[hardy delta]

I wonder, if a team doesn't have a reserve and one dude can't make it, can the team principal jump in the car?

[lone wagon]

If they have the game

[molten blade]

Imagine Helmut Marko jump in RB because they dont want Sainz yet and Gasly too young

[lone wagon]

And that's a big if

Lmao

[molten blade]

i only signed up as TP because im too broke for the game

[lone wagon]

Today i raced with both merc drivers and i can say they are absolute monsters

[hardy delta]

so we are going with realistic grid performance I see

[lone wagon]

Lmao

[south spindle]

[lone wagon]

Seats are filling incredibly fast

We were like 8

4 days ago

[south spindle]

i only found this by scrolling down on the discord

i didnt even know this stuff existed

[bleak flare]

@woeful bough huh?

[woeful bough]

There is another seat at FI

I want you to be my teammate 👀

[bleak flare]

i don't have the game thoooooo ;~;

[lone wagon]

nobody has it yet

[woeful bough]

I can take care of that

[bleak flare]

even if i did all the buttons on my wheel are like fucked up

so i can't use manual gears for example

[lone wagon]

cbuttons

[woeful bough]

Oof

[lone wagon]

sad

[woeful bough]

Big sad

[lone wagon]

race with keyboard

[woeful bough]

I cam get you a controller if you'd lime

L i m e

[lone wagon]

lime

[bleak flare]

i'd prolly race with gamepad if it were

my driving would be 100% rarted

[woeful bough]

Dw

[lone wagon]

we are 60% rarted

[woeful bough]

I'll pretend you are irl Perez

[woeful bough]

That's if you don't mind tho

And you want to do this

[bleak flare]

[woeful bough]

PogChamp

Norteq is team manager btw

[bleak flare]

dope

also i'll be a big boi and go with my real name

[woeful bough]

OwO

[bleak flare]

altho

[lone wagon]

i used half real name and half discord

hax

[bleak flare]

do you know if F1 games have æ, ø and å?

[woeful bough]

You can use Danish keyboard

It should work

[lone wagon]

you have to type with keynoard so

[bleak flare]

👍

[lone wagon]

now theres like only toro rosso free

i think

[bleak flare]

let's go

[woeful bough]

T r <465136552775778334> R ss <465136552775778334>

Fucks sake

[lone wagon]

the guy before

[bleak flare]

wtf

[lone wagon]

did he sign?

bc if he gone force you screwed

[bleak flare]

flibble said he saved a seat

so uhh

idunno

[woeful bough]

I did say I race on that condition

I think

[lone wagon]

well he was undecided so

[bleak flare]

also i might have made a dumdum

i closed the tab right after submitting

bad?

[lone wagon]

wut

[bleak flare]

like

just as i was closing i saw some code thing

no idea if i need that

[lone wagon]

lemme see

well idk

you can do another one if you dont want your seat to be stolen

its @waxen girder that checks applicatons hes not that tard

[bleak flare]

i don't want to offend the swede tho

swedes scare me

inb4 rejected cuz dane

[lone wagon]

ill take the responsability

(no)

[bleak flare]

hoh

[lone wagon]

jk

[hardy delta]

actually I just thought

shouldn't we make a steam group for this?

easier inviting

[bleak flare]

what teams are actually taken as of now?

[lone wagon]

i dont know exactly

but there should be a force seat free

and a toro/willliams one

[bleak flare]

guess i'll put str and williams as 2nd and 3rd pref

[lone wagon]

yeah but i think force is free

[bleak flare]

yes but i feel like i'm cheating if i just put force in all 3 for the second time, lmao

[lone wagon]

i did it for ferrari

[bleak flare]

kek

[lone wagon]

[bleak flare]

oh, there was no code

[lone wagon]

ah lmao

[bleak flare]

welp, happy duplicate application, lmfao

[lone wagon]

inb4 vind makes a team with the twins popfizzelz

[bleak flare]

heh

pop and fizzelz

[hardy delta]

give all the penalty points to one and all the actual points to the other

[lone wagon]

better than mytical lastname brothers

[hardy delta]

I'm actually kind of surprised we don't have any lastnames

[bleak flare]

would be some legend memery

i kinda did that with my fantasy team

F1 Team Name F1 Team

[hardy delta]

we have some pretty good names in our fantasy league

[lone wagon]

am i still top?

im scared to open the game after hockeneim

[bleak flare]

lel

[lone wagon]

seb

[bleak flare]

hockenheim killed mine as well

i was 3rd

now i'm fifth

🙃 🔫

[woeful bough]

@lyric scaffold team is complete

Do with us what you will

[bleak flare]

we are under your mercy

also i'll be racing with a pad so don't expect miracles from me

[woeful bough]

Is ok

Just crash out my contenders

[lone wagon]

uhm

mercy pls

[bleak flare]

hoh

let's see how many penalties i can get over a season

[lone wagon]

c o r n e r c u t t i n g

[bleak flare]

MY GOAL IS TO NOT HAVE A SINGLE CLEAN LAP

[lone wagon]

ferrari will win every race 1-2 ez

me and hobo are unbeatable

[hardy delta]

I want a meme podium like in f1/4

[lone wagon]

(actually no)

zed to win

[woeful bough]

You mean our podium?

[lone wagon]

shame that mr. corner cutting himself isnt partecipating

or "alternative lines" whatever

[woeful bough]

The Tiametmarduk line

[hardy delta]

I don't remember much about jacarepagua apart from flip crashing 15 times, lefteris destroying norteq and finishing in 3rd

[woeful bough]

Oh that

[lone wagon]

ive randomly found a reb's stream of f1/2 on hockeneim

quality content

he crashed lap 2

[hardy delta]

remember getting mad that I was one of like two people driving with no assists

[woeful bough]

Wait untik later

[hardy delta]

but those were hard cars to drive, this will be alot more accessible

[woeful bough]

Holy fuck Ameros

Will this be equal cars btw?

[hardy delta]

yes

[lone wagon]

ye

[woeful bough]

Are physics the same?

[hardy delta]

with the modern points system I think the midfield will have a better time too

[bleak flare]

oh shit cool

[lone wagon]

physics is influenced af by setups

[bleak flare]

oh fuck

i'm absolutely shite at setups

especially in F1 games

[woeful bough]

People will make public setups in no time

[lone wagon]

but ofc i dont have a clue of how to do setups

i just copy the good ppl ones

[bleak flare]

^^^^^^^^^^

[hardy delta]

f1 2017s setups weren't as memeworthy as the previous games atleast

no 1-1 wings here

[woeful bough]

Sad

[lone wagon]

there was 1-1

i use it on monza

car's a beast

[bleak flare]

yo flibble as teammates we should plagiarize each others setups

pleas

[hardy delta]

inb4 you both send each other a dud setup

[lone wagon]

lel

use tiametmarduk setups

[bleak flare]

that would not surprise me at all

[lone wagon]

btw time to see my SKILLZ on f1 2017 monaco

[hardy delta]

oh yeah hope all the pad users can even make it around monaco

[bleak flare]

feelings of suicide

my half functioning wheel is just gonna sit there in front of me

taunting me

[hardy delta]

what is it that doesn't work?

[bleak flare]

all of the buttons have loose connections

including the paddles

[woeful bough]

Spicy

How did that even happen

[lone wagon]

league race on monaco will be battle royale

the last standing wins

[woeful bough]

I will win Monaco

[lone wagon]

are you gud there

[woeful bough]

Ye

At least in F1 games

[bleak flare]

it started slowly at first, but i think the killing blow was me accidentally tightening it so much that the clamp handle broke

so it's literally stuck to my desk

[lone wagon]

tf

[woeful bough]

LOL

[hardy delta]

wheels can be really finicky at times, the catch on the cable that connects my pedals to my wheel came off because I took it off and on so much

so basically ffb could send the cable flying out and there would be nothing connecting the pedals

[bleak flare]

hoh

[hardy delta]

I got another set, now I just take the wheel off with the pedals still plugged in

[lone wagon]

one time i lost the feedback while league racing in the champ/deciding finale

[bleak flare]

oof

[lone wagon]

i had to retire and lost

[woeful bough]

Big oof

Hey at least you didn't take out your teammate

Amirite Tifosi

[lone wagon]

[lyric scaffold]

Hello what's this?

[orchid ibex]

This is an F1 League for f12018

If you're interested in joining check the first pin to enter the league

[bleak flare]

so uhh

regarding driving with a pad

how the fuck do people do this?

what is even a racing line anymore

if i could use motion controls, then everything would be fine

[hardy delta]

I used to drive with a pad, it's difficult because you have to do what wheel users do with less feedback

[bleak flare]

but this joystick driving is just masochistic

[hardy delta]

and on some of the codemasters games there was input delay for pad users

[bleak flare]

the thing is

[hardy delta]

to be honest I would mess with traction or abs

the league allows it

[bleak flare]

i use pad on gt sport

but on there you can turn with the gyro controls

[hardy delta]

I think that was designed with the pad more as a focus

[bleak flare]

prolly

still, my only issue is with the stupid joystick

[hardy delta]

but you pretty much only have one advantage with a controller over wheel users

and that's fast lock to lock capability

[bleak flare]

except F1 is rarely lock to lock lmao

[hardy delta]

exactly

not an ideal advantage

I've heard people say that the games have built in assists for controllers

[bleak flare]

i'm gonna try something

[hardy delta]

I know if you played f1 2014 with a wheel but using the in game control scheme under "controller" you actually got more grip

but I don't think the newer ones are like that

[woeful bough]

Might be worth noting physics are getting an overhaul as well

It sounds to me like they are making it more simmy

I.E fixing the mediocre suspension physics

[hardy delta]

the gameplay does look sexy but I'm dying to actually try it

everyone I've seen try it has had good opinions

[woeful bough]

People also had good opinions on 2016

But that was mediocre

Tbf it was because 2015 was a complete shitheap

[hardy delta]

last year is always the benchmark

[oak ferry]

@hardy delta apparently delay is gone on 2018

I remember in some cases it would feel like driving a boat but it's gone now

[hardy delta]

yes, I saw about that

I never noticed it too much with a wheel but I heard a few controller users complain about it

I think 2016 was especially bad for it

[oak ferry]

2017 I think was worse

because the cars are faster you notice it more

[hardy delta]

I think I would notice it if I had a fully upgraded car

less turn in time

[bleak flare]

ok so

i sorta got motion controls to work

but it's waaaaay more sensitive when turning left, than it is when turning right

[oak ferry]

yeah motion on Sport is yuge

[bleak flare]

??????????

[oak ferry]

is there motion steering on F1?

[bleak flare]

not in game, no

i'm using a PS4 controller and steams controller config

[oak ferry]

ah

I see

on GT it is really good

[bleak flare]

the motion is essentially emulating the stick

it really is

[hardy delta]

if that works it sounds awesome

[bleak flare]

and i got it to a really nice place as well, if it wasn't for the weird asymmetry

if only i can fix the asymmetry, the it should work wonderfully

[oak ferry]

the only problem is that it hurts after a while

an hour is the most I can do

[hardy delta]

is it any worse than using a wheel?

[oak ferry]

yes

[bleak flare]

not by much

[oak ferry]

because you have nothing to support your arms

[bleak flare]

gt sport has gotten me used to the reduced feedback

[oak ferry]

it isn't awful but it isn't great

[bleak flare]

yea that's a downside

[oak ferry]

I notice with the motion it's so easy to control a slide

[bleak flare]

but in terms of pure steering, it's pretty good

[hardy delta]

if you can get the reactions for it it would be almost natural

[bleak flare]

i feel like i'm near that level in gt sport

[oak ferry]

yeah

I find driving the more insane cars lets you learn fast

[bleak flare]

true

[hardy delta]

adapt or crash

[oak ferry]

yes

[bleak flare]

it forces scares you into driving better

[oak ferry]

adapt, improvise, overcome

ok this is going off topic but the 787B in Sport is so hot

[bleak flare]

the tomahawk is fucking terrifying to drive

[oak ferry]

the sound is nailed

[bleak flare]

aaaa i still need to get it

[oak ferry]

yeah I love the Tomahawk

when you hook it up

oh lord

[hardy delta]

yeah just don't do what I did when I was learning VR w/ dirt rally, I went from the slowest and easiest car to one of the hardest

[oak ferry]

I do like 40 second laps around Dragon Trail

[hardy delta]

probably would have been better just starting at the deep end

[bleak flare]

hoh

[hardy delta]

we should probably move to #racing-games?

[woeful bough]

Was just about to say

lel

[bleak flare]

prolly yea

[oak ferry]

yeah

[rough grail]

Hey guys, I'm interested in joining.. is there a certain place i signup?

I filled in a google forms, is there anything else I should do?

[neat bronze]

Nothing else

Wait to check which team you got accepted into

[rough grail]

oh okay thanks

[waxen girder]

I'm currently on holidays so please bare with me for a few days as i might be slow to update

O shiit 7 new applications since last update

[rough grail]

just letting any of the mods know, my pc broke and im in the process of getting a new one, i may or may not have it by the release of f1 2018, so if i have to miss a race ill let you know

[waxen girder]

@rough grail hey so all your 1-3 picks were taken, i put you in the first pick reserve

Toro rosso is still available

[rough grail]

might as well take toro rosso then @waxen girder

[neat bronze]

Blibble is driving for Williams?????

OH YEAA

[waxen girder]

@neat bronze yep you finally have a full team 😅

[neat bronze]

[grave crescent]

So who is my Partner at Force India (on discord)

[neat bronze]

FI hasn't got a principal yet

[lone wagon]

I think @bleak flare is your teammate @grave crescent

But

He was supposed to be flibble's teammate

[grave crescent]

does this mean flibble takes my place at FI or that my Teammate will switch teams?

[bleak flare]

I'm confused

[lone wagon]

i Don't know yet @grave crescent

[grave crescent]

easiest solution might be that i may switch to Toro Rosso then those two can be teammates

[bleak flare]

Wait

I thought @lyric scaffold was principal of FI

This is turning into actual Force India smh my head

[waxen girder]

I dunno I haven't been told about @lyric scaffold

[neat bronze]

Norteq has always been merc

[bleak flare]

Huh

And now i see Flibble down at Williams

This is getting more confusing by the second

[waxen girder]

There was no space at Force India as you entered before him

And someone else joined before as well

I'm sure it's possible to switch around

[bleak flare]

Ok this is all starting to make a bit more sense

[waxen girder]

I'm just going after the first application to the highest preference

[neat bronze]

Dump Norteq he sucks

[bleak flare]

Hoh

[neat bronze]

Williams >>>>>> Mercedes

[woeful bough]

TP?

o Team Principle

Norteq does suck but that's a good reason not to dump him

;)))

[neat bronze]

[bleak flare]

I made a deal with @grave crescent so Flibble should be able move up to FI now

[woeful bough]

Thanks

I verbally agreed with Brigatony that I would go to FI before anyway oof

That's why you're my team mate

[bleak flare]

Ye but you weren't fast enough with the submission

[woeful bough]

let's hope that's not a sign of things to come

[bleak flare]

Lmao

[neat bronze]

[woeful bough]

[bleak flare]

A pad driver and a slowpoke

Force Dysfunctional

[woeful bough]

Just like real life

[neat bronze]

Flibble is the fastest so....

[woeful bough]

[bleak flare]

if only my wheel wasn't fucked

[woeful bough]

oof

Channel the inner Magnussen

[neat bronze]

Channel the inner verstappen

[bleak flare]

Funny you should say that, I'm on my way to see his old car

Well, among others

[neat bronze]

[woeful bough]

Jack Jones?

[bleak flare]

Nah bruh

CHGP

[woeful bough]

[bleak flare]

Almost there in fact

[woeful bough]

Large

[cinder musk]

I signed up for this, but I not on the table of teams and drivers?

[bleak flare]

You are

[cinder musk]

Oh yeh

nvm

[woeful bough]

Oof

[cinder musk]

Wasn't expecting Haas, that's why I didn't see my name xd. Cos I put down red bull when it was empty. Unless I was looking at the wrong part of the table again

But this will be fun anywhere I drive

[woeful bough]

Yeah I've never taken part in a Wreckfest League before it will be fun :^))

[lone wagon]

So whomst'd driving for force

[woeful bough]

Me and Pop

[lone wagon]

cool and good

[woeful bough]

Pop had to make a deal because I fucked up

[lone wagon]

Lel

Is the line-up updated yet

[neat bronze]

Not yet

Vind is busy

[cinder musk]

I need to find out where I can get it cheaply soon. Doubt I can get it from steam for full price xd

[lone wagon]

So where does Fiftylaren race?

[woeful bough]

Williams

[lone wagon]

Ah alright

So you just swapped

[woeful bough]

Yote

[lone wagon]

We're 19 rite

[woeful bough]

🤷

[lone wagon]

Yeh 19

oof

turn 1 gonna be carbon fiberfest

[woeful bough]

Monaco will be lit

[neat bronze]

I don't think Monaco will be a full grid

[waxen girder]

Can someone just do a quick recap of who goes where?

[woeful bough]

Pop made a deal so I can go to FI and Fiftylaren goes to Williams

[waxen girder]

Is this correct?

[woeful bough]

I believe Norteq is now TP of Force India

Ask him about it tho

Because that'd probably mean moving Amerifat as well

[neat bronze]

@wheat basalt @grave crescent you both are teammates

[grave crescent]

thanks

[fossil estuary]

Tom yum is good food but very spicy

[orchid ibex]

wowow

@orchid ibex

[orchid ibex]

Oh cool

We have a full team now

[waxen girder]

Let me know if I've made any mistakes

[molten blade]

yeah im Haas TP

maybr we should make a list with discord names so people know whos who

or just make Team Chats seperately i guess

[lone wagon]

We have like a group chat

[neat bronze]

O

[neat bronze]

[south spindle]

@waxen girder obviously depending on the day that it is raced I dont mind racing for torro rosso to fill that seas

[crimson tangle]

Toro Rosso

[waxen girder]

Perfect i can add you to it @south spindle

[south spindle]

OK

[hardy delta]

group chats can only have 10 people though

[neat bronze]

Teams can have only 5 people tho

[hardy delta]

oh we're doing it per team? ok

[lone wagon]

Drivers line-up full

Woah

[hardy delta]

10 works nicely for all tp if you want to use that for penalty discussions and such

[waxen girder]

We need 11

Or wait

No

9 maybe

[wheat basalt]

wait this might seem proper silly but this is for pc right?

[woeful bough]

yeet

[wheat basalt]

than f*ck

thank

im watching my team mates vids and hes go playstation buttons XD

i was like oh crap

[broken nest]

@lone wagon what is that F1 server at the top

and holy shit almost all seats filled except for the 2nd seat at TR

big nice

[neat bronze]

Back up emojis?

[neat bronze]

O

[woeful bough]

[neat bronze]

That emoji🤢

[woeful bough]

Better than ur face

[neat bronze]

O

[half ocean]

wait

amer is admin

mod

sorry

big boy amer

[woeful bough]

It's a scary world we live in

[half ocean]

it really do be like dat sometimes

[lone wagon]

@broken nest its supposed to be a f1 fans server but it's empty lmao

[broken nest]

ok can I populate it

[half ocean]

f1 fanbase decline 😔

[lone wagon]

Nope @broken nest

[broken nest]

😦

[woeful bough]

ded sport

[broken nest]

does it have emotes though

[lone wagon]

When i say empty i mean that

It doesn't have channels

[broken nest]

welp

[lone wagon]

[half ocean]

Bring Back Senna Days To Bring Back Fan

[broken nest]

ouch

[lone wagon]

It's ded

[woeful bough]

BriNG bACk The OlDEn DayS

[half ocean]

Everything was perfect about f1 in the 1970s .

[woeful bough]

Teams weren't as dominant as they are now back in the 1980s .

[half ocean]

Cars could race in the 90s .

My proof? This one overtake that happened once

[woeful bough]

You could always overtake before Aero was dominant .

Monaco had much more overtaking .

[half ocean]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[woeful bough]

Senna did that one lap so F1 was exciting .

[lone wagon]

We should do a f1 1976 league

[woeful bough]

no

Really is a bad ideea

People can barely do a 91 League, 76 would be a disaster

[lone wagon]

on f1 2017 there are 2 1976 cars

*2018

[woeful bough]

[waxen girder]

@broken nest Mr Liam Rance will race for Toro Rosso until we need a reserve for Sauber 😅

[storm dirge]

seems fair

[orchid ibex]

understandable

[broken nest]

oke

[waxen girder]

Yeah should be same for Tom Yum as well, he'll race for Toro Rosso until reserve ar Ferrari is needd

So toro rosso is like the reserve seat team

[lone wagon]

So

Is pre-season tesing supposed to be from 9 to 12?

Because if so I'm fuked

[bleak flare]

what days do we even drive?

[fossil estuary]

nooo

[woeful bough]

I'm away for one weekend as well

[lone wagon]

Can we like anticipate it?

Or maybe do another one idk

@waxen girder

[woeful bough]

It's the CS:GO Major

[wheat basalt]

ive got an air show to go to on like the 10th but its not an all day thing

[cinder musk]

is pre season on F1 2017 then?

[lone wagon]

Yes

[cinder musk]

Dates?

[unborn blaze]

Can we develop cars through the season

[woeful bough]

no

At least I hope not

That would be a horrendous idea and actually really hard to do with Codies games

[unborn blaze]

If it worked, why would it be a horrendous idea

[woeful bough]

If a car is just better than another in terms of raw stats, it makes for bad League racing online

Plus the balancing of it would be hard

There's a reason Codies took a long time to get it right

[lone wagon]

Concept of league racing is to have all equal cars

[unborn blaze]

@woeful bough I meant that all cars start as equal, but can develop freely through the season...

[woeful bough]

That's even worse

And my points still stand

[hardy delta]

using 2017 as an example, if we did that with 2017s development it would be terrible as some upgrade paths were far more beneficial than others

so you would either have everyone picking these best upgrade paths or falling behind

in 2018 the cars all have different development trees so balance is also impossible

[unborn blaze]

Ah. Didn't know there were different development trees 🤔 thx

[hardy delta]

yeah this year they want the cars development to reflect what the car needs irl

so red bull have alot of engine development

[broken nest]

Williams would have a lot of development on everything

[hardy delta]

^

[broken nest]

Toro Rosso would probably have engine reliability development, judging by the amount of components they have used in real life

[hardy delta]

the only thing which is the same is engine reliability

[broken nest]

No idea about the other teams though

[lone wagon]

Ferrari doesn't need anything

[neat bronze]

You just need good strategists

[unborn blaze]

🙋

[lone wagon]

Anyone up for a session tonight?

[fossil estuary]

Sorry cant

[lone wagon]

Oki

[cinder musk]

Would, but currently in France...

[wheat basalt]

im guessing im too late for the sesssion XD

just got back from building new desk

[upbeat mirage]

I desperately hope live league racing doesn't start until September ;s I'm busy af until the end of August

Game's released when? 26th, right?

[broken nest]

@upbeat mirage 24th

[upbeat mirage]

Ah, but still pretty close to the end of the month

Wasn't 2017 released early August?

Oh, no, 25th

Huh...idk why, but 2018 feels like it's late/slow to develop

Maybe because comparatively little in-game footage/teasers

[broken nest]

yeah

I might have to get the game full-price instead of waiting for a sale

I don't trust those sites where you get the game for cheaper at all

[wheat basalt]

cdkeys.com

is 100 legit

im waiting for my preorder code

if you want when i comes ill tell you

like ive bought so many games from there that i can say its decent

g2a isnt trust worthy

[storm dirge]

Agree

I bought f1 2016 on g2a some time ago

They took my money but later said that my credit card info is untrustworthy or smh and did not give me a cd key

[wheat basalt]

tbf i got f1 2017 on g2a for 10£ it was decent but i bought the g2a shield

[ivory frigate]

never had problems with g2a

[storm dirge]

After a month i got my money back

[wheat basalt]

i think like cdkeys is like 1 company that gets keys and sells them and g2a is like the ebay for keys so anyone can claim to have a key

but they are getting better i know a few mates a while back that got done voer

[ivory frigate]

i pre ordered f1 2018 btw

waiting time begins

[storm dirge]

Nice

[broken nest]

@wheat basalt "if you want when i comes ill tell you" sure

[ivory frigate]

i respect codemasters bought it on steam

[wheat basalt]

yeah @broken nest ill let you know if cdkeys comes through

[broken nest]

oke

I would get F1 2018 full-price if I wasn't ded broke 😩 as I have said before

[wheat basalt]

yeah

[broken nest]

real talk: I got F1 2017 on summer sale and I haven't regretted it since, it's an awesome game

[wheat basalt]

i dont think anything will go wrong and i know cd keys will give me a refund

[ivory frigate]

i earned 150 this weekend

[broken nest]

big nice

[ivory frigate]

working is everything just saying

[wheat basalt]

im at uni so uni loans FTW XD

[broken nest]

I would rather not be in debt

[wheat basalt]

i mean if i early 30k a year i have to pay back 1k a year

so its really not much

tax is more

like per month they want such a small amount (in England)

and because when i finish my 5 years ill be HOPEFULLY going to work for google (got a family friend who works there) ill be earning mad stacks

[ivory frigate]

yes

[wheat basalt]

if that falls through im doing cyber security so there is always work in that field

im dead hyped for this season just bought a new desk ready for it i cant wait hahaha

[ivory frigate]

gl

im really not an office guy

i work with metal

welding etc etc

[wheat basalt]

ahh nice

ive done a bit of that stuff i worked with roofing not reallllllly metals but still manual graft

[ivory frigate]

nice

[wheat basalt]

what team you racing for?

@ivory frigate

[ivory frigate]

red bull

[wheat basalt]

nice nice

im williams and im crap

XD

[broken nest]

[ivory frigate]

np i learned this games in one year

well 2016 was my first

[wheat basalt]

i can drive but my race pace definatly beats my qualifying pace

[broken nest]

My first was F1 2013 back in late 2014

[ivory frigate]

same

[broken nest]

then I got F1 2014, then F1 2015, F1 2012...

[wheat basalt]

i played 2013 and 2016 but not like a lot i got about 100 hours between them

[broken nest]

and now F1 2016 and F1 2017 during the Summer Sale

[ivory frigate]

i got 2010 2012 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018

[broken nest]

I have got 25 hours on F1 2013, it's also my most-played one

I don't have F1 2011 (not that I really care), and I won't be able to have F1 2010 legally even if I wanted to, since it is not available on Steam in my country for some reason

[hardy delta]

it's off completely

compatibility and gfwl complaints

[broken nest]

it is?

fuck

[hardy delta]

yes

[broken nest]

rip

[hardy delta]

2011 also has gfwl but it's easier to run

[broken nest]

ah, I see

[wheat basalt]

the gfwl fucked soooooo many games

dirt 3 for one :/ although code masters fixed that

[hardy delta]

since gfwl doesn't work with win 10 (funny that) I have to use a plugin to give me external popups for everything gfwl

so when it asks you for your name, etc

[wheat basalt]

damn okay

i do some cross platform stuff with the gf so im guessing that stuff has replaced the gfwl

[ivory frigate]

im still not sure if im gonna do a 100% career mode

[wheat basalt]

i use career to practise but like i say this is my first online season so i dont know if that is any good

[ivory frigate]

it is prac prac prac

you get gut very fast

[wheat basalt]

yeah i want 2018 to come out cause i feel like the drive will be so different because of the 2017- 2018 changes

[ivory frigate]

suspension is different

[wheat basalt]

yeah okay

i mean that is actually quite a big change

odly the biggest thing i cant wait for is the car sounds

it appears they have actually nailed it

[ivory frigate]

not really but we will see

[hardy delta]

I don't think 2018 will be a huge jump like 2017 was to 2016

[ivory frigate]

same

[wheat basalt]

yeah

[hardy delta]

still downforce heavy cars still dirty air, just think the kerbs being more lively and ers management will be the biggest changes

[wheat basalt]

true

[ivory frigate]

yes

[wheat basalt]

ers will be so good

im not sure im a fan of the way they have gone about it

like the same way you have to switch rich mix

[ivory frigate]

it is a feauture i wanted for so long

[oak ferry]

how else would you switch

[hardy delta]

in 2017 you could map buttons to things on the mfd @oak ferry

like, a button for brake bias +

[oak ferry]

I see

[wheat basalt]

oh sh*t you could

[hardy delta]

so pushing it would automatically put it up

[wheat basalt]

damn

[hardy delta]

I think it will be the same for ers

[wheat basalt]

well that changes the game

XD

[hardy delta]

so mfd if you want

or quick button if you want

[wheat basalt]

ive got 4 buttons on my wheel that do nothing

[oak ferry]

I wish MFD was ported to the cockpit

for first person view

[hardy delta]

I've got a few that could be used

it would make sense for pro career or hudless drivers

[oak ferry]

for example if you increase ERS then it flashes on the screen like irl

[hardy delta]

yeah like changing the screen completely for a few secs?

[oak ferry]

or brake bias, fuel mix

yeah

like you see on the F1 qualifying videos

[wheat basalt]

like the MFD does actually ruin my immersion i know its a meme but it does

i hate it sat there

[oak ferry]

they should have an esports version and a realistic verson

on the wheel

the wheel display

[wheat basalt]

yeah

[oak ferry]

it's the same for every car I guess to keep it fair

idk

[hardy delta]

they've added some other stuff I don't think many people use for realism also

[oak ferry]

also back in the day it was very arcadey so they made it easy for tards to see

[hardy delta]

does anyone use the upshift beep

[ivory frigate]

they dont want you to see the changes on the wheel

[wheat basalt]

just something that shows what mix you are and stuff like that just on the wheel or the engineer tells you

[ivory frigate]

there you have thwt screen for

mfd

[hardy delta]

even still it's still simplified, there are more than 5 deploy modes

though I would like a dynamic wheel

iracing has it and it's pretty neat

[wheat basalt]

cause when they do in IRL it like changes the screen on the wheel right?

[hardy delta]

for a few seconds

[ivory frigate]

for every chance

bb torque

[oak ferry]

I

think there is 8 irl

[hardy delta]

what if the engine did an anti stall whenever you span?

[oak ferry]

8 deployment modes

[hardy delta]

would be a bitch to code

but when the engine goes in neutral and the dash starts flashing

there are 8 in iracing, that's all I know

[ivory frigate]

light normal high overtake hotlap what else

[hardy delta]

so probably 8 irl

just 8 different levels

[cinder musk]

can i get the F12018 tag plez

[neat bronze]

#266169542189907969

[lone wagon]

Well

I can't definetly do testing as I will be out for a week

But can someone gently post all the times after the sessions? It would be nice

[ebon linden]

It's testing this weekend?

[neat bronze]

Yea

[bleak flare]

oh shit

yea i won't have my wheel ready for that

guess i'll try and make my controller work properly then

otherwise i'll have to sit out

[neat bronze]

Join once to check your connection

[bleak flare]

actually yea i'll do that

but i can't promise any running

[woeful bough]

Big sad

[bleak flare]

i'm sorry fam ;~;

[woeful bough]

Np np

When I say big sad it's more just unfortunate about the wheel

[bleak flare]

yea

altho i have a teeny tiny bit of hope

a classmate told me today that he'd be willing to give me his old G27

he remembered there was something wrong with it but could tell me what

so 🤞

[woeful bough]

What happened to the warranty shizzle?

[bleak flare]

still haven't received the shipping blanket

so the wheel is still at my place

[woeful bough]

Oof

[bleak flare]

i think i have a box that fits, with protection

so that should be sorted

[woeful bough]

Big nice

Just make sure it's steady and no room to move

[bleak flare]

well my main concern is axis and button functionality

[bleak flare]

so i managed to bang in an actual lap time on pad

2.2 seconds behind PB on wheel

[wheat basalt]

what track?

[bleak flare]

spain

[wheat basalt]

noice

[bleak flare]

it's really not

i mean

i can drive

but more than 2 seconds down

that's pretty shite

[wheat basalt]

im fairly certain youll beat me using a wii controller haha

you stuck with gamepad now?

[bleak flare]

for now yes

[wheat basalt]

apparently the tighter tracks are easier on gamepad

[bleak flare]

tbh i think every corner is hard on pad

[wheat basalt]

fair enough

[bleak flare]

i'm far too used to driving with a wheel

[wheat basalt]

i started out on pad and ive not used one for ages so id probably be dog

i mean if your stuck with it until for a bit at least you have a while to practise

[bleak flare]

yea but preseason test is this weekend

i wanna atleast get some track time in if i can

[wheat basalt]

yeah

when you getting the wheel sorted

?

[bleak flare]

hopefully in the not too distant future

which means

i have no idea

[wheat basalt]

XD

you broke the wheel?

[bleak flare]

right now i'm waiting for a shipping blanket so i can send it back to the reseller

[lone wagon]

Are you in time trial?

[bleak flare]

ye

with a setup mind you

[lone wagon]

1:24 is quite good tho

[bleak flare]

yea but that's my PB

you need to look at the top time

[lone wagon]

I don't remember my time but it was 1:22 or 1:23

Yeah

Lemme check

[bleak flare]

pad time was 1:26

[wheat basalt]

i cant even remember mine

going on now having a look

[lone wagon]
