mirage 2000's on DCS: World. The US learned to fly the A-10C Warthog on DCS: World. It's Microsoft Flight Simulator on steroids.. because you're now flying fighter jets with fully clickable cockpits and every single thing is realistic. If you're a sim lover in general, you gotta try DCS: World. As with anyone, I'd recommend starting with the "Flaming Cliffs 3" package (they are not full fidelity) and then moving on to a jet you like. It's good to start with the F-5E-3 or the Mirage 2000C (both full fidelity) and move on from there. You really need a HOTAS (flight stick and throttle and SOME form of rudder pedals, be it actual pedals or the ones on your throttle) and some form of something to look around hands free, be it VR or TrackIR. I use TrackIR 5, personally. DCS: World is free and you get 2x free planes. a TF-51 (an unarmed P-51 Mustang with all the switches and knobs) and a Su-25t Frogfoot (more of Flaming Cliffs 3 thing, no clickable cockpit).. it gives you a feel of the game. And, TO ME, there has been nothing more fun than DCS: World. From prop planes to jets to freakin' helicopters and all of their own characteristics based straight from the real world. Planes/helicopters are expensive.. It's an expensive game. From the controls to a way to look around hands free (TrackIR 5/VR) to each "module" (planes/helis) being anywhere from $45-$80. I've got over a grand in this game and regret nothing lol. EDIT: Oh, and yes, the jets have all their respective weapons systems. 20mm and 300mm cannons, AIM-120B's and C's, AIM-9b/m/x, etc. etc. (different from Russian jets). There are multiplayer servers and the maps are GIGANTIC. It sounds easy but trust me, flying in formation with 4 or 5 other jets is no easy task UNTIL you've gotten good at the game. You go from driving on a flat plane to flying ... and when flying, you can lose sight/visual of your teammates in the blink of an eye because you're 30,000 feet in the air. Did you pas them by 1 or 2 miles? Are they 3,000 feet above you? Beneath you? It's amazing. There's radios and channels and stuff to help communicate. If you love sim racing, don't even try DCS: World because you will leave sim racing behind lol. It's funny, because after playing DCS: World, you could literally hop into a Mustang/P-51 and know how to prime it up, flick whichever switches and take off in one. Not saying you wouldn't die trying to do it in the real world, btu it gives you that much realism. Same for helicopters and jets. You learn how to start every single thing. Check it out on KZbin. I never thought I'd fall in love with a flight sim, but THIS one is one of a kind. It's as real as it gets... short of feeling 9G's. You can black your pilot out, but yeah, no way to simulate that in your home. Takes a moderately powerful system as it will have you pushing 24+ GB RAM in a single player mission. The graphics are great. Sonic booms. You can see your wings cutting air vapors when turning hard enough at the proper speeds. JEEZ I'll shut up, I just love sim games. They've somewhat recently recoded it to use multiple cores far more efficiently, so now it can push your GPU much better and overall run at much higher framerates, too.

[@patrikuszusz]

bro using the ers the whole lap lol, cannot shift to save his life lol

[@paulordbm]

It's pretty difficult to take any feedback seriously when the driving is this bad. One thing that is quite clear though is that the traction is way easier. He was holding those low gears for a long time with the engine screaming for help and the car was not immediately spinning. With improvements to AI and FFB I might just buy this year's game.

I just got F1 23 for the PC on STEAM which was on sale. Right now I am just doing the Time Trials on different tracks and testing out the VR for the game. Some say the VR is very bad and twitchy viewing, but I changed a few settings and I just see very little twitching while driving in cockpit view in VR. Right now the game is just entertainment for me and don't follow F1 on TV. Too early to give any good opinions on the game. My favorite track or I should say most driven on from other games is Australia. I did try the Las Vegas city track which is not bad. Vehicle handling so far has not been bad, but have not done any races, so don't know how the AI vehicles are. Thanks for your video and take care.

Codemasters haven't been able to get tarmac racing right in any racing game so far, and look to be still failing at it now..

Sort your s**t out!

F1 2018 has better graphics on the wheels, you can see the smoke when you lock up from the cockpit view, on career pilot mode you can even get demoted to another team if you don't perform well, the graphics of the dust when going over grass is better to any to date, the car feels good and not too arcadish compared to other F1s. Then, all F1 lack how marbles would impact the car and make them even more visible, the rain spray is non-existent, damage to the car should be more simulated, AI has no personality, all cars drive the same, which many times it makes long train of cars during a whole race

[@fvingerhoed]

Happy they made the view much better because they thinned out that beam ..

[@ben_braaf]

I love it..but what I really don't like is the in ear mechanic...it doesn't sound like a radio message and they just do this every year

[@ViralityG]

@BoostedMedia Please may you review the theatre mode for F1 23. No other content creators have commented on whether the Theatre mode has been improved. Major things like being able to view other peoples perspectives (online racing), being able to save a race replay even if you crashed or DNF. Being able to adjust cameras. All these basic fundamentals for a games replayability and content creation. Might have to wait for the full game, but if it's possible may you touch base on this. Love the content, keep it up!

[@donnythedealer9761]

i highly doubt the theatre mode has changed in this game. Maybe a future iteration. But they will have just ported the old system

[@bradleyrossetti2592]

So what wheel base are you using as the Fanatec looks like it has no cables connected and it is placed in a great position...........

[@hudsongama]

Good to se someone using cockpit cam, great video…most of the corners you can do 1 or 2 gears higher, you’ll be much faster and reduce wheel spin ;)

[@briarios666]

Pity it's very unrealistic tho what's the point in a cockpit view if your gonna get rid of the mirrors not only that actual F1 drivers also say it's way off realistic

[@-._.-._.-Sully-._.-._.-]

From what I’ve heard the grip is significantly better so lower gears can be used. That was my biggest complaint with F1 22 as the traction was so bad it forced you to use unrealistic gears through corners which felt so unnatural and wrong. For the longest time I refused to use higher gears and run med tc but despite med tc being more realistic as far as grip it caused so much understeer some tracks like Suzuka were undrivable so eventually had to turn it back off. It made me leave the game months ago once I got AC, unfortunately I’m on Xbox until I build my pc so my sim racing titles are very limited.

[@hudsongama]

Even with better grip, player could carry more speed with higher gears in some turns where he’s using 2nd and even 1st gear. There’s no turn done 1st gear in Interlagos 😉

[@-._.-._.-Sully-._.-._.-]

@@hudsongama is some cases yeah but you don’t get as much rotation in higher gears and you have to brake slightly earlier to make the corner. I didn’t see which corner he used 1st but yeah there are only a few corners on the calendar that require 1st. However it is common for drivers to hit 2nd especially around turn 9. My problem with F1 22 is that nearly every corner taken in 4th or 3rd is taken in 3rd or 2nd respectively in real life. That game grinds my gears

[@hudsongama]

⁠​⁠@@-._.-._.-Sully-._.-._.- I agree 100%…he’s doing Bico de Pato in 1st gear at 4:12

[@Vanillagorilla94]

I’ve been having a blast with f1 23

[@derekfung5129]

10:32 ummmm really realistic

[@Kylosgrande]

Cam settings for that cockpit view?, looks great!

[@bloodangelz]

Would love you to race, comment and compare on the golden oldies of Crammonds f1 games, to modern games and see what you think of the handling ect..

[@JoeyJoJo85]

Problem with crammonds f1 games is they aren't designed for modern equipment. Force Feedback is crucial for simulators

[@bloodangelz]

@@JoeyJoJo85 yeah, I agree. I think I seen someone using a wheel to play, no FFB though… just interested how would think it compared. As I think handling and AI was very good on it way back when we would have race weekends with friends at mine

[@bloodangelz]

Wonder if they will patch in the new look Merc?

[@Spider-Man62]

Probably not for launch since they already modeled it. But with the sporting update later in the year all cars will be updated

[@theglitch312]

They've done car update patches for a while now.

[@robbks]

Can we turn off the in-cockpit wheel and arms completely?

[@youngyingyang]

Does it even output telemetry for buttkickers and motion rigs? If not this game is just that, a game, not a simulator.

[@detonator2112]

Noob asks: Is there any console F1 game where you can drive Senna/Mansell/Keke Rosberg/Prost and Schumacher/Hakkinen eras?

[@17an28]

Transmission is cooked 😂

[@wiegraf9009]

Uhhh the car snapping out on you on fresh mediums on fairly gentle corners would suggest a big no.

[@sparkyf1sim466]

Your front tires were above 100 degrees. In F1 22, that created much slippage... it could be a reason for some of your loss of grip.

[@mrscanlan.5016]

THEY SHOULD MAKE IT SO WE CAN CHOOSE TO START FROM THE YEAR 2000, YEAH, AT 17/18, WITH ALL REAL DETAILS FROM TEAMS , DRIVERS, Managers and so on.

[@Ghosn]

It's a shame there is no proper triple monitor support. That is a big part of having the 'sim' title. It's not just about the physics and FFB but also how the game immerses you. And it's why I will never spend money on this game, or any to follow until us triple monitor uses get that support.

[@nitromcclean]

We use F1 21 and F1 22 on triple screens, so it would surprise me if F1 23 could not work on triple screens. I have to say however, I am using nVidia Surround. That way for a game it is like you are using one very wide screen. But it works.

[@frenett1966]

Great vid 👍👍 What were your cockpit cam settings?

[@Robin_S78]

Where is the FFB under wheelspin?

[@rikone01]

Hey Will, can you share what the tilted fans on top of your computer rack are? I'm interested in maybe putting something like that on top of my pc to better cool. Thanks.

[@HeikaBlade1]

If I'm not mistaken those are two GPUs.

[@vincentparenteau6854]

Can you share the settings you are using for the csl dd?

[@netlawman2001]

Curious as to when you will give your full rig impressions given the F1 series supports dbox motion. Thx.

[@kneevie]

For those that sre new to the f1 games, why is it some cars red line from red to purple w no green and other cars go from green to red to purple? What's going on there?

[@BLennox_]

Green is when drs is active. All go from red to blue or “purple”

[@AdamsOlympia]

Why do so many people seem to prefer 2020 to the newer ones? Just getting into the F1 series myself. Bought '23 last week on sale and I have 2020 in my steam library; just haven't tried it yet. 23 is great fun though.

[@thirstypants]

I think the most unrealistic thing I saw was Stroll on Pole...

[@BramSmidt_]

what are your f1 2023 cockpit settings because i play cockpit and want good camera settings please reply

[@TheSnaveeelPlaysGames]

F1 teams use a modified R-Factor 2; the F1 sim of our dreams already exists, with all modern tracks and the hard work done. If they really wanted to do it, it would be comparatively simple.

[@TTD-Fire]

4:06 anyone else realise anybody outside of the Top 8 is completely Orderly of the teams?

[@tdurb0]

Aah you said the magic words: Automobilista Two. Those two words give me lots of hope for this game so thanks for the upload mate

[@Phaucs]

codies should add an option that turns your overtake off automatically when you've run the battery out 😉

[@tjstewart69]

How are you driving with no wires connected to the back of the wheelbase?

[@boostedmedia]

There are wires connected to it. 😂

[@tjstewart69]

@@boostedmedia I was just curious if you had some special adapter or something because I have the same wheel and wheelbase and mine has power, clutch, and pedal wires very obviously sticking out of the back ports, vs yours looking totally unhooked. Wish mine looked that clean 😂

must be the cinematic editing.

Nope I had CSL Elite V2 pedals on the rig for this. They were connected via USB though

[@hiddenhawk8090]

you make lovely videos but for the love of god please shift when the light turns blue😂😂

[@boostedmedia]

Haha sorry. First time playing an F1 game in a very long time!

[@tonykollberg]

I wish they could pre-configure the most famous wheels on the market so they are as authentic as possible from the beginning, so the broad masses could get started more easily. And I wish they could put a little more effort to making a "sim" instead of a "game", the step isn't so big. It feels unnecessary to spend a lot of money on a steering wheel for this game. Maybe they should make two versions, one for simracers and one for "casual xbox gamers". (or a "game mode" and a "sim mode" in the same version).

[@artsmart8759]

Is there a native triple screen support?

[@cookiemonster2189]

Hi , good video , great you talked about AI being really good i kind of beginner when sim racing with a wheel.but i do understand when AI are not good in racing sims, i enjoy f1 22 one of reasons is the AI being good yes they make mistakes but very realistic AI i am not on 110 strength and still have a great challenge

[@T3Houdini]

in f1 22 the AI will sometimes just want to dive bomb you, i was watching Matt212 and he had lapped a car and at turn 1 that car dive bombed him xD the AI code is good yes but in some cases like that trash, in some of my races the AI will just randomly do a pit stop maneuver on me down a straight

[@edteach3r]

“No mouse support”… unbelievable that we are still saying this in 2023. This us a non-starter for me. Thanks for the video, mate.
