F1GP: traction control too hard.

by Great Master of the Univer » Sun, 19 Jun 1994 00:22:04

When I raced once with traction control off with keyboard, the car was
jittery and hard to drive. Is this game realistic when trac. cont. is
turned off? also, any advice to driving in the rain? it seems to always
rain at Interlagos(Brazil) the FAQ does not give any advice. Is it
impossible to win in the rain? I currently drive at semi-pro level

If you're playing with the keyboard, you effectively have a digital throttle,
its either on or off. This was the reason for including the traction control
option - to smooth out the power delivery. To have more control, buy an
analogue joystick then switch off traction control.

You've got to be very smooth and practice lots. Again, an analogue joystick
will help.
