I still have a 50 inch which was large for a tv when I bought it but my next screen will be a minimum of 65, rather a 77 so going for smaller graphics isn’t too weird of a decision, on langer screensizes these will be just fine.
Think it is certainly clear which coverage of Motorsport Liberty has drawn inspiration from, in terms of style of graphics.zac510 wrote: ↑24 Mar 2018, 00:01I found some of the animations distracting - I would look away from the main point of action to look at the animation and then find the animated infographic was not useful for me (ie it was just the driver's name, which I already had worked out).
By all means show the infographic, but don't do it with an animation.
Is it Formula E? I haven't watched a lot of that. I thought the animations borrowed a lot from modern web design that is designed to catch your attention. However on TV we don't want our attention caught so much as just want information available if we need it.BeeSee wrote: ↑24 Mar 2018, 00:19Think it is certainly clear which coverage of Motorsport Liberty has drawn inspiration from, in terms of style of graphics.zac510 wrote: ↑24 Mar 2018, 00:01I found some of the animations distracting - I would look away from the main point of action to look at the animation and then find the animated infographic was not useful for me (ie it was just the driver's name, which I already had worked out).

I sit almost 5 meter from the screen, I can just read it but comfortable it is not (on a 50 inch).BeeSee wrote: ↑24 Mar 2018, 00:17I have a 49" which seems to display ok, not sure if that's to do with viewing in UHD or not thoughSieper wrote: ↑23 Mar 2018, 23:50Also, I think the graphic sizes are now designed for 65 inch and upwards screensize.

Yes that "zoom car passing" sound is awful!ESPImperium wrote: ↑24 Mar 2018, 00:26From my hour watching the free practices so far, the new Graphical User Interface is too small for me, Last Years one was the best for a on screen GUI. As for the team markers against each driver, really??? The colours were enough for me last year.
I have one final complaint, has anyone herd the new zoom 'car passing' sound at certain points? The thing is distracting and poorly implemented.
Yes i know that they are trying to put their stamp and branding on the sport, but some things are best left alone, or just tweaked.
I am waiting on the new camera on the halo, however we are a year away from it, as i think it will be redesigned *again* for next year, lowered and that daft central collar deleted with two pillars each side of where the wing mirrors are attached right now, with the mirrors attached to them. The Halo is a interim and temporary solution, but the shoulder cam needs deleted, its useless now. The nose cams and T Cam is enough.
Ill give it a year of tweaks till i pass a proper judgement, however without proper and swift adjustments within 5 races, i reserve the right to pass a judgement quicker.
As for the App, that has many nice things added like the no spoilers thing addition. However, apart from a iTunes or AppStore purchase, you now need a F1 account to use it. I pay £20 a year and have still an additional registration? They have that wrong! At least they aint asking you to sign in with facebook these days... ...As id be screwed as i don't have one.
Was thinking more about Amercian motorsport coverage. Sure we'll get used to the on screen displays soon enough - think so far Liberty have got the minority of tweaks right.zac510 wrote: ↑24 Mar 2018, 00:42Is it Formula E?

However I'm comforted that Liberty showed last year that they're not afraid to say "that didn't work" and stop trying a new idea if it didn't really work out. Thus I'm happy that they're trying things, as long as they recognise when it doesn't work and fix it or change it back.
They use that each and every time they cut to a different scene. Horrible. The sound has a post apocaliptic kind of ring to it for me, eerie. It reminds me of the soundscore of the book of eli.BeeSee wrote: ↑24 Mar 2018, 01:19Yes that "zoom car passing" sound is awful!ESPImperium wrote: ↑24 Mar 2018, 00:26From my hour watching the free practices so far, the new Graphical User Interface is too small for me, Last Years one was the best for a on screen GUI.

That'd be the attempt at attracting the USian market. If you're not USian, please ignore the sound effects.ESPImperium wrote: ↑24 Mar 2018, 00:26I have one final complaint, has anyone herd the new zoom 'car passing' sound at certain points? The thing is distracting and poorly implemented.
