About a month after its release, F1 24 update v1.5 marks the third significant update to the Formula One game already. Another long list of fixes is included, as well as a new Ferrari livery.

After the handling patch and the update to v1.4, a new version of F1 24 is on the grid right after the Spanish Grand Prix: Releasing on June 24 at 10:00 UTC, version 1.5 looks to streamline the experience again with bug fixes and tweaks.

Visually, the most obvious change is with the Ferrari team, which now has its correct name following the HP sponsorship agreement the Scuderia entered in late April. To reflect this, the virtual SF-24 is now adorned with the new livery incorporating the light blue and logo of the new sponsor. Still an unusual look on a Ferrari, but it has been on the real cars since the Miami Grand Prix, after all.

Under the hood, a number of things has been fixed or tweaked. Standout changes are the more effective ERS use for AI cars, a removed bump at Catalunya's turn 13, and multiple fixes to prevent the game from crashing in various scenarios.

More Wheel Support Added​

Meanwhile on the hardware side, some of the more important changes have been made. For one, the Logitech G923's Force Feedback issues on Xbox Series X should be resolved, meaning the wheel base should have FFB at all times.

Even better, two new wheels are now officially supported by F1 24. For one, the Turtle Beach VelocityOne set can now be used with the game, and on the other hand, the MOZA R3 Racing Bundle joins the list of supported devices. While it did work on PC previously already, the official support should mean that Xbox racers can now use the wheel - MOZA's only Xbox-compatible hardware - on their console to play F1 24 as well.

Glad to see the improved hardware support but the rest of the changelog seems like corrective action for fundamental issues that ideally shouldn't have been there in the first place, instead of almost 1 month post-launch. Better late than never though.

What's the word on the state of the handling now? Does it still have an overly pointy & unrealistically grippy front end? Is the steering rotation value now correct and not needing artificially higher degrees to smooth it out? Does it feel as good as '23 now or is it worse or better? Are they planning on working on the handling any further?

I'm still on the fence with this years release as '23 is a decent iteration and I'm far from convinced that the core racing experience in '24 adds anything significantly more than I currently have(?)
 
ok the steering rotation is not correct. heard that the ex developer said that they made this year an mistake that is not native or so i cant understood it exactly but the grippy front end i love it the grip in whole i love it. the kerbs could have been more non-forgiving but since 2010 or 2012 i asked why the in every game they made the car is so much understeering i hated it and in high speed curves over 200 km/h if you had a moment sometimes the car weent off you cant get it tamed. now you have the feel to correct almost every snap. best example why its wrong how the games since now were were false is zandvoort f1 cars drive with drs and ers the last corner without getting a snap you couldnt hold off. in the big picture i love the game for the very first time. how it was on the beginning. but before i wanted to give it back why you as? because i saw the esportler complaining the game and i was so sstupid and believed it without even playin. lucky that codemasters couldnt refund it or they didnt want to refund me idk im happy for it. the esportlers are no normal players like us the use every fault of the game to get the quickest and this is a big money question. sure the want the old handling back because than they can be sure to be strong as they were without having to learn something new. immorral people. and the bigger problem they who scream the loudest again codemasters runs behind. sad state

ps. i dont want to attack you Large Style, i just wanted to get my feelings about the game out.

but in 1.5 were no changes to the handling as i know. 1.0 the original and the updatet with 1.3

Never took your words as an attack in the slightest, so no worries mate.

Yeah, it's because 1.5 had no handling changes that made me wonder if they were reprioritising other work first or had already completely given up on improving the driving, and if it were the latter then what state is the game being left in?

From what I've gathered, plenty of people like F1 24 as it is now (apparently nearer to 23 handling but still with reduced elements of 24) and I'm glad that people like it as is - but I have a rather specific direction that would've appealed to me for '24 (more simulation-based) and it seems that they simply chose another direction (more "arcadey" / accessible) instead. I race in VR too so realism and immersion is a personal priority over anything else.

As the only real change between IRL seasons are car skins / liveries, and as '24 will seemingly only be as good as 23 at best (if that) then I'll skip this years title.
