    Well a long with being quick in the wet during qualifying, I was quick in the race. I got my first points finishing 9th and Alonso came 10th :D
    Alonso must be delighted he's probably almost forgotten what it feels like to score points :p
    Yea but he got beaten by a rookie, Hamilton and Alonso all over again :joy:

  2. You know if they did add this it would be enough for me to buy a VR headset, because I'm loving this game so much.

    Btw in Q1 at Spain it was raining, in my McLaren I set the fastest second sector in the session. That shows how good the chassis is, but the lack of power really screws me. At the moment I'm mainly doing reliability upgrades, but I need more power.

  3. I don't think you can call a racing game perfect if the qualifying times are simulated and based on what you do. When your qualifying time is miles faster, then after the time ends you are suddenly 10th and then two seconds faster in the race then them, it's not very good. Codemasters did this in 2010, people got really angry about it and then did it properly after, so I have no idea why they've gone back to making it like this. It really ruins the simulation of the game and the enjoyment of qualifying.

  4. Be warned, qualifying times are no longer set in real time, like in 2010 they are simulated. @RevolvingPrawn warned me about it earlier, at that point I hadn't noticed it. Then we were racing online, 1-2 by miles and then suddenly I was down to 10th. To put it into perspective, during the race I was 2 seconds faster than the ai each lap, I can't believe Codemasters have done this again, just when I thought the game was perfect.

  5. You need to click on the little picture, then paste the code then just push the space bar. If it doesn't show up after doing that you are using the wrong link code, should be called direct link, at least on Imgur it is which is the best btw



  6. No idea if I'm honest with you :joy: I wanted some blue as I do like the colour, originally the yellow was black, but then you couldn't really see the blue next to it. I did think about making it look like the Renault above, but I wanted red. I'm just glad we can change it whenever we want.

  7. I have had to change 3 parts of my power unit already just before Bahrain qualifying, so just like real life, it's going to be a long season for me at McLaren :joy:

    Doesn't look much different to me, must just be your helmet colour.

    Great picture  of the Renault bud, still my favourite livery.

    Yay my front wing development has failed, but at least my engine upgrade worked which is why the McLaren really needs.

    Sounds strange to be celebrating a failure but whatever. :p I've got a couple of upgrades in the works on both the Chassis and Aerodynamics section as that's what  the Williams needs most atm. Hopefully neither of them fail but you never know.
    It was sarcasm  ;)

    After finishing my second race last night, my engine had 60% wear, I lost power during the race, which at China wasn't great. I finished 15th and beat Alonso, I did a one stop race starting on super soft then went to mediums, almost everyone else did two stops using super softs and softs.

    Woke up this morning with a bad shoulder, either slept on it funny, or it's from using my wheel for most of the day yesterday. I'm still going to start playing again once I've finished my coffee. I still can't get over how detailed the wheel FFB is, for 6 years every F1 game has felt numb and disconnected, now it's just as detailed as RF2. IMO it's a masterpiece.

  9. I'll show you my helmet tomorrow mate.... :joy:

    Btw you have gone for the same design as me, but different colours.

    I have changed the colour a few times, still not totally happy, but thankfully you can edit it whenever you want.

    Just about to start my second race, already used 48% of my first internal combustion engine after just one race, practice and qualifying done at the second, I love Honda so much....


  10. It's basically a RPG racing game isn't it :D So far in my first ever lap in the set I'm only a tenth slower than Alsono, pretty happy with that. The new graphics settings totally change the look compared to last season, like ultra plus shadows, SSRT shadows and ASSAO, it really looks amazing.

    Ah missed out on getting into Q2 by .050. Now to do my first race, if the game wasn't so fun I wouldn't be playing still, as I'm in quite a bit of pain at the moment. It's also raining in the race, but driving in the wet was fun during qualifying. With the FFB being so much better, I can feel what's going on with the car unlike last year.

    Im definitely going to get engine penalties during the season, good old McLaren Honda lol.

  11. Man it's so much fun. They have really nailed the physics, there's more traction from the rears, but when you lose it it's hard to recover like we've seen in real life. Career mode is also much improved, I also like that ai difficulty now uses numbers, so you can tweak it to exactly how you want it.

    My first qualifying session and it's raining lol.

  12. @RevolvingPrawn Dude the impulse triggers work on PC. Go into settings, there's one called trigger rumble, if it's on auto set it to on. Codemasters kept that quiet. I'm just about to use my wheel, but I thought I'd tell you after finding the setting and then testing it with my controller  :D

    Uhh wow Codemasters have finally done it, they've finally made good FFB, it feels amazing. There's a lot more settings to change as well, track bumps, and a load more. There's also a setting called enhanced understeer, it basically makes you feel it better. This is the first time I've been happy with the FFB in Codemasters F1 game. So yea there's that and the impulse triggers for controllers, they have really gone above and beyond this year, looking forward to playing it with you Saturday.

    Just started my career with McLaren, the second worst car, but I wanted that so I can put those upgrades to good us, plus they are my favourite team and the best looking car in my opinion.

  13. Wow they've really optimised the game a lot better this year. Last year with my 980 I struggled to get 60fps at all tracks, especially Baku, this year totally maxed out and at Baku it's 60fps with room to spare :D Also the engine noise from the old cars are orgasmic.
