The only thing that I've found difficult in the new game is getting my setups right, I'm normally good at tuning but it's taken a while but I've started to crack it. Some of you may know in previous games you could exploit setups by using the ballast setting, so you could run low wings but still get good grip and balance. Ballast is no longer in the game which is good imo. At Baku I did 30 laps in practice trying to tune a setup and then boom I had it, I was suddenly 6 tenth faster than my best lap and around my team mates time, felt so good.

I did and it's bloody awesome, but doing manual labour in this heat wasn't fun lol.

Ordered that seat, Amazon sent me a dog cage, I am raging! This is from Amazon and not a random seller on Amazon. Spent 45 mins with customer service and they were useless, that's me being polite as this is a PG site lol.

So my current PC chair has become super uncomfortable on top of the gas lift not working. Even though I haven't had it long I've had to buy a new one as it hurts my arse lol. The braking point was last night 30 laps into a race in F1 19 the pain was excruciating, it still hurts this morning lol. Went with a Corsair T2, wanted red and black but that cost £10 more and wouldnt arrive until Saturday, so went with black and white and it'll arrive tomorrow

The hud is fine, hadn't even noticed it was different tbh.

Well I'll find out what they are like in the race, but I've now set it to 98 which is higher than I had it in last years game. This game was tuned for my wheel as it was a partnership between F1/Codemasters and Fanatec, so that is helping me.

Loving F1 19 even though no VR. The FFB feels even better than last year and the lighting is a huge improvement. Also I'm watching a guy I sub to stream it, when someone asks me in the chat if I'm Hughesy from the Codemasters forum lol. That guy was @Juice29 I'm famous now lads Some of the curbs are dangerous though which were fine to ride on in 18, but you get used to it. I'm using difficulty 95 but in Q1 I'm a second faster than my team mate. I'll see what happens in the race, but I might up it to 100.

Only slightly? That's awesome though bud, how long until you join Williams and stop them being so arse.

Yeah Dirt 2.0 is meant to be getting it in the summer, it's the summer now lol, but that is the reason I haven't bought it as I loved Dirt in VR. They definitely have the money to make it, if teams like Slightly Mad and Kunos can afford to support it, then so can Codemasters. If they want to be taken seriously as a racing studio then they need to support VR. I'm sure the actual devs want to add it, but Codemasters were taken over a while back and it seems to me the owners are greedy types, they dont want to take the initial hit of more work with less profit, for future gains. Racing is actually the easiest type of game to develop VR for. The only challenge is getting the HUD right, but Codemasters F1 games dont have a lot of elements like a full on sim like iracing, so even that wouldnt be too hard.

See I actually went past that point and was self harming between September and November last year. The only person I ever told was @RevolvingPrawn until now. I actually have a scar across my stomach from a particularly bad cut. I managed to climb out of that hole, which is surprising considering the death of my mum in January, I genuinely thought I was going to crash and burn after that, but somehow kept it together. I'll always stick with my bro, but I'm worried that if it ended badly he'd do something stupid, rather than ending it on his terms and focusing on himself and his little kid.

She as pretty as the Hulk... The worst thing is he's still with her after that. Depression has really changed my bro, he has 0 self worth and it's painful to see, because in the past he wouldn't have taken this ****. The amount of times I've pleaded with him to move on with her, but he doesn't, yet if the marriage happens I'll have to sit there and support him as he's my bro, knowing that it'll end in a divorce. Like I don't have a lot of self worth due to my condition, but I'd never let someone treat me like that.

Racing in VR is such a game changer. When you haven't used it it's ok as you dont know what you're missing. Every racing sim that comes out on PC has VR support, but Codemasters are lagging behind, its shocking that the official F1 game, the so called pinnacle of motorsport doesn't have VR. Last night I did an hour long race on iRacing in VR. It was in GT3 cars at Imola, for the full hour I was battling with someone for 3rd place. I came 4th by 2 tenths, but it was the most fun I've had racing. Then this morning I played F1, and it just felt dull playing on a flat screen. I do love the F1 games, as long as I haven't used VR for like a week lol.

Still no VR though. I'm glad I'm only paying a euro for it due to the wheel I bought. I'm fed up with them ignoring VR, next year I just won't buy it unless they add support for it.

This is the cup/mug she flipped about, like it literally says dad on it. Sure his ex wife bought it, but a 4 year old is hardly going to go and buy it himself lol. Imagine is rotated on here for some reason but whatever.

She is dude, like she can be really nice and then flips at the smallest things. I know shes had bad relationships in the past, one of which she got pregnant and then guy left and never came back, but looking at how she is I cant say i blame him if she was already like this, although ditching a kid isnt cool. It's a shame as her kid is ok, pretty much every time shes been here she wants to play a game in VR. But theres only so many times I can tell my bro as he doesnt listen and then comes crying to me when it goes wrong. Its frustrating as last time they split up I gave him a load of money to put a deposit down on a flat but then he ends up with her again.

Do you guys remember my post about my bros crazy partner? Well he persisted with her and they are meant to be getting married in February, but predictably it’s gone wrong again. So it’s fathers day and his ex wife bought him a mug from their child. Well his crazy controlling partner went mental about it, came into his work place and chucked the engagement ring at him. Like ***, the mug is from his little 4 year old boy, not his ex wife. So now he’s probably going to be sleeping at mine tonight which will be annoying as he works weird hours. When will he see that enough is enough and he shouldn’t be with her. He has no problem getting girlfriends so why persist with someone who is so messed up in the head.

Yep, I already had the standard gamepass which is unbelievable value, currently have 60 games installed on my Xbox One X because of it and had to buy an external drive. But this new offer was too good to pass up as I split my time between Xbox and PC Microsoft started poorly this gen, but have finished so much stronger. Even though I'm kinda back to PC gaming, I'll no doubt get the new Xbox when its released.

@PJTierney Thanks for the heads up, just did the same but only 24 months as I've spent so much in the last few months as people could gather from my posts lol.

The problem is he's spending all of his free time getting himself looking like Hulk Hogan. I'm not even going to recognise him when I see him next, when he's not working he's out exercising. I wish I could do the same, I hate having skinny arms and a fat belly. There's only one form of medication that could get me out exercising, but it's not legal here but is in the US, I know how well it works as last time I tried it I didnt have to use crutches for a whole day. Lol

Just be careful of motorcyclists, they be crazy! Also we can take down the Revolving Prawn wanted posters, he has been found alive lol

Well it's a few less 0's than yours

You'd cry even more if you knew how much my car insurance was...

96 is also where I'm at. Just bought a new rim so that I can use my wheel on Xbox, it's the cheapest rim so its not super fancy, but still over 150 euros. Edit: Sweet, it's coming this Friday, Fanatec have really upped their shipping game, used to take weeks to get orders lol.

They are, but I already have them lol. Who here wishes Codemasters would jump on the cross-play train? We'd finally all be able to race each other. It was cool when a few of us raced GT Sport together as we were all pretty close in terms of pace.

@PJTierney I loved Nier Automata, Not sure about my total playtime but it was a lot
