2nd Thoughts on F1rs

6 posts by 4 people · 24 Mar 1998 - 25 Mar 1998

After doing a few more races at Spa then watching the replays I see now what made me think it was a slow down in fps/speed sense going down the long hill. It seems that it is quite realistically depicting the distance that the car is from the forest :-0 Watching the TV view replays going down that hill its just that the trees are so far that gave it the sense of going slower. BTW I cant believe how long this thing records. Its quite cool to watch so much in replay most sims only give a little of the most recent. Also these AI are pretty damn good too! I am running in Pro setting no helps on and its all I can do to maintain a mid pack spot. Even with what seems to be a very good set up I cant run away at all on the straights ( Im in the McLaren ) all I can do is try to make it up in the turns and try to out brake them. All in all pretty damn good stuff. Mike -- Remove-No-Spam to Reply

The only thing that I dont like about F1RS is the sense of speed or lack thereof, IMO it seems as though in GP2 this is far better. In F1RS I find I have to watch the speedometer to get through the turns where in GP2 I can much more easily feel the speed I need to be doing, I havent a clue why this is so though. I often find myself wishing I could take the two sims apart and combine, then I'd have exactly what I want, I like both really well but neither is exactly what I want :). Trev

I second that on the GP3 part! :-) Mike

Ahh, Peter, that's good to see. I know in the past we haven't seen eye-to-eye on the merits of GP2, but it's good to know that you enjoy a good sim no matter which god creates it. ;-) BTW: I still enjoy taking a spin once 'n awhile in GP2, it's fun and enjoyable. -- **************************** Michael E.
