much more smoothly now. Definitely starting to like it better than F1 2002,
but, I have to say there really is a problem with the front wheels coming
off the ground, and it is not just graphical. You can see it in the
telemetry, if you look at the "wheel sliding" screen you can see exactly
where the wheels stop spinning. It probably shows up in the suspension
deflection screen too but I couldn't remember what sign convention they were
using so I didn't look at it. Point being either the setups are wrong or
the suspension file is wrong or the hdv file is wrong, because in the real
cars the fronts don't come up quite that easily.
OTOH everything else feels so good now that I just played the damn thing for
three hours straight without realizing how much time had passed. If you
haven't tried it yet, set "look ahead" and "head movement" to 100%. These
two effects feel so incredibly natural and convey so much more information I
can't figure out how I ever got along without them. Now I can actually see
the apex from the turn-in point even on tight hairpins like the Mercedes
section at Nurburgring. Now I can sight my line into those fast sweepers a
fraction of a second sooner, enough to give me much more control. Fantastic
effects, should be required in all driving games.
