MGPRS2 accuracy?

2 posts by 2 people · 22 Nov 1998 - 22 Nov 1998

I just started to use Monaco Grand Prix RS2. I was using a setup today at Australia which seem to be going fairly well for me. I am doing about a 1'37, which is good for me. During a 10% race, I realized that the car would act funny when I was driving very close to the car in front of me. I was trying to take advantage of the draft, like in GP2, but the car would make the sound as if the bottom of the car was hitting the ground all of a sudden. This would only happen when following another car from very close. I know that in current F1, the car aerodynamics gets messed up if they are following a car too closly. Do you think this was incorporated in this simulation? Probably, just like you could take advantage of the draft in GP2. Comments? Gostal

Yes, the cars in F1RS and RS2 get squirrely when drafting. As for the bottoming out when drafting, I haven't experienced that. If anything, I might expect the opposite if the air drag, and thus downforce, have been compromised.
