I think they have to stick to the outdated tech because fully electric rights have been given to formula E until something like 2040.

And why is that? Right, because MBS wanted to do his oil sheikh friends a huge favor and tie F1 to fossil fuels with some "sustainable" greenwashing (which still emits CO2).

Formula 1 legally can’t go fully electric.

Nah, there are always ways around that. For example, to get rid of PU specifics and let the teams choose their own tech path. ("F1 isn't fully electric by regulations, some teams just happen to go down that path.")

Another alternative would be to prescribe a fly wheel (can be a small one), so the propulsion would be a hybrid of electric and kinetic energy store.

My personal pick would be to get rid of most regulations that are not directly tied to safety and let teams figure out what works best for them.

Just lower the minimum weight and let the car engineers figure out how to get there.

All kidding aside the only realistic way to reduce that much weight is to remove the battery.

The ICE weighs no less than 132kg ("ICE must be no less than 132.0kg" -- §C5.5.1(c) of the technical regulations) and a full fuel tank is currently 70kg. So over 200kg for the sticking to outdated tech but the 35.0kg batteries (§C5.17.9) are definitively the problem.

Fossil fuel desinformation campaign worked wondrfully.

Me saying “you have to set it up”, followed by your reply “comes with support out of the box”, didn’t really make sense.

You have to map the inputs, not write a gamepad driver to actually support the hardware. Unity supports gamepads out of the box. That's a fact.

Yeah it does, but you still have to set it up. It doesnt just work magically.

I didn't say anything about magic, just that it should be less work than making this graphic.

Yeah, this isn't news and the studio owners who can cash big checks to sell don't care.

The remake is written in Unity. It comes with gamepad support out of the box.

Yeah, which makes an updated release with actual gamepad controls unlikely. I honestly don't get why there is no gamepad support. It's a Unity game. Adding support for gamepads is most likely less work than making this graphic the developer added to the archive:

I revived this community because a mod there didn't let me post Ukraine The Latest podcast episodes because the mod was incapable of skipping the ads (user error) and therefore the podcast must be spam. I honestly don't understand what's going on over there.

Everything but nuclear.

From where does the electricity come?

Turbines

I think only nuclear could have provided the energy.

Of course you would think that but you aren't impartial.

What would you have done in the 1960ies and 1970ies to end the usage of fossil fuels?

How many times am I going to hear about Chernobyl or Three Mile Island?

Until you realize that a water dam is very different from a solar panel.

The last 70 years and the next 30 would have been enough to prevent global warming.

Suggesting that this would only be possible by going nuclear has absolutely zero basis in reality. Spinning magnets to generate electricity is a known way generate electricity since way before the first nuclear reactor was ever built. Hydropower and wind turbines were invented during the industrial revolution.

You have to switch all processes to electricity or hydrogen like steel making or fertilizer.

Doesn't turn Uranium into a regrowing resource.

Renewables have killed closer to 180,000.

Clearly one braking dam is an argument against wind turbines and solar panels. Oh the horror and deaths of free rooftop electricity to power ACs.

I think they are but so far to a lesser extend. I only know the name because it was mentioned in one of the attack reports.

Only 10 years away from commercial viability. This time for real.
