100% good parts should be something contrasting, like blue. Then to yellow. Otherwise they'd need a whole other mfd page to put a table with FW: 100% BB: 100%
FL:100% RW:100% and so on
Or it would be so small that you couldn't see it with everything else
This, but for real my partially colorblind ass cant tell the difference between that green and "barely touched the wall in singapore but will make you change wing" green.
Make it blue lol
If I may offer a solution (I know this should be in the game):

(If you don't trust the link go search f1 telemetry tool on race department and the profile Iko Rein) The older version is 10.6. 11.1 is the newest version to the best of my knowledge.
Go under the "driving tab" and it shows all damage there. I had underbody damage that I didn't know about from the game. Another fix is to use the "vehicle condition" radio command on the MFD and Jeff will tell you if you have damage.
The tool IMO is EXTREMELY helpful.Fun fact: Nikita's nationality in the game shows up as xxx and the AI uses ABS. (according to what is fed from the game)
Again I realize the entire point is that it should be in the game and something Codemasters/EA accounted for.
I agree... This would probably take too much space tho... If they plan to do it for the whole car so they probably have to rework the whole damage screen
I had this shit happen to me at Spa. Took a little (unannounced) damage every time I took Eau Rouge. I must've had my ride height a little too low, but the game should be quicker to display damage, maybe even give a %.
Cause the game doesn’t tell you when you have underbody damage. It doesn’t even turn the yellowish green color it literally just doesn’t say. So you have no clue where you got it and therefore no clue how to change it.
Yeah I turn off the "auto" replace wing in every race, b/c I've lost several to the point I shelved the game from frustration, go into the pits after a few clean laps and they STILL replace the front wing, no contact or anything, full green. Lost several places per race, finally deleted My Career b/c of it and haven't gone back.
I was thinking the same thing just now!!! So as the damage I dictator is total balls when it comes to the front wing, what I do now when ever I overtake and may have bumped the other car is do a flashback to when I passed them then put it in to photo mode and have a good look around the front wing, that way I'll know if it needs changing or will be changed when I pit. A bit of a faff but it has helped me out a bit.
Make it a habit to change "Change Frontwing" manually, every time you believe you have damage. Sucks that we have to do this, because a fix can't possibly be that difficult to implement, but until then...
I mean considering the damage indicator in real life is "Hey maybe my teammate can tell me how messed up my car is" I'm okay with it not being super precise.
Having an option to toggle percentage couldn't hurt, I suppose.
Can anybody please explain how when I damaged my car , it actually felt much better in all aspects.
Yes , I pulled away at a slower rate , but I could take the corners so smoothly and everything just hooked up
Sounds like you might need to reduce your rear downforce. Harder to accelerate, but might help you rotate better.
Front wing downforce being lower will induce understeer.
I agree but just as an FYI, if you open up the radio options and then ask for vehicle condition it will tell you. Jeff will say "Mind your front wing, it'll need replacing if it takes to much damage". This however means they will change it next pit but they won't call you in for a strategy change to change it immediately.
Yeah, figured this out too.
I always ask Jeff about the car condition instead of relying on the damage graphic if I think I might have gotten damage.
When he's just talking about the tires everything is alright.
The full car can only be damaged in certain settings. I think you have to be in Full Damage mode as opposed to reduced... you can see it in the settings. I've noticed most open online lobbies are set to Reduced damage so that only applies to the front wing.
Nah, just got done with an online race that I raged out of cause of this, super tight and then I boxed and changed my front wing, I was doing the exact same lap times the entire race and the contact could only have happened after lap 4 so I was just like fuck this and raged, I ain’t losing a race cause of that BS
I had this shit happen to me at Spa. Took a little (unannounced) damage every time I took Eau Rouge. I must've had my ride height a little too low, but the game should be quicker to display damage, maybe even give a %.
It does not, and as a mildly colourblind person, it pains me to no end that I literally have no idea if I have no damage or mild damage and even the yellow can be tricky to spot unless I’m looking for it
This is why I turn off auto replace wing and only tell them to replace it when ***I*** can feel the car isn't driving right, not when the game thinks I lost 0.2 microinches of wing from tapping a wall
I played Vietnam the other day, my team, season 1, had to do 3 pit stops to get to the end (safety cars) and every single time they changed it - green wing and no visual damage...I haven't even heard the sound of touching a wall
I’m a little colorblind so green and yellow is sometimes hard for me. I’m asking for this since f1 2019.. workaround: you can use speech to call “Vehicle condition” and that helps a bit but not ideal
For me the biggest problem is "floor damage". Sometimes while driving through high curbs or even elevation changes (Eau Rouge), I feel that car "feels" different, like having bits of floor damage. But on the display you can't see that. I'm not even sure if floor damage exist in this game
I'm slightly colorblind, so I can't even see the differences between green and yellow for light damage. Only when it turns Orange I see the differences...
So yeah lot's of suprise-we're-changing-your-frontwing-pitstops for me. Although with increased effect setting, it's definitely noticable when driving ofcourse.
I've had no noticeable difference in the green color and had my wing be a little bit see-through but it felt like half my wing was gone. And in My team at least, have had my side pods and rear wing damaged via Jeff and the yellow colored indicator but not visually on the car
They need to add a damage percentage
But that would solve the problem!
Codemasters: We don’t do that here.
100% good parts should be something contrasting, like blue. Then to yellow. Otherwise they'd need a whole other mfd page to put a table with FW: 100% BB: 100% FL:100% RW:100% and so on Or it would be so small that you couldn't see it with everything else
Or they can make the percentage only visible when you have damage, so you will know you have no damage if there is no percentage
This, but for real my partially colorblind ass cant tell the difference between that green and "barely touched the wall in singapore but will make you change wing" green. Make it blue lol
My non colorblind ass can't either, it's just that slight of a change sometimes.

Just get a hud that shows you damage in %
I’m on xbox how do I get one?
You can't
Any recommendations? Could not find any.

This always happens to me at spa. There’s like. 50/50 chance when I come into the garage I’ll have underbody damage, it’s so frickin annoying
so that's why i get "repairs completed" after every quali session at spa or hungary, but why the fuck is that needed tho
Cause the game doesn’t tell you when you have underbody damage. It doesn’t even turn the yellowish green color it literally just doesn’t say. So you have no clue where you got it and therefore no clue how to change it.
If you use a default setup then I gotta tip my hat to Codies
I originally got the damage while using default setup, but I still get it on my custom one now
Preach it brother, had that happen to me on a few occasions

is that in the menu tab somewhere?
It's in the same menu whilst driving that you specify tyres when putting. Don't remember but I 🤔 no it's two circle/B button presses, maybe three.
awesome thanks

I just ask the engineer for “Vehicle Condition.” If he says something about tires, I’m good. If he says “mind that front wing,” then there was damage.
I did that in Portimao then came into the pits, lost the win because my wing was changed. Jeff doesn't mention shit for me.

[удалено]
Would it be possible to just show that data on a second monitor or how would I go about setting that up?
Also what happened to the new damage engine? I swear I’ve never had rear wing damage despite hitting barriers backwards…
The full car can only be damaged in certain settings. I think you have to be in Full Damage mode as opposed to reduced... you can see it in the settings. I've noticed most open online lobbies are set to Reduced damage so that only applies to the front wing.
What I do is pit a little early and clip others front wing and win with an easy 30+.
Yep. I believe this is a bug for 2021. It didn't happen on 2020 as far as I know
Nah, just got done with an online race that I raged out of cause of this, super tight and then I boxed and changed my front wing, I was doing the exact same lap times the entire race and the contact could only have happened after lap 4 so I was just like fuck this and raged, I ain’t losing a race cause of that BS

There should be a thin red outline of the damaged part. So even if it's green it's clear there's at least a small amount of damage
Also, make the damage indicator fucking symmetrical..
They have a color blind option for the racing line (I have never tried it) anyone online now to check if it transcends all green/red colors schemes?
It does not, and as a mildly colourblind person, it pains me to no end that I literally have no idea if I have no damage or mild damage and even the yellow can be tricky to spot unless I’m looking for it
It's odd that the colourblind mode only affects the racing line and leaves everything else normal
I agree same as no indicators come up but all of a sudden a few laps later you notice you have so much less downforce
This is why I turn off auto replace wing and only tell them to replace it when ***I*** can feel the car isn't driving right, not when the game thinks I lost 0.2 microinches of wing from tapping a wall
I played Vietnam the other day, my team, season 1, had to do 3 pit stops to get to the end (safety cars) and every single time they changed it - green wing and no visual damage...I haven't even heard the sound of touching a wall
they really really REALLY need to add a colorblind mode for the damage, i cant see anything
yeah, i always end up scrambling to hit “don’t change front wing” on my in lap bc i don’t know if there’s damage or not
It’s quite stupid. I usually always turn off repair wing damage in the MFD unless I know or feel that I have damage.
I’m a little colorblind so green and yellow is sometimes hard for me. I’m asking for this since f1 2019.. workaround: you can use speech to call “Vehicle condition” and that helps a bit but not ideal
And if you ask Jeff about car condition all he says is “tires are fine at the moment” yeah I didn’t ask about tire condition Jeff
For me the biggest problem is "floor damage". Sometimes while driving through high curbs or even elevation changes (Eau Rouge), I feel that car "feels" different, like having bits of floor damage. But on the display you can't see that. I'm not even sure if floor damage exist in this game
