F1RS - Some tracks innacurrate?

by Jonathan Becke » Mon, 05 Jan 1998 04:00:00

I started to play F1RS half seriously yesterday, and had a go at
Hungary. Is it me, or should I be able to get around the track 4
seconds quicker than the computer can? (at it's highest level)

It was actually quite funny to qualify in the 1:12s at Hungary :-)

I then had a go at Monaco, and driving to the same level, just managed
to snatch pole.

It would appear that the play testers didn't spend too long on it.....

Did you have any help switched on?  Damage?  Ideal trajectory?

No.  Perhaps I need to start again at Monaco and see what I can do - I
could have gone the wrong way with setup. It was my first proper go at
it, you know!  :-)

Turn off ALL aids, drive in expert with all realism options on, then
report back on the ease (if present) of the game.....

Like someone said, it's like playing Quake in god-mode and just because
you can kill everyone without dying doesn't mean the playtesters didn't
spend enough time on it.

If those times were set without aids, you should be expecting a Williams
test soon.

Are you in easy mode? Have you got all the help switched on? If the answers
to these questions is no, then you are in the wrong job! Michael Schumaker

Hi Jonathan,

I totaly agree whit you.
Use FORTI NO driving aids, level expert and DEFAULT SETTING (120 LT.
FUEL and rest) is the only way to have a difficult race, but in this way
the competition is strange: slow in straight line and fast in corner.
At monaco whit this car and setup i make fatest lap 1 sec. fast than
computer's car.
CC's are too slow in corner and brake too soon before them.
PERFORMANCE EDITOR NEDEED
Excuse me for bad english i am Italian
Ciao
