I am enjoying the game but dont have an option for the ERS stystem?
Is it in the game?

[Brucy]

Nope, don't think so. But I have absolutely no idea why.

"Qoute from http://www.formula1blog.com/f1-news/how-f1s-energy-recovery-system-ers-will-work-in-2014/
I think it should be possible to design the ERS where It is effectively always on, so there is no need for a separate button on the steering wheel."

The 2014 season has ERS. KERS was till last season.

[Slakemoth]

ERS is the new KERS in the 2014 F1 season. It is controlled by the engine management system this year so that the driver has less to worry about in the cockpit. The F1 game has correctly emulated that aspect. So no ERS button.

Well, that's not correct, see Vettel at Spa for example.

As in the link from Slakemouth

"Drivers pushed a button to access the power stored by the Kers (2013) system, but the new Ers (2014) will be controlled by the engine management computer, so it means there is less work for the drivers to do. "

You might be getting confused with DRS, which is still in game and there is a button for.

You can tell that it kicks in when you fly up through the gears so much faster now.

ERS is done automatically

[Revan]

Yeah I've noticed this as well.

Is from January. Since then, some teams, specifically in my example, Red Bull. Have developed a push to pass system using thier ERS.

Any link to any info on this?

[Mike]

I'll have to find it, the commentators for Sky were discussing it during the Belgian GP.
It's entirely possible that I am wrong though, if they were.

ERS is pre set and is completely automatic with no manual input from the driver in the cockpit, both in real life and in game. However, the overtake button was introduced this year, which effectively replaced the KERS button. This did not make it into F1 2014 game:

[WadeOhh]

In real life, it does happen automatically by default, but it can be overridden by the driver if he is battling for position (IE: trying to overtake or defending from an overtake) so he can use it in a different part of the track to what it would normally do automatically.

So while it would be 'nice' to have this feature in the game, its probably getting a little too advanced for the casual nature of this game... unfortunately :(
