Welcome to True Force Tuning (TFT), formerly known as Renown Tuning (hence the accompanied banner). True Force Tuning focuses on giving you the most out of Formula 1 vehicle, no matter the team nor the consequences behind it. While we can't guarantee a top finish because that's solely dependent on the one behind the wheel, what can be guaranteed is we'll try as hard as possible to give you every last inch of power your car has to offer. Personal requests are welcomed, and they can either be posted here for all else to see or you can request that they be PM'd to you by myself. You can be as specific with your requirements as needed, or you can just request a general improvement of some kind - whatever the request we'll do our best to meet it.
Our primary goal is simple and that goal is to give you the best possible experience in F1 2011 and 2012 to the very best of our experience and abilities. All of the settings will be handled by myself (and perhaps a team, should anyone else find themselves interested in contributing). We're more than happy to acknowledge criticism whether it be negative or positive, so long as it's civilized, otherwise it will just be disregarded. I'm going to list my own personal favorites/settings shortly but let's concentrate on the task at hand first - speed and stability!
What goes into testing and how does True Force test vehicles?
- TFT has official use of the following tracks for testing purposes: Melbourne, Suzuka, Monza, Monaco, and Nurburgring GP. These tracks offer the greatest variety between themselves but the one constant between them is their focus, and that focus being acceleration and downforce; if you want your chassis for a specific track you'll have to pay the fees yourself. We're only sponsored by the tracks listed above. While top speed is always a priority, especially in a Formula 1 vehicle there will be tunes that take top end speed out of the immediate equation and will then focus upon acceleration, grip, and acceleration. Yes, acceleration was mentioned twice on purpose. No typos here, and if I find any someone is getting the socks sued right off of their feet.
What constitutes as a "good" lap time?
- That's solely dependent on the track and chassis being used.
What if I am unhappy with the tune?
- Simply alert me to whatever the problem may be and I will do my best to alleviate the problem as soon as possible.
What's the difference between the variety of available tunes?
- Each tune will be listed under the appropriate chassis, and the primary difference between the tunes will be on one hand you'll have a general usage tune with no specific track in mind. On the other hand you'll have track-specific tunes that are only to be used for that particular track, and will more than likely maximize upon the characteristics of that individual track. General use tunes will be labeled as "Version 1, Version 2, etc..." and the track specific tunes will be labeled as "(name of track) Edition".
I'm currently having some problems with my controller settings and/or I can't seem to find a comfortable setting; what would you suggest?
- These are the settings that I currently use...keep in mind now these are PRELIMINARY settings, they can (and will) change once I've fiddled around with everything more.
