I don't notice that at all. I also thought it good to mention that
the extreme slowdown that people with F1RS complained
about is gone with this game. I kept expecting to radically
slow down when I went off, but was able to keep a handle on
it. I now realize what all those people were upset about.
New when you go into the kitty litter you slow down quickly
but you also have no traction to speak of. Plus the FF wants
to suck you farther into it... The FF is not up to GPL standards
obviously but it is far better than SCGT or F1RS.
I have also found that the physics in this game are fairly
believable. I had a car rearend my right rear and the right
rear of the car lifted and spun a little. It looked quite realistic
from the***pit view. I also think the driving physics are
was more accurate than some people would like to think.
I'll wait to hear what Alison has to say about it before giving
further comment though :-)
