Are Melbourne and Suzuka really flat?

Is that correct?seems quite different from gp2 topography.Who is right? It seems that for the farther tracks, Ubi didn't want to spend money for a more detailed research.I'm brazilian and interlagos seems also quite different,mainly on the fast section conecting to the start line .That's full throttle (even with no wing angles) till senna's S and in f1rs that's impossible to do

Gameplay aside, I believe the two mentioned tracks in Psygnosis' Formula 1 are dead-ringers...Too bad they don't have a sim to match the graphics! =P Cheers! Marc

On 12 Jan 1998 02:39:23 GMT, "rafael medeiros" Hi, Suzuka is definately NOT flat. There is quite a elevation change from turns 3-7 and a reasonable "dip" in the section af track leading into the 130R (turn 14-15??). As for Melbourne, it is 100% flat. Anthony Bulloch Brisbane, AUS

Pity about the ugly city skyline for Melbourne though. I actually really wish they would fix it. It really seems to detract from the graphics for that circuit.

Does it really matter? Oris your real name Alexander Wurz and are you using F1RS as a practice medium before the start of the 1998 season? If not, then the chances of you ever driving on these circuits is minimal and therefore any differences between what is real and what is not means ***-all! -- Bruce. (At home)

If he ever goes to Melbourne when the GP is not on he can drive around the track. And for the record, the track is in fact flat

Suzuka is not flat track. Many japanese sim-racer is very disappointed and want to fix it.

Hi Bruce, You're the kind of person who may love formula 1 psygnosis, and power F1 or buy a 21in monitor ,receives a 14in and it's ok because things will be displayed just a little smaller. You should give your arrogant anwsers to another newsgroup,not here where everyone is trying to discuss and improve the simulators. these games are supposed to simulate right the whole thing including the tracks,right?

Riiiiight. In that case why don't we use a VW Beetle bodyshell on the cars and have the performance of a Monster Truck. We could even make them go on dirt tracks. After all, you're never going to drive the real thing so what does it matter....right? If you're going to do it at all then you might as well do it right. Cheers! John

says... Suzuka definitely seems flat. But I remember Martin Brundle standing at the end of the Snake saying, 'I never realised how steep this was when I was driving it' so maybe the effect is lessened in car. Still i think this is one area where GP2 still scores big points. Brian -- remove 'bye' from address to reply

>Is that correct?seems quite different from gp2 topography.Who is right? I think GP2 is right. Suzuka is too flat in Ubi. Other tracks that have topography problems in Ubi F1 are Hungaroring and Imola. Teemu. --

Suzuka has a cross-over section of the track. If it were flat, the track would in fact intersect at this point. Do you see any traffic lights on the Suzuka raceway? Duh!

Wow, really quite stupefying! Considering that usenet is not generally reknowned for the intellectual content, every single person except yourself managed to read between the lines rather than grasping at the purely literal. Isn't that a little embarrasing for you? Cheers! John

Lets not forget the French passion for nuclear testing. Maybe they thought it a good idea to level a few circuits to make the design of THIER NEW TRACKS a little easier. Poor old Japan, they never get a break do they, hehehehehehehe.

Bruce, I think what Rafael is trying to say is: No-one likes a smart-ass. Give it a little thought. I'm sure you can contribute constructively if you try. Hey, you might even get a little respect! > Hi Bruce, > You're the kind of person who may love formula 1 psygnosis, and power F1 > or buy a 21in monitor ,receives a 14in and it's ok because things will be > displayed just a little smaller. > You should give your arrogant anwsers to another newsgroup,not here where > everyone is trying to discuss and improve the simulators. > these games are supposed to simulate right the whole thing including the
