Not sure on the Watkins Glen 1000km whether it forces the actual helmet to be shown or not.. not even sure if you can force that.
You can force cockpit (including helmet) but not the fake-ass helmet or the blur, thank God. So, yea, that's my normal view...and now yours by the sound of things!
I haven't found the look to apex in F1 2017 to be anywhere close to pCars but maybe I don't have it maxed out so that's yet another thing for me to check out tonight if I get on the console.
Considering just the look and not the helmet or blur, it's very very close. I basically max it out because it's not as extreme on either end, like pCARS.
The oval is not particularly difficult, just flat out and hang on and hope the car and your wheel doesn't fall to bits with all those bumps lol but there's certainly a lot of skill involved in getting that car through the corners around the rest of the track.
lol. Yea, it shakes pretty bad according to my testing. We will actually need to consider setup, since with an oval, as you know, you are competing for .05 instead of .1. Hint: max out the long gears and max out the tire pressure. That should get you 5-8 mph on the oval, which would swallow any road course gains from someone else if their setup is not right.
I remember well how much of a challenge they used to be in the 49 in GPL but it's even more so in the 25 with those tyres giving even less grip and getting the right gear at the right time is paramount. Parabolica is also much tougher, again it's difficult to take too much speed through there and you have to come down the gears to have a chance to get around it.
Amen. It seems to take forever. Sometimes, I'm not turning in, but just *thinking* of turning in and the damn thing spins. lol. It seems like if the over-steer doesn't get you the brakes do, and vice versa. You def. have to brake in a straight line, but who knew the slight kink after T1-2 (modern track) would come into play! I agree, these cars are so different, so fast but slow, and so much fun. It's a whole new way of learning to drive.
What are the settings going to be for this one Rob? Laps, Track Temp, Conditions, Pit stops, etc. We need to give everyone a heads-up asap so they can get to practice in the race conditions.
What I had set out in private. But probably only 15 laps instead of 20 due to the length. I'll post soon. But basically clear, 30 prac, 20 qualy, 15 laps.
