The most realistic setting is to have *all* the aids that are designed
to help drivers *OFF*. As obviously, the *real* F1 drivers do not have
these aids?
The Ideal Trajectory is selected under the graphics options screen,
and if selected to *on* it places a visible driving line on the track
surface. If you follow this line you will be driving around the
circuit on the ideal trajectory (the best racing theoretical line).
Obviously the real F1 drivers do not have a line painted around the
track, they have to learn and memorize the best line around a
particular circuit.
If you drive around almost all the circuits in f1rs (or any other
driving sim/game for that matter?) for say, about 10 to 15 laps, you
will soon begin to memorize the track, where the corners are, where to
brake, when to accelerate out of the corners, where the apex's are,
etc. Once you have a general knowledge of the circuit yourself, you
can anticipate what is coming next? this is one of the skills of a
good driver in any racing formula. And it is much preferred to just
following a line on the road!
This goes for pretty much *all* the other driving aids too, turn them
*off* and you will become a better driver in the long term (although
in the short term you may be crashing all over the place!)
