I've managed to flip the car 360 deg. on one of the fast straights, by toggeling wheels with one og the opponents. The damage in F1RS is super. I like the way you may damage the front wing, without ripping it off. The car just handles more difficult in corners.

Err, well, I've only experienced the 'black sky' bug. Win3.1 had more bugs, Win95 still does... F1RS will let you roll over but you always seem to roll back. I've never actually remained upside down. Jeff ps- personally, I don't believe the bashing. This game rocks!

This game rocks! Perhaps you don't have the realistic damage setting on? Or perhaps one of the aids (anti-skid?) that restores the car to the track when spinning? I've landed a few times upside down and remained there. :) DS

The crashes are pretty cool in F1RS if you have your own damage turned on. If you race with no damage on your car, no one else will loose parts in a crash either. If you go back and watch the crash in replay, you can see that the "Balistics" of the car parts, and the collision model isn't perfect, but while your in the middle of a race, it looks pretty good. Crashes are a small part of this great sim. If you like to drive real cars fast, on twisty roads, I think this delivers that feeling better than any other sim I've tried, and I haven't tried any of the NSF or similar titles. Some feel that real F1 cars would behave and feel so differently from those we drive, that F1RS is not an accurate simulation of that experience. I respect their opinions, but that "real car" feeling, I will ever know that "real F1 car" feeling, keeps F1RS a favorite. Larry
