FOX is still great to race

Quote from tristancliffe :

Yes there is - edit cfg.txt, and find "mpr messages 0". Change the 0 to a 1 to get rid of chat, but not system messages, or to a 2 to get rid of it all.

Thanks :thumb3d:

There's no way to turn everything off in replays though ...

^^ What he said basically. Once you get used to sitting low there's no real advantage of sitting higher, you end up looking further ahead and just (as said above) make points to aim for and turn at, instead of watching what your driving on. In the FO8 i have lowered it enough so that you cant turn your head 180 deg and see behind you because you'll just see the car, which definently is more realistic

I also liked this feature, i used to use it a lot when doing rally X in the RB4, changing down to 2nd or 1st for a hairpin, and then releasing it slightly early and get the back end out. I can understand that its better for the racing cars now, but i would still like to use this feature with the road cars .... isn't it possible to have it as an option ?

Why dont you sell something ... on ebay :scratch:

oops lol ..... 180cm

again, the tracks dont need to be that wide !

I was just saying i dont like wide tracks, and dont see a point in them. Tracks like Sepang are 25m wide, an F1 car is only a tiny bit over 3m and you could fit 6 cars side by side with a metre gap in between! Fern Bay is quite narrow (14m), but i wouldn't see any poing making it wider than 16m or 17m.

Look at the bottom picture, its overgrown now, but you can see how thin Hockenheim used to be out in the forrest

Do you really need the mini map though

Quote from Tweaker :

I personally think that the S2 race tracks are well designed, but imagine if there was a version of Fern Bay that is of much larger scale and wider...

Wide tracks dont make better racing, because there's still 1 main racing line. I dont like the new wide tracks in F1, they just seem pointless. I remember Hockenheim before it was ruined, the huge straights out into the woods at 210+ mph, on a thin track, made it look crazy fast, but people still overtook

Yes there are tyres such as the ones at the chicanes on FE that should be kept, but there are pointless ones ... this has already been said ... just look at the pics, there are more but i dont need to show all of them, and this is just Fern Bay, Westfield also has quite a few. These are corners that arent exactly possible to cut, so is there a need for the tyres


The third picture, this is on a straight, but often people run wide from the chicane and bring the tyres onto the track ...

Do we still need all the free standing tyres on the tracks? Some of them are useful such as on the FE chicane, but the straight and sweeping corners after that (FE black and gold) dont really need tyres, there's no way of cutting the corners successfuly, and then when someone spins and hits the tyres, the tyres end up on the track and cause more accidents.

In some of the slower cars you can normally get out of the way. But with any high speed car, especially the BF1 the tyre barriers dont help ...

140mph

....

:bowdown: man this cars good

well it wouldnt look any worse :dopey:

Maybe if the tyres in game looked better it would seem better ?

Its good to try different stuff .... but im not sure on this pic

The physics are more important. But if the damage was harsher it would affect the way people drive and how hard they push

I was playing nKp a lot, guess i got used to that damage

BF1 ... best car in the game

I use 103 FOV

With it higher i get a better sense of where i am on the track, instead of looking through a tunnel

Quote from Axell :

I want this simply because I think the view is a bit low down in the open wheelers.

Alex.

Low down ? i feel like im standing in the FO8 (well, almost)

Is it just me or is it harder to damage the suspension on all of the cars ?

"Gear shift levers no longer hold the clutch" Is this completly removed .. I liked this feature, it was nice being able to shift to 1st, rev it up, and let go of the stick
