wow...Kimster's settings are great. Just took off 1 whole sec off my time...

USA - 1:07:559

with MOMO, sure can make an even better time
shoke off another 0.2 sec on the first sector but messed up in the end

did you guys change the settings to your liking? I was using linkin's settings for the USA track, and felt I needed more front downforce...so I changed to 45 instead of 38. Result, much easier to corner and my times were about the same, if not better.

Kimster's settings for the front wing was 46. Guess I was on the right track

yeah, I tought it would affect straightline speed, after some testing....I find the straightline speed reduced by a maximum of 5kmph. But considering I can run faster overall, I might stick to higher front downforce...maybe reduce it a little to 42

dunno how to
scared I put a little too high, or a little too low...I'll just use what I have...or follow you guys

push more lah, you use MOMO, should be easy to make a good time.
I wanna ask how you guys slow down in the corners...
I have two ways of braking before a corner...first is brake during the straight, reach the corner and accelerate away
second is brake-ing into a corner, where the car basically brakes onto the red/white lines and accelerate out. Depending on the corner, this is effective.

any other methods? Yesterday I watched F1...I notice they brake much earlier than I do and accelerate just before cornering...as if collecting speed. But when I tried it on the game...too much speed, can't corner well...

I think you brake that far because your brake pressure is only 75%. I use 100%. If I brake that far ahead, I'll lose a lot of time. Racing style different maybe

Raikonen...you say corner to the left? I'm playing USA track lar....and I dun think can brake that far ahead and take the S corner well....

oh...I meant canada....dunno why the settings were 75%...edison_84 told me where to change it when I complained about the braking point.

Anyway what time can you get in USA with that low downforce settings of yours?

is there any way we can check our sector times?

kinda hard to push while looking at the HUD for the sector times
and I don't remember telemetry showing the sector times

ya, but I wanna record down the sector times and compare with you guys
like if you can do better in the 3rd sector, then I also wanna know how mar

you guys know how to change the "display" on your steering wheel? I want it to show the temp of my tyres...that day dunno pressed what button to get it

not going above 60KMPH will help

yup, it represents tyre wear and tempreature. When you come out of the pits, you notice the tyres being green rite? Basically its not heated enough. I don't really know what other colors there are, but I remember red means need to change

the wheel player is only -0.014 faster than me

wheel players have more advantage in settings, keyboard players need to change here and there according to the track

har...I dun even have a car...I use keyboard lar...
I almost did a 1:07:03 but messed up in sector 2

geng lor you. That's the best I can do with the keyboard liao. When I get a relatively good time, my computer lag pulak

give up, go to france...

I'm so off in france 1:15s....even the AI can do better than me

I didn't know the track changed a little...

I think yellow comes first...coz I saw yellow line on half my front left tyre when I was playing in USA.

nah, just the 2nd last corner of the track. Coz I'm only used to year 2000 tracks that time dun even have China or Bahrain

pointless...with that money I rather upgrade my computer so that I can play smoothly

Magny Cours is in France lar...
like Suzuka is in Japan
or Sepang is in Malaysia
Circuit de Villenueve, Canada
I think its the track names...

about the graphics...you might need more RAM. The longer you play, the less free RAM you have. Defragging helps a lot....but I spent almost 10 hours defragging and mine's still not finished
