F1C setup assistance

Ok, I installed F1C this evening, and so far really like it. The FF is excellent, graphics look great, and I really like the physics so far. I have been working on a setup for Germany, basically all I have done is shortened the gearing ratios,reduced the starting fuel load, lowered the ride height, and lowered the front and rear spoilers. I am using the soft tire compound, testing in dry conditions. My times right now are in the 1:24 range, is this getting close to being competitive, or do I have a ways to go? Thanks, -- Don Burnette remove clothes when replying via email

Is that Nurburgring or Hockenheim?

You can judge by the times the AI are doing in your sessions, esp qualifying. Iain "Don Burnette" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Well put it this way last years Hockenheim (the updated track) showed qualifying times between 1m14.389s and 1m19.775s so its not bad but dont worry I for one never get anywhere near the actual F1 times and you will probably find you will have to reduce the AI strength to around 80-85% to get into the qualifying times somewhere. Its very difficult becuase actually driving a real car and simulating the event are very different - I personally think it would be easier to get closer to the real times in a real car than in a simulation as you can feel the traction better etc. Plus the actual mechanical and electrical complexities of real F1 cars are probably not entirely accurately protrayed in the game. Dont worry about it just have a look at some F1 Challenge sites showing other players times and try to get close to them. -- Nigel 'Nats' Stutt [email hidden] "Its life, Jim, but not as we know it."

LOL.....If it's the old Hockenheim then 1:24 is ***y awesome!
