I have lock my game and then unlocked it but the new "BMW" is not there

nicolson10, just download the full version and install that instead.

This is fantastic. Makes rFactor look childish (it was already actually,now even more)

The FZ5 still doesn´t handle anything like a Porsche/Ferrari ! It drives like a pig. I would say the handling comes close to let´s say a Mercedes CLS 350/500, okay maybe not that bad . A Porsche 911 sticks to the road like glue feels very light weight with direct steering and throttle responses.

and yeah ive driven them IRL

The tires are improved but still ...
you can brake down from 240 kmh to 120 kmh like nothing and pull of the craziest drifts without any effort and lose grip at pretty low speeds. Drifting is even more easy than before the patch ! Try this stuff IRL lol

Quote from spacedeck :

when u think there will be sets out for the cars for this new patch?

like with othere patch u could go to a certain site and dl setups.

I haven't done a thing at work all day today, so I checked out the Inferno site to see if they reset all the setups or not. Yup, all the sets were reset, but many of the F1 car sets have been uploaded already.

Don't know if it was mentioned, but "/w wr" doesnt seem to work when I am online on a server.

Quote from BWX232 :

Problem:
In the XR GTR I cannot see the gear indicator on the dashboard when steering wheel enabled.
But of course in new BMW F1 need wheel to see anything.. Hmmm..

AFAIK, this bug was in the old patch as well (P and Q). I think I've read it somewhere here before.

After the patch I have much more fun with the GTI. Am I the only one who thinks the GTI engine sound is a lot different and better?

Love the tyre imprints too.

Are the switches behind the streering wheel in XR Turbo new?


... aching of not being able to test BF1 :banghead:

Finally I can drive the RWD cars around the track without spinning off

Huge improvement with this patch and it makes the game so much more fun.

Sucker!

Someone should really a record a video from the BF1 to tease demo players, and with sound now that it actually sounds closer to a formula than food mixer. Or gimme a decent replay and I can do that.

Same impression here, also it has improved in my oppionion.
See my thread about wrong longitudinal behaviour of the tyres ...

I have a good comparison since in the last weeks I was trying very hard to get into the 1:16s using the FZR at SO Town rev.

Today on my third lap with the update patch, I got a 1:16.11 Not only that, but I can see a few more seconds will drop too. With the old patch I must have driven 50 laps without cracking 1:17 illepall

With the better tire physics, I feel like there is no more "gray zone" where the physics engine doesn't know what to do.. like the slippery uphill right hander after the start/finish and the nasty downhill hairpin right after.

Even better, I don't have the rear end losing is so much with engine braking

Thanks so much Scawen! Now I can drive way more aggressive!!

Cor, it didnt take long for the whingers and naysayers to turn up did it.

My first impressions after 30+ laps of Aston are that the BF1 is just extraordinary. The sweepy back section of the long aston circuits is just incredible, you can hardly believe its coming at you that fast.

new patch??? lost me... when did it come out, and what version is it?

well first of all the sauber is great ... i need to use a custom view to see much of anything of the track buts otherwise its lovely

now of course the biggie ... tyres ... generally the have certainly improved by quite a lot but is still find myself in uncatchable slides at low speeds sometimes and going back to q it somehow felt like tyres regain grip more suddenly in q ... but this might also be caused by a different weird behaviour of the tyre model which is that you have too much grip while sliding ... some of the cars are nigh on impossible to spin and the xrt feels massively underpowered when youre sideways now

so im not so sure wether i like it the new physics or not yet ... some points have improved a lot some have gotten worse

My first impression was "damn these tyres are sticky!"

A few laps, yes, BF1 is nice altho a little dull IMO, AS North is great, the new numbers in times aren't as good as the old ones, but they'll do.

But what I'm really impressed about is that how great the FO8 is now!!! I mean, dear lord(s), the improvement is HUGE! I couldn't drive the thing before, but now I love it! Too bad it's probably going to be useless online because everyone's driving the BF1.

I just did an endurance test, to try out how long the tyres hold. I did 67 minutes with the xrr on kyoto gp long, and then the front left tyre popped. I think it is possible to add a few more laps, considering the amount of tyre that is left.

I have tried the r4s a little bit, but I couldnt get them up to temperature at Kyoto national using 140ish tyrepressure.

I really like the new aero physics, it allowes you to drive a lot closer, much more fun racing.

the bf1 is insane, i love it. But, i just went online and well, i thought racing the fo8 was bad enough. With the bf1 theres so many crashes.

dunno about that ... it feels so dull and slow after driving the bf1 ... and with the new tyre physics its lost some of its teeth too

Quote from BWX232 :

New F1 car has no dashboard if wheel is gone... that sucks.. have not tested other cars.

Huh..I wonder why? :doh: maybe because the wheel "IS" the dash?

no shit! OMG!

I expected the wheels LCD would show up on the cockpit dashboard if the wheel was off.

S2-S looks as if all S2-Q cars (especially the previously nasty RWD cars) have been converted to BMWs and follow their slogan:

Sheer Driving Pleasure

This patch does hateful things to my productivity. Just spent another hour trying out different cars. The LX6 and RA are an absolute pleasure now. So tossable and happy to be throttle-steered. What fun.
