I wish ngl to have a good Pacific Rift based game with some features from other MotorStorms

fervent shoal
#

And these days, studios often do remasters to give art direction and development practice time to a team that maybe hasn't done a whole game before. If Sony wanted to try and do a new arcade racer of some kind with one of their teams, getting the to remaster the rough edges of Arctic Edge would be a low stakes way for them to learn.

#

Car sounds in Pacific Rift and Apocalypse are literally night and day.

the ones in Apocalypse sound so much stronger and just rougher and badass.

#

tho the MS:PR and even MV car sounds have a certain charm to them.

the Racing Truck sound and Buggy sound from MS:MV live rent free in my head.

#

Yeah those PR rally cars were my favourite. I was always online in that fake Escudo, causing chaos and murdering bikers. Good times

Well @next crane its now fully playable

unless they simplified it for MSMV specifically

#

hey if MSMV can run "natively" with no big setup wizardry

i'll happily try it

#

anything to blasting down The Grizzly in a Buggy listening to Before I Forget by Slipknot

#

same for MS:PR and blasting down Caldera Ridge in a Rally Car listening to Stompbox by The Qemists

#

or MS:AE (which i can play easily) and blasting down Anguta Glacier in a Snow Machine listening to Propane Nightmares (Celldweller remix) by Pendulum

You can run these games like that too if i'm correct (maybe its better to ask at their disc)

The track has since been abandoned in disrepair

2020 was mostly Europe and only left Europe for Bahrain

somber elbow
#

Ahhh

Damn man

#

That is a shame

#

It's a neat track, I like it

#

It's like a high speed Monaco

#

But it's definitely more fun to do qualifying on than racing

somber elbow
#

Pffft, being paired with Kevin would be quite the challenge

#

Must say, F1 2020 mods are quite good, but I am curious about certain things

#

And whether if I will be able to change them in time for when the 2021 season starts

#

I only really got the chance to do that one race

Apparently the game got removed from the PS Store

day 2 of playing F1 without ABS

#

i think im starting to figure this shit out

#

dare i say im actually quicker to stop in some braking zones than with it

#

others its a complete disaster but we dont talk about it

#

also making dives on the inside is harder than me when i see dua lipa

#

i keep locking up

somber elbow
#

Man you're really brave to try this

jaunty crater
#

I was going 180 controlled spins in the vegas runoff in the rain yesterday

somber elbow
#

Wow, thats honestly impressive to be able to control your car when you go off

fervent shoal
#

Oh it's so important in any racing game to learn to crash well

#

You see the F1 drivers at baku and Vegas learning how to give up on a corner before you've hit a wall

#

Exactly what Piastri forgot at Baku this season because he was flustered by the bad start

jaunty crater
#

yeah ive started thinking about doing that on instinct when i lock up

#

the lap is lost anyway, why try to salvage it and break the car

It's impressive that you're learning this much about proper racing technique

By the way mario

#

I tried to play F1 2020 without TCS or ABS

#

And I couldn't even make it past any turn without spinning out

#

I genuinely have no idea how anyone can play withoyt them

somber elbow
#

Gotta say, I'm losing the plot with F1 game

#

I don't see the point of playing it if I am not losing and that I can't even drive without nearly all assists

#

@pastel ocean @jaunty crater I have begun a new career. I began with turning off ABS, TCS, start assists, DRS, ERS and Fuel assists. Then I chose Sauber Cherouz for the 6 race F2 career, and I set the difficulty to 60 to get where I am. Ironically the F2 cars are harder to drive than the F1 cars. I thought 60 would be enough for a test, but I utterly dominated F2 and won both WDC and WCC.
After finishing F2, I chose Haas for my team and now, we're doing it properly like Mario suggested. And Honestly, I did get used to it after a bit of testing. ABS makes turning brakes difficult and TCS makes it hard to gas out of corners where I come out in 2nd gear. But I have been able to somewhat master it, and i still have rewind on just as an assistent

#

In terms of cars, the Haas already feels much better to drive

jaunty crater
#

great news that youre getting used to it

somber elbow

#

@somber elbow I found a video of max driving Monaco in F1 2020 in my feed

somber elbow
#

Holy shit man

#

So that's how you do it

#

Can't believe we were playing the same game

jaunty crater
#

he made it look easy

#

but i know for a fact i cannot even on the game get that close to the walls

#

and he does it in real life too

#

😭

somber elbow
#

Yeah I never could either

#

He was going balls to the walls

#

Nailed every turn

#

Made it so close to the wall

#

I know he was doing qualifying pace so that's not actually how he's drive Monaco normally

#

But the fact rhag he can do it both in game and in real life

#

Unreal

jaunty crater
#

i mean of course but you can only see how a driver drives monaco when hes qualifying or in the lead no?

#

otherwise with these cars youre just driving what the guy in front of you is doing

somber elbow
#

That's true, that's very true
You can only drive like this only under special conditions

#

This not being one of them

#

I was spending so much time behind Sainz

jaunty crater
#

f1 has made me realize that dogfighting with other cars and going side by side is fun but chasing the perfect lap when youre in clear air is the most fun of all

somber elbow
#

That's quite true

#

Honestly

#

This game has made me realize just how fun racing can be

#

You'd never think driving around circles would be this engaging until you've achieved true zen

#

Like Mansell said once

#

"I was driving and then it was like suddenly something bashed my head in and time crawled to a halt"

#

"I had plenty of time to change gear, plenty of time to find the perfect line. And then my engineer said that I was a second a lap faster suddenly"

#

That's what driving the F1 games feel like

#

That's what I'm feeling like when I drive without the assists

#

It's so risky, yet.. so weirdly fun

#

I do wonder still how realistic if at all it is for a back marker team to score points

#

I mean how often does Haas score points

#

They've not done badly for 2025

#

So realistically with an aggressive enough driver it's possible?

#

How often do you finish in points?

jaunty crater
#

i havent gotten around to playing the career mode in F1 25

#

and well in F1 2020 last i played i did a full F2 season with PREMA alongside Mick Schumacher, won the championship so Redbull recruited me straight to the main team

#

in F1 2025 i decided to play it a bit more properly so im in an Alpine, but i gotta play through the career to tell you

somber elbow
#

I only did the 6 race career wirh F2

#

So I got to choose what team I wanted

jaunty crater
#

i did 6 race one in 25 too

somber elbow
#

I was Ferrari academy anyway

#

So I chose Haas

jaunty crater
#

i think i chose ART for my team

#

and Ferrari Academy

somber elbow
jaunty crater
#

but i went into alpine cause i wanted to replace doohan

somber elbow
jaunty crater
#

who isnt driving anymore

jaunty crater
#

colapinto hadnt been added to the game yet back then

somber elbow
#

Feels like you should have chosen Alpine academy

jaunty crater
#

so i "fixed" the grid including myself in a way

somber elbow
#

That's fair enough

#

Reason I chose Haas was something similar

#

Kevin is on and off wirh Haas

jaunty crater
#

i wanted haas but replacing esteban or bearman didnt stick right with me

somber elbow
#

So Grosjean stays for last season before 2022

jaunty crater
#

and then i thought aston

somber elbow
#

And I'm their new rookie

jaunty crater
#

but what is F1 without stroll

#

i need the memes

somber elbow
#

Yeah I had a similar thought process

#

I wondered and weighed my options

#

Mercedes: No
Ferrari: With my F2 performance I'd easily replace Vettel but that'd be too good to start at
Red Bull: Not likely
Mclaren: No
Alphatauri: I'd go with rhem if I had chosen Red Bull academy
Alfa Romeo: Already did it
Williams: Too slow and not realistic

#

I wanted to go for Renault too but I don't know, Yellow Renault isn't as cool as Blue Alpine

#

Not to mention, Ocon was new for 2020 I think

#

So it'd be disrespectful to replace ricciardo or him

#

So made sense to head for Haas

#

I like Haas so I gave them an attempt

#

I'd likely move to Renault for 2021 season to replace Alonso

#

Alonso could go to Aston early instead

#

But we'll see what rhe driver moves will be

jaunty crater
#

screenshot from a bit earlier

#

i somehow undercut hamilton and got to 8th, but as soon as my softs started degrading he got past me really quickly and climbed all the way to 7th so im still 9th

#

i pitted lap 38 for hards

#

the alpine might be so slow that its easy to drive without ABS around melbourne

#

welp tsunoda decided to crash into me, put me into the wall and broke my front wing

#

there goes that race

somber elbow
#

I am sorry to hear that

#

I must say I appluad you for tryingt or ace from cockpit cam

#

I might be able to as well if I can increase the camera's height a bit

#

Right now it is barely enabling me to see over the steering wheel

#

Still though, good job with the Alpine, being able to undercut. I am wondering about strategies myself

somber elbow
#

The qualifying went decently...

#

But then the race itself went as wrong as it possibly could... it rained.. and I had no traction control.. nor any traction in the rain...

#

I genuinely think I'm gonna off myself for this. I was spinning out in every corner and were it not for Flashback, I would have DNF'ed like 50 times during this race. No fucking traction at all

#

Losing to Grosjean is embarrassing enough, but then I had to make it worse by running out of fuel on the final straight and Sainz, Antonio and Russel passed me too...

#

Why the fuck did I have no traction at all..

#

My fingers hurt from all the adjusting I did...

#

You either have traction or you don't..

#

I can't drive like this

#

Guess it's a realisic result if nothing else

fervent shoal
#

Are you practicing on the Simulator before you arrive at a race weekend?

somber elbow
#

I did all the free practice sessions

#

I never used the simulation option
I don't know what it is

#

Quick race mode

somber elbow
#

Man...

fervent shoal
#

F1 game is really aimed at people who pour a LOT of time into it. Or you will be leaning on the rewind

somber elbow
#

I really don't want to

#

But I just don't understand how I sometimes lose traction so suddenly..

#

I have no hope

#

I'm willing to put in the time
But I just don't understand how I lose traction so easily and understeer every time..

#

It's not fair..

fervent shoal
#

Practice is the only way to learn racing games

somber elbow
#

I try my best and I still fuck up

#

Just when I thought I had a decent handle on it

#

2nd gear spin fucks me up

fervent shoal
#

Yeah the games are like that

#

Trust me, practice will help you shape your throttle inputs to keep that under control.
Without being in the cars, it becomes trial and error

somber elbow
#

I practiced alot in bahrain

#

I practiced alot in Australia as well

#

Hell, the F2 cars are harder to handle through corners

#

And I managed that relatively fine

#

But this rain just royally screwed me over

fervent shoal
#

Rain is like that. My advice, don't get too bummed out by a failure, your're a Haas F1 rookie, it is rare to smash it in the first season

somber elbow
#

Hehe, yeah I never came to haas expecting immediate results

#

But the qualifying P8 did bring up my hopes

#

Rain is just so much more brutal than I thought

#

And this was Australia. A relatively easy track

#

God have mercy on my soul if it rains in Zandvoort or worse, Monaco

fervent shoal
#

I always find Australia a nightmare

somber elbow
#

really? you too?

#

It was deceptively difficult in F1 challenge 99

#

And it's not too easy here either

#

It's easy to get around, but difficult to be fast one

#

All the corners can and will spin you out

fervent shoal
#

The lines are super narrow, Sector 2 demands such inch perfect precision. its tough

somber elbow
#

I was super fast on Red Bull ring however, so I look forward to that

somber elbow
#

every corner will want to spin you out too

#

Bahrain will be a bit easier on most sections, besides the Esses after turn 1

#

Oh and the hairpins before the two straights

#

They're 2nd gear and hard to pull out of

fervent shoal
#

Bahrain has good space, you can miss an apex and still stay on the track

#

t11 - 13 always catches me out in 2018

#

But I think thats the Toro Rosso i am driving, it was fine for me in the quick race in other cars

somber elbow
#

Yeah it has good sum of lines to take

somber elbow
#

2020 mercedes, 2020 Williams and 2019 F2

#

The Mercedes was faster, no shock, but the F2 was hardest to drive

#

That hairpin just always catches me out

#

I'm gonna go and practice with the Haas as well

fervent shoal
#

You're inspiring me to get back into my 2018 career... I think i have a bogey track coming up though

somber elbow
#

Hehe

#

it's fun to do a career run

#

Especially in the worse teams

#

Makes you appreciate your little victories more

#

And wonder whether if it's the team failing you or you failing them

#

Actually, is it realistic for a backmarker team to somewhat regularly make it into points?

fervent shoal
#

Just compare yourself to the other car

somber elbow
#

2020 haas wasn't too far off of the grid

fervent shoal
#

That's all you can do

#

Haas has never been a 0 points total dog

somber elbow
#

Yeah I was faster than grosjean on qualifying. But I messed up on the race

somber elbow
fervent shoal
somber elbow
#

Yeah quite true. The rain truly humbled me

#

I'm a rookie and this time without any assists so I am doing it realistically

#

I'll do my best for Bahrain

#

hopefully some points

#

We're decent on upgrades. Should get some good ones for Vietnam

#

I did like the Vietnam circuit

#

Thanks for your words of ecnourgement too

If only Alpine had returned my emails applying for the job...

Tweetman the new TP of Alpine

#

You'd do a great job
Cause I am already doing much better in bahrain

#

In time trial I was able to put down a lap of 1:30.8

i find climbing up through q1 q2 q3 so much fun

somber elbow
somber elbow
#

But the Q1, Q2, Q3 system is a relatively new one

#

back in 2020, they still used the old Qualifying format

#

One shot would just not be good enough

#

I do definitely prefer the newer qualifying system to the older one

#

it's more engaging

somber elbow
#

I am never playing F1 2020 again...

distant mica
#

That was quick

somber elbow
#

It's just not fair..

#

Why do I have literally no grip compared to AI

#

Traction control is basically off or on

#

I have no in-between, and I have no pace

#

When I think I am doing well in practice and time trial

#

I have no race pace

#

This isn't fucking fair

distant mica
#

What's your difficulty at

somber elbow
#

no fucking way these cars would be such hell to gain grip with...

somber elbow
distant mica
#

I mean I don't play the game so I don't know how to help

somber elbow
#

Nobody can help

#

no amount of practice can either

#

I am good at this circuit supposedly

#

Yet I have no pace at all

#

I am spinning out even in 3rd sometimes

#

Despite the fact that the AI accelerates out of the corners just fine..

#

I have rewinded the race so many times..

#

I can't start my races for shit

#

I can't defend

#

I keep forgetting to close my ERS

#

I am genuinely fucking useless

distant mica
#

Oh wait you picked the Haas didn't you

somber elbow
#

It has nothing to do with who I picked

#

I'd be useless with any team

#

I cannot for the life of me throrttle manage

#

Hell, I keep forgetting to use my fucking ERS

#

I can't even underfuel so I can fuel manage and get an advantage

#

Literally, I can't do shit

#

I make Mazepin look amazing

distant mica
#

I don't believe that

#

You were doing so good in the Alfa Romeo

#

The only difference I see is that you switched to that shitbox Haas

#

I feel like I'm missing something here

somber elbow
#

Oh no

#

I was doing Alfa in terms of a lie

#

I had many assists on

#

I was constantly overperforming no matter how high the AI was set

#

I thought I was doing well, but I was living a lie

#

Mario told me that I am not driving properly and I cannot go back anymore

somber elbow
#

Yet the assists have made me useless

somber elbow
#

I just can't believe how little grip I ahve regardless of how hard I work

#

I just can't with this

#

How the fuck is anyone supposed to race competitively without TC

#

I just don't understand why I am so slow

#

I can't even completre the fuel and tyre practices on Vietnam

#

What the fuck

somber elbow
#

Bahrain ended up... surprisingly decent

#

I qualified P14 initially, but was able to make up to P11 via an undercut and heavy pushing in the start and end. And just when it seemed like all hope was lost, Leclerc had an engine failure and I was able to get P10 on the 2nd to last lap

#

I sweated hard for that

#

And Vietnam is far worse

#

I don't think I can't handle this

fervent shoal
#

POINT!!!

somber elbow
#

Hehe... yeah..

#

A singular point

fervent shoal
#

🎉🎉🎉

somber elbow
#

brought me to P16 in Driver standings

#

And brought Haas above Williams and Alfa

#

Alphatauri has 2 points

#

Problem is, Vietnam isn't Bahrain

#

And I have no pace at Vietnam

#

I keep crashing and spinning out

#

I should have gotten P9 on Bahrain too

#

I had initially passed Ricciardo but he passed me on a turn and damaged my front wing

#

So I was slow and Gasly got ahead

#

The throttle management is just unfair man

#

And the car understeers regardless of my smooth steering

#

So I can neither get out of corners fast, nor can I get a good line

#

The braking points at Vietnam always lock me up too

#

I genuinely don't know what to do anymore

#

I even brought differential to 50% and increased throttle linearity to 50%

fervent shoal
#

Well you don't give up

somber elbow
#

I am failing practices

#

At this point I might as well skip most of them and just do the race

somber elbow
#

I guess this is what it's like being a rookie and in a bad car

#

I'm the F2 champion and I'm being slaughtered at F1

#

I've becoem Nyck De Vries

fervent shoal
#

Play formula E game

somber elbow
#

Pffft, that'd be the next realistic step

#

Are there even Formula E games

#

I know there are FE cars in other games

fervent shoal
somber elbow
#

That's definitely quite poor compared to what F1 gets

fervent shoal
#

And I think there's an official dlc in Rfactor or something

somber elbow
#

My best bet would be Assetto Corsa

somber elbow
#

I will say

fervent shoal
#

AC doesn't have anything official.

somber elbow
#

I might need to tune the car a bit

#

Lengthen the 2nd and 3rd gears

#

Either that or practice short shifting

#

So I don't wheelspin out of corners

#

I already have no pace anyway
May as well at least not crash the car

somber elbow
fervent shoal
#

Yeah but I want an official, per car generation, game

#

Gen4, then a yearly DLC with new tracks and updates etc

somber elbow
#

Yeah I know what you mean

#

It'd need some proper recognition

fervent shoal
#

If gran turismo can really nail a lot of the detail of regen braking, a dedicated FE game would be incredibly unique

somber elbow
#

Like Brook told me

#

If you want a good experience of a particular car type
You need to play the dedicated game for it

#

You wont get a better GT3 experience than on AC comeptitzione

#

And you won't get a better F1 experience than the EA F1 games

#

And so, to get a good FE experience, we need a dedicated title

#

I need to practice every circuit now

#

I will never be able to finish a season

fervent shoal
#

And you won't get a better Renault Avantime experience than GT7

somber elbow
#

Hehehe

#

That much is true

somber elbow
#

@jaunty crater @pastel ocean @fervent shoal Now this is a result worth talking about

#

This race was proof that miracles do exist. I underfeuled the car and went on a rich rev charge on the first few turns to make up alot of positions, then have a bit of a fight and back and forth with Leclerc and Albon for P8. I managed to keep ahead of him but Albon, Sainz and eventually Norris all passed me. However, just for my luck, on lap 10 turn 1, Sainz had engine failure and caused a safety car. Before Safety car could be deployed, I managed to pass Albon and Norris, then caught up to the back of Ricciardo during safety car. I had been in lean revs and saved up tons of battery and fuel. Soon as lights went green, rich revs and ERS on, I overtook Ricciardo and defended like hell for P5 for the final two laps

#

Given how much I was crashing during practices, I am super proud of this one. I managed to keep it clean and focused and even drove in Cockpit cam for better corner estimation

#

Bravo!!!!!!

Tweetman Steiner is proud xd

#

Admittedly I did lower the difficulty from 80 to 75 for the race

But I do think i do deseerve that P5

I actually read it a bit ago but I was in the middle of a race so I didn’t take the time to comment then

#

Now I’m finished and all I have to tell you is that results come when you persist and don’t give up

#

Sometimes it just isn’t your day and you magically wake up tomorrow and are 10 times faster

#

Also we all have tracks that we think we suck on, but what works for me is that I try to forget it when I have to race there

#

Sometimes you can actually trick your mind into not being such a downer before you even get to race

I am enjoying it quite a bit

#

Now I know how to race in this game

#

Never do more than one race per day

#

I should balance F1 and schoolwork so my head works right

#

One thing I should remember

#

I won't ever push this hard again

#

Never push where it'd just become a game of rewind till I get it right

jaunty crater
#

First power pack event

#

That’s pole

#

They gave GT Sophy outlap discipline I’m impressed

#

She likes to be a cunt to you in the race meaning she’s not afraid to bump into you to get past but hey

#

Not too evil

#

Hmm

#

Guess she is balanced

jaunty crater
#

First race in the dlc

#

I wish I could say I ran into the sunset and that was it but

#

For 2 whole laps I was in a 4 car dogfight for first

#

With each car trying to overtake me from a different line and not hesitating to borderline pit maneuver me into a wall

#

Multiple position swaps but I ran away with it after lap 2 sector 2 in Suzuka

#

They might need to tone down the aggressiveness just a notch cause the bumping is a little much but it’s fun

#

@pastel ocean @jaunty crater @fervent shoal Yet another rather decent result

#

The qualifying went unexpectedly badly. I don't know I felt quick but I qualified really low. But I made the same strategy as before in Vietnam, and pushed hard on the first lap and then bidded my time. Kvyat had an engine failure and caused a safety car. Allowed me to get up to Norris, then had a battle with him as Sainz and Ocon caught up. On the final couple of laps, I was fighting Sainz hard

#

The tire life loss is so quick with this game. One lap everything feels amazing and next lap I feel like I am already losing grip

#

@jaunty crater Here's a bit of a thought process that might interest you
So I am a rookie driver for Haas in 2020
in 2021 they'll get Urakali sponsor and Mazepin will join. Would I realistically be allowed to stay on or would Mick Schumacher be a much more interesting person for them to add?

#

If so, do you think I should move to Alpine or Aston Martin?

#

If I move to Alpine, Alonso will go to Aston early
and if I go to Aston, Vettel would have retired 2 seasons early

jaunty crater
#

depends on your performance, dont you think that they would likely keep a constant points scoring rookie?

#

also you might not even want to stay yourself

somber elbow
#

Taht is true. Reason neither Kevin nor Grosjean were kept were because Mazepin was coming and neither previous drivers were scoring much. So it made sense to hire the upstart and promising rookie, Mick

jaunty crater
#

grosjean also had his accident

somber elbow
#

this is something I love about newr F1 games from 24 onwards

#

the secret meetings and contract details make it much more immersive

somber elbow
jaunty crater
#

yeah ive set a clause for my alpine contract

#

i basically promised to them i would become jesus christ compared to gasly

#

after tsunoda assasinated me in melbourne tho ill have to work harder for it

Ahhh

theyll beg me to stay and probably gain interest from competitors as well

somber elbow
#

Very nice. What do you plan? What are your finishes like so far?

jaunty crater
#

the more i outperform gasly the more say i have in terms of car development

#

if i were to join mclaren for example

#

i had 10% say compared to norris/piastri

#

with gasly i now have like 45% already

somber elbow
#

That definitely has an effect with the general team performance yeah

#

So do you plan to stick with Alpine or move up to another team?

somber elbow
jaunty crater
#

i cranked mine up to 85 since im still experimenting

somber elbow
#

85 is really high compared to me

jaunty crater
#

i personally rewind if i make a silly mistake but i try to use it as little as possible

#

im trying to be honest

somber elbow
#

Do you rewind when you crash?

jaunty crater
#

for example i didnt rewind someone kamikazing into me

somber elbow
#

Man

#

You're very brave

jaunty crater
somber elbow
#

I do want to do that to be honest

#

I keep reducing my rewind count as much as I can

#

but admittedly, I spin out more than I'd like so I still use it alot

#

AI is on 75 too, I wil be cranking that up however

#

I really wanna be good

#

and I am sure I'll achieve that sometime

#

Must admit, i do not look forward to having to feather the throttle all across Monaco for 17 laps

Holy crap. That was a shockingly good qualifying. We were rapid throughout the weekend, during practices and even during qualifying. Considering this circuit, this car suits is shockingly well. our upgrades have also put us above Alphatauri

Very few spins too. It was pouring down in FP1, so I got very used to throttle mangement around Zandvoort

A pretty decent race if I do say so myself. I was able to keep perez behind but man is it so easy to make mistakes around this track. It costs you so much time and speed. I am generally fast around sector 1 but everywhere else everyone seems alot more competent

fervent shoal
#

Smashed it.

#

Bravo

somber elbow
#

Hehehe

#

Thanks alot Tweetman Steiner

#

This was deifnitely my best overall race so far

#

With how consistent I managed to be across both qualifying and race

#

Esteban Ocon got driver of the day, and given how many positions he made up, I ain't surprised

fervent shoal
#

Might be time to ping the ai difficulty up by one or two points , since you're catching up with the physics engine and outperforming your teammate so dramatically

somber elbow
#

I was on 78 for qualifying and went to 80 for the race

#

Might indeed be time to start come off points

#

I'll go to 85 for spain

fervent shoal
#

5 is a big jump. Bump it up another 2, you can gently simulate your opponents, not in Haas, getting better car updates

somber elbow
#

83 then for Spain

#

I expect to come out of points there

#

Its a fast track and our PU isn't that great for top end

#

Though Qualifying practice went decently. Spain is a good track

#

But that final chicane is so infuriating

somber elbow
jaunty crater
#

i think that kind of luck perfectly described red bull albon

#

plus he despised the car

somber elbow
#

Yeah I think this game reflects rhat very well

#

He only barely out qualified me on the start

#

And I was keeping up with him before I had a bit of an incident

#

That safety car helped me alot

#

Will say

#

There's been a safety car nearly every race this season

#

4 out of 5 races

#

And I owe much of my good performance to them

#

Sadly the qualifying at Spain just went badly for no discernable reason. Hell, the qualifying practice estimated that I'd be able to get to 3rd

#

And the race itself... yeah.. not good. I fucked up badly on the pitstop strategy and despite my amazing and clean push on the first lap getting up to P9, I was not able to hold it at all. Ended up getting passed by my rival Kimi on pitstop and got fucked badly by the end with the lack of power. The Mclaren of Norris was very slow itself, but I just should have done better than this

#

Oh and Grosjean retired due to engine failure, so yeah..

#

I am honestly rather confused about this race. It had all the recipe to go well. Hell, this was the first race I've 100%'ed all of my practice sessions before FP3

#

Everyone was just so shockingly quick today and I am still bewildered by the fact that I got left for dead by the Alfas. I couldn't catch them on the straight even with Rich fuel, DRS and ERS activated

#

And the Safety Car restart just went badly too

#

Still, can be worse
Can be FP1 at Monaco under heavy rain.. literally impossible to even drive

#

I really don't like Monaco in this game

fervent shoal
#

Well, you did expect Spain to be tough

somber elbow
#

I did, but it looked hopeful by the end of FP3

#

At least a P10 seemed possible

#

Hell, I was P9 for the first couple of laps

#

But that pitstop strategy really fucked me badly

#

I should have listened to Jeff when he suggested a new pit strategy mid-race

fervent shoal
#

Jeff knows all

finite barn
#

Jeff einstein

somber elbow
#

pffft

somber elbow
#

I just hope we can salvage something from Monaco

#

Maybe a P10, or at least finish ahead of Kimi

#

But honestly i ain't hopeful

fervent shoal
#

Put lots of practice in the arcade kode

#

Mode

#

Monaco is all about precision and confidence

somber elbow
#

Yeah and it's hard to do either

#

I will definitely do a few time trials around there

#

but I am not sure if I'll be able to do any more than finish ahead of Kimi, my rival, here

#

Monaco is always hell when trying to go quick

somber elbow
#

Yeah if I can manage that, I'll be content

#

I would just like for Grosjean to start actually scoring us some points however

#

pull a a Grosjean and dive bomb into P3 xd

jaunty crater
#

I’m not sure about f1 but I hear that for those very narrow circuits you have to kinda drive an opposite way that you would drive an f1 car

fervent shoal
#

Fuck sake Romain

jaunty crater
#

You want to get maximum rotation as quick as possible so maybe trying to deliberately oversteer could help you during the tricky section

somber elbow
#

Well controlling an oversteer is extremelty difficult in a F1 car

#

I can generally get just about enough rotation to make the turns

#

But being fast.. I just don't know

#

Monaco does seem to require a whole different sort of driving style which I don't feel confident with

#

Monaco has always been a throw-away round in a F1 season

#

But especially so in a backmarker car

#

weirdly enough, in F1 Challenge, it was generally easy to set a fast qualifying at Monaco
but not at this game, the AI in this game seem to be masters at Monaco

jaunty crater
#

Well if you don’t qualify well yeah it’s an immediate throwaway

#

Maybe before the Monaco race weekend take a short break from the career mode and drive however many laps you want in free drive mode or something

somber elbow
#

Without assists, my general qualifying pace seems to be quite slow

#

Whcih i don't know why even

#

I don't know where I am losing time

#

Or how to fix it

#

Not yet anyway

somber elbow
jaunty crater
#

Yeah it’s always been a qualifying above all track

#

So you should mostly just try to improve your Saturday and not crash on Sunday

#

No shame in a few flashbacks

#

You can’t expect yourself to have the absolute concentration of a professional

somber elbow
#

I have reduced my flashback count generally, though sometimes I just spin out randomly

#

But yeah nobody could drive this game with it off and have a good time

#

Even in a top contender car

somber elbow
#

I do look forward to Azerbaijan however

#

I felt decently competent there at Alfa Romeo

jaunty crater
#

This game (25 in my case) is just constantly reminding me how much I want a sim rig

#

And that’s probably bad for my wallet

#

Cause it means I’ll be living on assuming a few hundred for the rest of the year cause I don’t want to touch my car savings XD

somber elbow
#

Hehehe

#

Very very true

#

I too want a sim rig playing sim games like these

#

We are both hardcore wannabes who wanna play with little assista dn get an accurate experience

#

But with a controller we're limited, so we're eager to get a wheel for any racing game

fervent shoal
#

Buy the cheap stuff. See how much you use it. Later get the expensive stuff

#

My first rig was a £6 IKEA table

somber elbow
#

That is quite good
but sadly even cheap rig here is too expensive

#

Get creative

#

Not possible

#

Panks of wood go a long way

somber elbow
#

i more so mean a wheel itslef, not a table

fervent shoal
#

Yeah...

jaunty crater
#

my main needs is a wheel that doesnt feel like a toy (size is very important), and noise

#

we are still talking stuff possible with entry level equipment, a new logitech is i assume about 200 pounds for you guys, with 250 you can get a direct drive Moza R3

reef sleet
fervent shoal
#

My £300 wheel is loud as hell, you gotta buy utter shite or REEEAAAALLLYYT expensive stuff to get silence

jaunty crater
#

noise is very important to me because i live with other people in the house, and i mean i am not overplaying the difference

#

and this is how the DFGT sounds like constantly

jaunty crater
fervent shoal
#

I'm well aware. I had that wheel, but I wasn't a late night boy

#

Yeah it's thrustmaster T300, and it is over a decade old now and still runs flawlessly

#

I did play with their late model GT branded wheel once, that thing was amazing

jaunty crater
#

the good thing about the moza is modularity (with as low as 45 bucks you can turn it into a formula style wheel), cheap upgrades and no proprietary shit

jaunty crater
#

the R3 is just a little stronger than a T300 and its a 300 euro wheel of now

fervent shoal
#

The force feedback system is still as good as day one

jaunty crater
#

i would definitely get one if the prices had dropped with the age

#

still hovering at about 300 from what ive seen and i have not stumbled on any of these used for cheap sadly

fervent shoal
#

The curse of high reliability next to relatively low manufacturing volumes

jaunty crater
#

id keep it reliable because that means people who bought them didnt waste their money, even if i cant get one

somber elbow
#

qualified dead last

#

Managed to make it up to P12

#

Then lost my lead to Kimi and Stroll again on the pit stop

#

And Antonio crashed me into the wall on turn 3

So I just retired and went to the paddock crying

#

This marks the end of my career mostly

A Monaco DNF rookie moment

I'm way slower than average on Azerbaijan qualifying practice too

Nor is it acceptable to ever DNF

#

Wanna hear the worst part?

#

The reporter said "there are rumors that you're going to transfer to Williams"

#

I am not even gonna last at Haas.. I'm gonna get demoted to Williams at this rate

#

Why would there be rumors about going to a worse team..

#

Oof

#

That's just twitter

#

Smash it in Azerbaijan

#

I'll end up smashing it into a wall

#

I am just useless

#

I used to think that before

#

But now I know it

#

I know Azerbaijan will have the same story

#

Horrible pace despite the initial few lap push

#

Then we fuck up the pit strategy

#

Missing points on research points due to practice failure

#

I can't even do the fuel one

fervent shoal
somber elbow
#

Oh I am not just stupid

#

I'm utterly hopeless and I will not be able to keep my spot at Haas

#

Oh and I also crashed exactly where Charles above did

fervent shoal
#

Aww no

#

We all crash there

#

That's what lots and lots of practice is for

#

Get in time trial mode

#

You wanna spend a couple hours minimum

somber elbow
#

Oh no

#

I spent half an hour practicing Monaco

#

I did 15 laps and only one of them was validated

#

And I still sucked complete ass there

fervent shoal
#

Very normal

somber elbow
#

Not normal at all

#

Time trial does nothing to improve

fervent shoal
#

Half an hour is barely long enough to learn anything for like... Porsche supercup.

somber elbow
#

If you're gonna suck, you'll suck since practice

somber elbow
#

It'd not change anything

fervent shoal
#

When I was doing GT Sport competitively I wanted at least four hours, spread across multiple days, I got SO MUCH faster after practicing and THEN sleeping

somber elbow
#

Here's the difference

#

You're a pro

#

You have wheel setup

#

And you're not mentally ill

#

4 hours of practice makes no difference when you don't understand where you're failing

#

It's not just feeling

#

The AI cheats for me if I were to guess

fervent shoal
#

Oh the F1 ai absolutely cheats

#

I can barely do a lap in those games

#

Then what's the point of playing..

fervent shoal
#

To improve

somber elbow
#

Improve what

fervent shoal
#

Your performance at the game

somber elbow
#

My race craft clearly isn't imprvomh anymore

#

And I'm never getting near points realistically

#

As I'm spinning out every race

#

AND QUALIFYING SO FUCKING BADLY

#

I am literally playing as best as possible

#

And the game doesn't want me to succeed

fervent shoal
#

It's like dark souls, and games like that. There's some way of learning, or understanding, the mechanics of the game better, to improve

somber elbow
#

No its not like then

#

Those games are clearly meant for you to succeed

fervent shoal
#

But the F1 games will make you find your ceiling, they're designed for the griup of people who eSports play them full time.

somber elbow
#

This game is meant for you to fail

#

I am learning so much just for the sake of this game

#

And yet I'm still no better off

#

Hell it's worsened if anything

#

Why the hell am I qualifying 20th on Monaco and why am I so slow on Azerbaijan

#

I genuinely am emabressed

#

I genuinely don't want to play anymore

#

Instead of being rewarded for my efforts, I get put down

#

And demoted to Williams in the future

fervent shoal
#

That's f1

#

Find the settings, the difficulty and assist stuff, that makes it fun, and feel fairer. That's what you've got to do

somber elbow
#

"Fairer"

#

The assists and difficulty all judge me

#

I either overperform or underperform

#

I am not allowed to play an easy game

#

I am not allowed shit

fervent shoal
#

The assists don't judge you. ESPECIALLY if you're on a controller. The F1 games are borderline unplayable on a controller

somber elbow

The assists do judge me

#

As do you guys

#

I don't care what you say or what you actually think

#

I know what I think you think

#

That I'm weak, that I'm pathetic

You are playing the F1 game on a comtroller

Then there's no point at all

F1 is supposed to be cool and fun

Yet all its been is misery and suffering and no results

Instead of actually improving

I did one decent race

And it's all been downhill

It's not fair..

Mario is doing everything by the book

And yet I fail everything..

It doesn't matter how long Mario has been playing for

#

Point is that he's playing it properly

#

And on much higher difficulty

#

While I'm struggling on every turn and am using flashbacks like an idiot

#

I'm genuinely about to cry because of this game

#

Nothing I do gets any results

#

My one good race at Zandvoort was that, just one good race

#

And it has nothing to do with what car I drjve

#

I'd qualify as bad as a Haas in a Mercedes ad well

fervent shoal
#

Properly playing a racing game is by enjoying yourself

#

Have you TRIED qualifying in a mercedes?

somber elbow
#

What difference would it make
I'm 1 second slower than my teammate who's in the same car

#

At most I'd improve a bit in a faster car

#

Otherwise, I'd still be down the grid

#

Despite being in the fastest car

somber elbow
#

I thought I was enjoying myself when I was playing with assists with Alfa Romeo

#

Then I realized what Mario is doing

fervent shoal
#

Don't you worry about what Mario is doing

#

You were enjoying yourself in the Alfa

somber elbow
#

Not anymore..

#

I don't enjoy anything with this anymore

You'll find the fun again, you just have to detach that fun from comparing your performance to other people.

It's such a joke..

I just want to cry to be honest that Everything I enjoy and touch turns to shit..

@somber elbow because you asked for an update, just got done with the japan gp race, managed to qualify 8th after quite comfortably making Q3 with a P7, and then in the race i got quite lucky with light rain for the last 5 laps so when my old mediums were gone tsunoda and russel behind me didnt have the grip on track to manage an overtake

full race without DRS in light rain

somber elbow
#

lack of DRS definitely helps

#

But racing in rain is also harder

#

The fact that you managed is impressive

#

More impressive that it rained in Bahrain

#

our DRS completely sucks though so its a massive weight lifted if its off

somber elbow
#

Yeah I can imagine. You are in the worse car, so one element agasint you goes away

jaunty crater
#

we run high downforce plus the shittiest engine so yeah

#

but the alpine handles really well in low speed

somber elbow
#

might help you in slower more technical circuits

Welp

#

I give up

#

I used the AI calculator for a time of 1:26.286 at Albert Park

#

And it gave me the 72 difficulty

#

I made a grand prix and entered with that difficulty and only was able to qualify 3rd

#

Already bad

#

But then I enter the race, and I get passed and finish 4th

#

I am not just bad

#

I am absolutely and completely useless at this game

#

Sorry mario, you made my expectations of myself go higher and I ended up ruining the game for myself because of it
