Also Codemasters are making the next formula 1 game, ive heard that its going to be SIM like, but in your opionion what is the best F1 game made.

I do not have a PS3 right now but i will soon. Most likely will get a MGS4 pack.

the current one on PS3, is the best ive ever played, and somehow I dont think codemasters efforts are going to be as good, im just doubtful for some reason. I havent played it in ages, but now that I got a big 47" samsung LSD screen, its gonna get some more playing time. definantly worth buying if your into F1, using the PS3 sixaxis controller as a steering wheel is pretty sweet too.

Well... mr impatient... as long as you have a decent HD tv and HDMI cable it LOOKS absolutely amazing. The sun glare is an amazing effect (especially at Monaco). The sound, if you have surround sound is very very good, not the extent of the graphics, but very good none the less.

The most impressive things are the little things you hardly notice that make up its realism. The pit stops are great fun, as your fully interactive with them, so if you fcuk up, it costs you. The most impressive thing about it is the very responsive controls and drivability.

If you muck around with the cars settings it really does have a massive effect on how the car handles. After a awhile you discover you have a particular driving style and how you want the car to react in corners. If you love the technical side of F1, it’s a geeks paradise. Conversely if you just like honing around, its really good fun too with damage on. Beware, the Mclarens are prone to losing the front wing VERY easily. The Renault... is like god on in car form. Awesome car.

oh and LOL you really do have to watch out for taku... dangerous kent

not that im getting over mine, i do play it on occasion now... im in the midst of GTA right now, so i havent really played it for a while

But it is good to go for a spin to really learn the tracks so that when your watching the race, you know EXACLTY whats going on

      Boost level and torque curve

      As someone who has been playing with turbo things for some time now, be prepared for this to not be the first time feeling this way    I'm busy as atm, but if no one else covers the things I'm realising are worth mentioning to you then I will when I have a chance as it seems like I overestimated your knowledge on how turbos and wastegates work.  Otherwise I recommend having a look around how wastegates and boost control work, really anything on understanding the general mechanism of boost control as it will help you find the answers to the questions you're looking for.  Your initial question jumps some fundamentals.

      we can only guess exactly what happened from our keyboards, but to me it looks like they were targeting 27 but the wastegate was too small or poorly controlled and the boost crept up, that is quite common

      Good points!  Took those for granted - though I *did* actually give an example of winding boost up more than it had been before where I wasn't actually specifically looking for more peak power.  The Toyota Starlet dyno plot that I shared and mentioned showed an overlay from the previous tune it had and the one I'd redone, I left the boost targetting the same as the old tune but then after peak power I ramped boost up by a good 5psi or so over what the old tune had at the same rpm. The reason I felt comfortable with this (though the owner of the car had a "are you sure?" moment when I suggested it) is that the setup wasn't turbo limited, it was largely head sealing limited and the owner was a bit concerned as for the last few seasons he'd had issues with head lifting - sometimes not completing an event without having some headgasket issue, so he didn't want to run any more boost than it was. The reasons I was ok with raising the boost a good 5+psi MORE than that was that I left it where it was in the middle, and only increased it where VE (and therefore cylinder pressure vs psi) were dropping hard and I didn't stop the torque from dropping, just reduced the drop.  Well, there is that and the fact that the previous tuner had it overtimed by near 7degrees at peak torque - but that's another story haha.    I didn't really go into detail about that "turning it up more" thing but now you've mentioned the "not detuning", sometimes the boost *can* be turned up higher than you'd expect if the setup allows for it and you do it smartly.  I've tuned things to run 30psi on BP98 "safely" that a few years ago (or still?) people would cry that it was a stupid idea - but given they were well intercooled, low EMAP turbos and only doing that kind of boost where VE is dropping etc I was pretty confident it wasn't as cowboy as it sounded at face value and we never ended up with issues as a result of it.
