Squirrel 5,180 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 If my wheel was compatible with my ps4 I would get it for that but as its not I'll get it for the pc instead. F1 on a controller just doesn't feel right when you're used to a wheel.

DavidCore89 7,404 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Unlikely, fell outta love with these titles after 2013 on PS3. In 2015 when the game was released, drivers could cut 95% of corners (especially at Barcelona) and get no penalties, that kinda showed me how serious Codemasters had taken their own game (not very at all). The game gets even more 'arcadey' each year and now it's a fully-fledged arcade racer. It's probably not gonna be a shit game, but they're a million miles away from having something with any realism. F1 game fans have been disappointed for years. Codemasters fling them a half-finished game and consider it job done. Adding a few boring game modes doesn't make things better. There's an F1 league with the guys I race with, but it's not for me. 5 minutes ago, Squirrel said: If my wheel was compatible with my ps4 I would get it for that but as its not I'll get it for the pc instead.

I use to love them in old school days, but as I grew up, the games didn't grow up with me. Will not be getting this title. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10030-f1-2016/#findComment-150081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel 5,180 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 @DavidCore89 That certainly looks interesting although a little vague about what is required. If there is an adaptor than can be bought cheaply then I'm up for that but if it's something that needs making and proganming then I'll probably just stick to the PC version Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10030-f1-2016/#findComment-150112 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree there, looks like they've given it a workover this year where you need to actually take part in practice to get r&d, and all the teams can improve/stagnate in development, i'll be taking the mclaren honda up back to the top when i get it, and i'm pretty sure i'd read good things about the nascar game actually Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10030-f1-2016/#findComment-150129 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel 5,180 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I was part of a racing league back when 2013 was out. Love f1 racing. At least online means you can balance the cars so everyone has the same machinery. NASCAR may be dull and predictable to watch but to actually race is pretty fun. May consider that too. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10030-f1-2016/#findComment-150136 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to use Styxs set ups rather than James', but they aren't always there. I start with theirs and tweek them to the best of my ability. Also I'm doing the tracks on time trial before I do them in career so I have a handle on the track, but the set ups will still need modifying a bit and that will come with more playing time. I think this is a pretty cool F1 game. My last one was F1 2011 I haven't really got into the online side as yet as I want to have the set ups ready for each track before I do that seriously.

Depends how serious you wanna get, there are leagues out there much more serious than that one. That website seems German based so races might be EU friendly. I recognize 1 name in the PS4 F1 sign-up thread, he races in my championship and is pretty quick too. I'd suggest running a season with those guys first, see how active they are, times zones, how full their lobbies are, how clean the racing is and how the league admin control the sessions. From there you can decide if you wanna stay with them, look for additional leagues or take a step up in competition. I've been in leagues that weren't active enough or people raced dirty/poorly, took a while to find the one that I'm in now, but they don't race F1 this year.

Probably the most well known league out there and some of the very best drivers. However, I'm sure they only allow wheel users (same goes for a lot of leagues). I've been tempted to join them a few times, maybe I will in the future.

revbouncer 1,431 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 It's a frustrating game at times. I won't use flashbacks so when shit happens I have to restart. I've tried this race for the last 3 days. Best so far is I got to 3 turns from home fighting for 4th and a lapped Ericson did the same thing to me, you shoulda heard my language at that point lmao Quote Rev's Races Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10030-f1-2016/#findComment-153651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
revbouncer 1,431 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Wow I'm 4 secs off the pace in that TBOR league. I think I'm too old for this lol. It will take me 12 months to find 4 secs!

Big gap, but that's league racing for you - there's always a faster driver around, you'll improve though. 4 seconds is probably no bigger than the gap between P1 and P22 IRL. Sometimes people have great pace over a single lap, but maintaining that over a long race is near impossible, often the tyres won't live very long. Some leagues run a GP2 series, sometimes that's a better place to get started. I'll ask a few friends when I get on the PS4 later, maybe they'll have a few ideas for you. When you found out that you were 4 seconds off the pace of the leader, was that a custom setup? Often a custom setup will suit wheel users and not pad users, or it just won't suit your style of driving and that'll cost some time. To prepare for league races I like to run laps with default setup to learn the track inside and out, then make changes one-by-one so I can feel what's happening and easily see if that change is improving the pace. Some people make a bunch of changes at the same time and then have no idea what is changing on the car. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10030-f1-2016/#findComment-153655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
