I get by OK at it, but I understand why a lot of people are PO'd at it.
F1RC forces you into a lot smaller window than most, or it bites you.

You could argue for ages whether that's a bug or a "feature".  I guess if it
is really and truly a feature, then most of us don't want a *** driving
sim as much as we think we do.  :-)

Hi Eldred,

I recommend qualifying last and working to pass the cars.  This should
put you in fewer positions where an AI car will pass you.  I haven't
race too many races with it -- I keep stalling the engine ;)

As far as the game goes, it's good for hotlapping once I worked on my
controller setup.  Linear steering with a 3% deadzone made all the
difference with my TM-FF.  Oh and the special TM-FF software fix so the
split-axis work :)

Jason.

LOL :-) Now you know what it's like when someone decides to conveniently
ignore a thread, DGF...

FWIW, I don't own it. I borrowed it from a friend, played it for two
weeks, and didn't like it. So I started up GPL again.

And I'm happy.

P.S I'm off on a week's holiday today, so don't misconstrue that as ignoring the
thread any more :-))

I better state that I don't like F1RC either, otherwise I'll become one
of the silent majority that DGF is convinced agrees with him.

In GPL? After 3+ years of driving the same sim.................

Your timing is perfect. Today I received an NDA for another beta testing
opportunity.

Can we say "pathological"? And I still stand by my words below! You

No Don didnt you know?? Ms PacMan is coming back!! hahahaha!!
Have you ever seen or heard of "Mr Beta Tester" racing anywhere at
all or on any websites via any genre` of racing? All I hear is talk, talk,
talk from the so called 'self proclaimed superb sim racer' & no more!
Seems extremely odd to me!!

Nah, most likely that Starsky & Hutch game.  Even that will prove too
difficult & bore him after a few weeks, I'll bet.
