Wow! It's the first time i've tried a F1 game that gives the same
impression as the onboardcameras on tv. The tracks looks really long,
and the impression of speed is great, specially at Monaco. I got some
lack of speed impression after La Source at Spa, but I think that is a
framerate issue, major slowdown there.
Physics: Have to wait and see how it will work with no aids on, but as
now the car feels too easy to drive. A very nice thing is the
precision of the steering, it is very easy to put the car on the right
kerb, and drive it like it looks on TV. Even if it doesn't have
*** physics it will probably be as fun as F1 CS 2000.
I've got two major issues though. The first one is the lack of any
sound feedback when changing gears, I really miss that pops and
bangs. The other problem is force feedback. It is in the right
direction on 100% sensitivty. The wheel is heavy to turn at
standstill, gets lighten when starting moving and tightens up as speed
increases. The problem is that each time I hit a kerb the MSFF start
shaking almost too ***. There should be a effects slider where the
kerb effects can be toned down. I don't know how this feels in a real
F1 car, but I'm afraid of the weel beiing of my wheel :)
Full release will be interesting :)
