Haven't got F1RS yet, still waiting for it here in Oz. People have said that the setups are different, so I'm wondering if anyone has worked out a good way to convert favourite GP2 setups to F1RS ones? I don't mean literal translations, but more of the car feel, eg a GP2 setup that has slight understeer on fast corners, with slight oversteer on slow corners what kind of changes will be needed to have the same in F1RS... I'm planning to write a util that will do this conversion. So if anyone has any comments or suggestions etc please post them.

Davd, I've had the sim a couple of weeks now and after GP2 it feels as if it has incredible understeer. You soon get get used to it - I just find that I need an even bigger gap between front wing and rear. I almost depaired at first, particularly with the sensitive throttle. I'm beginning to master it - I'm now into the 1:18s at Monaco with absolutely no helps on at all. I'm 40 years old and just can't stop playing the thing - what a sad bastard ;-) Regards -- Neil Charlton http://www.charlt.demon.co.uk/ --

Richard, thanks for the tip - I haven't tried it yet. I'll give it a go. Regards -- Neil Charlton http://www.charlt.demon.co.uk/ --
