Flick the wheel lock to lock??? There's 900 degrees rotation man.
 
That's crazy! I doubt you were flicking the wheel that much because in the hairpin at FB 10 I only had to flick the wheel about 200 degrees!
 
a little trick drifters use called throwing the wheel :lol:

I know when I turn the wheel left for the hairpin, I go full lock, and then I flick the wheel back to neutral position and give it gas. That's why the wheel turned so quick. I couldn't find the picture I was talking about, so I'll take a new one
 
In F1 car? No thanks, I'll stick to keeping my rear wing out of the walls. ;)

Ninja edit - Because that's how I drive. You have a much different driving style than me.
 
Sorry for the crudely taken iPhone 3Gs picture, but this is my wheel (you can see my PSN ID in the background) http://bit.ly/NRbFJy

I have the FFB set relatively low (5) so I can flick the wheel from lock to lock quickly. The low FFB settings could possibly be why you think I'm using a controller, as there is less resistance and I can move the wheel much quicker then the default FFB setting (10).

That´s why you using more tyres.
Try with maximum FFB setting and you should start to drive like with a wheel, not a controller.

Killa had a similar problem initially, tried to make the car behave like when using a controller, but soon that disappear and finished 2nd in his 2nd race with a wheel.

Driving with a wheel like with a controller is hurting your speed and burning your tyres.

Probably a good idea your best time was only a 1:14 :indiff:
 
Oh, and Afro, putting your wheel lock to lock (especially in these cars) isn't the best way to drive the F1 car, or any other car in general. It puts more strain on the tires, the wheels get hot, and you experience understeer. Most of the time you only need about 200 degrees of steering on either side to get the car around.

I'm assuming it would be a good idea to put the FFB on 10 then?
 
Well, it depends. I've looked through plenty of threads as to what Force Feedback to use, some said 4, 7, 10, etc. I've driven with force feedback 5-10 and I like the feel of 10 better. It has a much better response than other FB settings, and you could feel the car/track much, MUCH better. Although it's your choice, fiddle around with FB settings until you find one you're comfortable with and makes you faster.

Hmm alright! I'll expiriment when I get home tonight. Would it be better to slowly increase the FFB, or start at 10 and work my way down if that's too much?
 
As I've said plenty and plenty of times, it's your choice. When I was new with the wheel I tried from low-high, and eventually stayed on high, but if you like low feedback, you could try do high-low to find your favorite FB setting. I did it from 5-10, and eventually stuck with 10.

I dont stream any races but I might stream a practice session. Wont stream the race because it takes away my concentration from the race. If you see in the video I posted I keep weaving on the straights. Thats down to me looking at my laptop which is where id look at the chatbox.

I doubt I can match the editing skills of toolo4sno. That man should have a job at FIA TV. Perhaps I could do a 10min highlight video but definitely not a full race.

I do an alright job. My work has grown over time (that and my commentary wav file collection). I can't even watch my early work, and without commentary is tough to sit thru. I have such a backlog on life and things going on that require my attention.

I've been trying to come up with ways to shorten the production time up and only do a highlight reel. Doing that requires many drivers to recall and post their highlight reel worthy moments, which makes the capturing easier. I have a que of at least two races I'd like to do videos of (nothing from this season or league for that matter). One where I actually won an F1 GP at Laguna Seca (no, immortal wasn't there, but an underprepared artmannn was there. That's worth something). That reminds me, Laguna Seca has to get back on the calendar next season, just not first race.

I think Monza/Madrid should receive highlight reels. ;)

Afro - No problem!

Can you make a 10min highlight video from the fuji race?

I find Fuji very difficult (to run fast) in the F10. I lose all my time in the last sector.Will definitely start practicing tonight. I have all the old set ups I used last season to see what works. My plan is to get some practice in every day to get ready for the next race!!!👍

on the last 2 turns all u have to remember is don't brake and turn at the same time cuz u will spin quicker than a cheata chasing its tail

y not just save the replays n record them l8r or is this live. also if some one can take the replays n do a comentary on the race that would be pretty cool although it would be hard to follow all of the events that take place.

I swear to god I'm using a wheel, a DFGT. I took different lines through some of the corners, which probably put more stress on the tires. As for the lock to lock at the hairpin, I have the FFB set relatively low (5) so I can flick the wheel from lock to lock quickly. The low FFB settings could possibly be why you think I'm using a controller, as there is less resistance and I can move the wheel much quicker then the default FFB setting (10). I'm not sure how to prove I'm using a wheel. I took a picture of my setup a little while ago while playing F1 2011 and posted it on twitter. When I find the link, I'll post it

I also use FFB on 5 n I never hit the lock on any turn not even at monaco

After watching the replays I think I finally found out why my times were so awful compared to everyone else's (I think my best lap was 1:14 on mediums).

I guess I was trying a little too hard to emulate real-life F1, as I was literally the only person who actually geared down for corners. All of you guys went through the hairpin (which is a 1st gear corner) in 3rd, sometimes 4th gear, and took all of the corners at a higher gear then intended, which seemed to work out in your benefit, as your exit speed from those corners was much higher then mine. I didn't watch the replays from everyone's perspective, but it seemed as if everyone I did spectate had used that tactic. Ahh, the little things like that make all the difference I guess
Click to expand...

its probably ur setup i know I have to take that hairpin in 2 but im using a trik tranny so im in a higher gear usually my gear in each turn at monaco is: first turn-4th or 5th, chicane-full speed, 2nd turn- 6 then down to 5th mid turn and 4th or 5th in the next right b4 the checkerd patch, next right is in 3rd then the hairpin in 2nd, next right in 3rd and the turn b4 the tunnel also in 3rd, tunnel full speed the bustop in 3rd and the next left in 5th or 6th, full throttle on the next chicane and brake mid turn on the first right, 5th for the second right and 4th in the last left, next in 2nd for the up hill right and 4th for the last turn leading onto the front stretch.

I hit full left lock sometimes (when my tires were worn especially) just to cut around the hairpin as sharply as I can though.
 
I use FFB on 1, anything higher makes wheel feel heavy as if there is no Power steering. Also you end up steering a lot more than you need to, wearing your tyres. I like the slightest fell on the rumble strips and bumps on the road otherwise i feel like i'm losing control if its higher than 1 and i try to adjust and then spin. Besides, how can u do 60 laps at Monaco on FFB 10?? your arms must have hurt like hell.

You use FFB on 1? Damn, the lowest I had it on was 3, and that felt a bit too loose. As for the getting worn out, I agree! My arms and shoulders hurt a bit after Practice, qualifying, and then the 60 lap race With FFB on 5 (at least 120 laps)
 
Man, you guys need to work out.
