Hi sim racers, does anyone have any idea, what amount of traction control in F1RC would simulate best the traction control of real F1 cars? I tried 50% which seems to be too little. 100% feels quite dull, but perhaps it is as it is...? You can push the pedal as much as you will already in the middle of corners? Can it really be so also in the real F1's? Arto

I understand that they're using a similar sliding scale IRL ;-) Some drivers prefer to turn the TC down, to help them balance the car on the throttle; others use more 'aggressive' TC. Jonny
does the TC cause 4 cars to die at the start??? dave henrie "Jonny Hodgson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

When Microsoft programs the controllers, 4 blue screens out of about 20 is normal :) "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:eqFL6.12483$[email hidden]...

if you hit the throttle too early you still run wide, as we have seen a few times this year already, drivers can still overdrive the cars. pez Mike White <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:fKTN6.2419$[email hidden]...
