New to F1RS ... San Marino .. What have they done !!

3 posts by 3 people · 08 Apr 1998 - 09 Apr 1998

First impression ... I MISS the old San Marino layout. Did I get a surprice when I encountered the chicane where I expected Tamburello !!! :-) I know the history of the layout changes but I just grew used to the GP2 version of San Marino. F1RS generally .... and a couple of questions. What a manual. This is propably the worst I have seen since my Commodore 64 days. You're really on your own when navigating through most of the game. This kind of manual can almost wreck a good game. I like the "steering" approach to driving, versus the "turn and the car follows like on rails" GP2 verson. Haven't fiddled with setup yet so understeering badly on almost all tracks. Part of it propably due to my GP2 driving style. I am using a TM GP wheel as input. Driving with all help off (except steering lock). 1. Can this understeer be tuned out ? Are the standard setups really bad or is it my driving style ? 2. Are there any difference in the handling of different cars (when a person drives them) ? ie. is the Williams better than the Forti ? 3. When I hear some "moans" ... does that mean the driver is experiencing G-forces ? ... Or what !? ;-) Regards Lars ___________________________________ Remove the obvious to mail me.
I have no problems with it.... in fact the section that explains the car setup and what effect it has is probanbly the best written description (on that I've read ) of car physics and dynamics. Though, I normally try and get soft fron AR and stiff back AR, then always more wing at the front then at the back, Car a little bit stiffer at the back than at the front. Yes they are different, but I think that only the engine power varies. David Mocnay

I downloaded the melbourne setup from f1 racing sim and have used this with varying degrees of wing at about 8 circuits to take pole comfortably. I did change the brake bias more to the front though... First impression ... I MISS the old San Marino layout.
