As I said to Max D, I never knew that was being implemented but yip... I shoulda thought it.
I do like this car mate, very much indeed. First impressions for me have been very good. It really does feel fantastic imo and I`ve only done about 40 odd laps so far...
Hope you get your wheel soon so you can get back into some serious driving.

This car is brilliant, as mentioned the sounds were disappointing, I was hoping for something new. But the driving is fantastic, love flinging it around Sebring. The cockpit view is very good.
I would love to lap, postion, etc on the steering wheel, if they could make it scrollable between the modes that would be kabonimasooney.

You need build 156 or higher to use the car effectively, the new engine brake map is incompatible with older builds.
Don't like it one bit. The thing lifts wheels like a Clio. Did I get a different build or something? Also, could someone explain this behavior? This is something I've felt in every car here in rf2 except the historics - they drive like they have three wheels. This car just confirmed my thoughts.
And yes, this is on 156. Brakes are overly sensitive to the point of being more useful with super low pressures, such as 60% pressure. I dunno, it feels very unnatural to me that tires lock with as little as 10% force applied. It's a weird system, it's not as linear as I'm used to, even a little is hugely alot, and more is way too much, rather than actually progressive and linear like it should be.
5 percent pressure gets 50 percent braking - that is how it feels. The rest of the travel is the last 50 percent braking power. Am I missing a setting here?
But, it does actually look passable! I also really like the feel it has under power. Corrections feel and look like they should. The brakes though are just... very odd.

1. The 2007 until I believe 2012 Maclaren used to lift it's inside front wheel all the time, especially with Hamilton.
2. Cars have been lifting there inside fronts at turn 2 at Sepang since they started going there 14 years ago (1999).
The issue isn't lifting the tires, though it is slightly odd it isnt completely uncommon (well, it's highly odd in a 130 MPH corner with a high downforce setup...). Watch how the tires react without any brakes applied. They stop, and rather quickly. The only way they get back rolling is on the bumps, and then they stop promptly again.
Turn 2 isn't so much a lifted wheel, its an elevation change as well.
It isn't just Sepang, it's any long high load corner that it will do this.

It might be due to very high friction torque for front wheels.

What can I say... Car looks fantastic, and tires looks very realistic. But how it drives? Well, I understand why they are not a top F1 team, so to speakBut I think it could be fun to drive if not:
But I cannot understand what's up with ALL ISI's modern openwheelers and brakes locking (especially when track is green and tires cold). First time I got out of pit with this car at malaysia, I headed for first corner at medium speed and was thinking Now I'm gonna brake eeextremely easy because this car will surely lock tires easily. Because I use Trackmap plugin I can see how much throttle and brake I'm applying. And I'm trying to brake easy for first corner and look at the brake "indicator", and see that I'm not using more than 10-20% of the pedal when the brakes are locking up and tires creating a big cloud of smoke! I try again at very low speed to apply 10% brake, and the tires are locking up again (I'm talking about less than 50 km/h...). I had even decreased brake pressure to 92%.
I don't get itIt's the same thing with all the open wheelers for me, and have beens since day 1. It's getting much better when track gets rubbered but still... And I have NO problem with 60's F1, Corvette, Nissans etc etc. Only the modern openwheelers. Why? I'm using G27 (but it should not matter, because I have no problem with other cars, as I said).
But thanks for the car anyway
You have pretty high brake pressure... I'm usually using max. 85. But then again, I suck with most open wheelers

Braking wise, since I got the GTEYE brake spring mod for my g25 its given me much better control over braking. At 100% brake pressure I can easily avoid lockups using this car.
Still haven't squared off a tyre yet like another guy said earlier, maybe I will try that next time deliberately.

Nope, this one is rather OK, so...
... if that is easy to reproduce, can you share your setup for the car and maybe record another video like the above one, but with your input (especially brakes) shown there too?
I've yet to drive the car but I am very dissapointed that the dash is completely wrong. The color and operation of the dash lights is completely incorrect and not at all the same as a real F1 car.
I'm not sure if this is due to the information not being available, or licensing issues with the PCU supplier, but Tim if you would like to resolve either of these problems then drop me an email.

By default, you have super-softs.
Also, keep in mind that these tires were designed to wear quickly, to make F1 more interesting. If you recall, some drivers were complaining a bit, that they don't really go as fast as they want to, because they need to look after tires.
At first it also struck me - but then I thought it's actually ok and it's just me that's not used to it.
When I was making a lot of mistakes, locking, spinning - I ended up with half of tires gone after just 3-4 laps. Then I've learned to drive "properly" (more less
) and I could do 10-12 laps using 30-40% of these super-softs.That sounds ok, because in reality, drivers were using first set of tires for 15-20 laps or so ( sometimes even less ).
They had to learn to look after tires and so will we.
