12:56 – from a UK viewer, apology accepted! Although initially I must admit I cringed at “Catter-ham”, you get bonus points for not only correcting the “cate” pronunciation, but also for correctly dropping the ‘h’ from “ham”.

Need to say that, the LX car in LFS is actually more of a Westfield than a Caterham.
The main difference is about the rear suspension. Westfield is double wishbone as the one in LFS. Also the interior in lfs is exactly the same as the westfield one.

i’m guessing you don’t know much about f1 cars.theres no tyre squeal ’cause tyre squeal is caused when the wheels are slightly locked or there is some understeer which is a big no no in f1 and yes they do lock lock wheels sometimes in the real world but the rubber is not as hard as the slightly ordinary tyres used the lower calsses of racing to cause a squeal.

@iluvworldofwarcraft, F1CE did/does have multiplayer online, but the North American servers are shut down. I’ve read on GT Planet that if you can get a European copy of the game, you can still play online against others because those servers are still very much alive. By the time I get any good at this game offline though, I expect that F1 2010 from Codemasters will be out, so the missing online doesn’t bother me much.

@simracingtonight – I’ve mounted a Buttkicker Gamer to the back of my Bob Earl VRC seat, and it works great; better than clamping to any part of the frame. I used a 3″ length of copper pipe, some fender washers and a long bolt to create a cylindrical mount point very low on the seat – pretty much at butt level, which seems appropriate. ;-) I put photos here, if interested: gtplanet(dot)net/forum/showpost.php?p=3797453&postcount=11 Thanks for your reviews, guys!

@akaTRENT Thats one of the only problems with the Gamer, it’s clamp is made for a desk chair. You made need to fabricate something or mount it right to the seat. You can take the shaker off of the clamp and mount it direct to something.

Hope that helps and good job on your reviews..

Re. the Buttkicker 2:
Physical feedback hooked into game audio? hmmmm… Well, if it were hooked into the game physics, I’d consider it. I got ears already.
I think I’d spend my money first on a good pedal set with load-cell brake.

All comments are approved now unless you are a friend of the channel. We got tired of the spam and crap people were posting, so we only let “on topic” comments, or friends comments remain.

Become a friend and you can post all you want, unmoderated ;-)

@unpeacekeeper Do you think Shaun was deep into a serious race, or just sat down so we can get some footage? It was the latter..

If you’d like to take me up on my offer to meet on track and settle this like racers, let me know..Im defending the fact that we can drive and am tired of people commenting on our ability to drive by what they see in a review. If you raced me and I did that, then you can talk..

Also did you see me driving like that when I was on camera ?

@simracingtonight more than what GSXRMark99 has referred to. Also 7:48 to 8:02. You can tell that was Shaun’s head. And he tried to brake, and he hit the car in front so don’t tell me you are trying to show off all aspects. It was not deliberate. Just admit mistakes happen and move on – we all make racing mistakes. Your biggest mistake was arguing against clear evidence to the contrary – very unprofessional.

Written By unpeacekeeper on July 7th, 2010 @ 9:41 AM

@simracingtonight so by your logic a sim should be unrealistic(sound wise) to be good, while a sim that tries to be realistic in this department is bad.

that’s the only complaint i have.

@simracingtonight He’s probably referring from 7:00 to 7:23. You nailed 1 car, hit the wall 2x, and went waaay off track!!! maybe Jessica was playing? LOL!

f1ce is lacking force feedback and there is no way i can download a patch since the server is shutdown already. bought the game mid of last year and very dissapointed. 0 out of 10.

Learn to drive ?? Anytime you’d like to meet either one of us on the racing title of your choice, let us know and we’ll be happy to school you..

Compared to newer titles F1CE didn’t stack up.

No F1 cars tires don’t squeel.. BUT.. can you feel the car under you ?? As a sim racer, those sounds need to be over done so that we can use the sound to help control the car. Eyes are fine smart ass.. We drive every sim there is and this one isn’t as good with depth. Have you tried them all ?

#22 
Written By simracingtonight on July 7th, 2010 @ 12:20 PM

Not a good review on the F1 CE game. Lack of tire squeal complain? Find me a video where there is tire squeal even upon lockup. The engine is so loud it can not be heard, and the tires are so grippy

Elevation inaccuracies in the F1 tracks? Can you name them? Stop making them up.

Graphics – remember this is an old game. You cant see the braking points? get your eyes checked, or remember that it is an F1 car. It is so low to the ground.

And learn to drive? Stop hitting every one.

@farid439 are more worse than this? I might help learning proper english before trying to insult us. And does it really fucking matter? The man broke his back. show so god damn respect. Fuckin’ elitist Europeans. Scratch that, take it back, Mr. Conway is from England. Wanna know why he came to the U.S. to race? Because he actually wanted to race, not play follow the leader in some F1 bullshit. Sorry…was all of that too hard for your translator and your shitty english? Grow the fuck up an GTFO

Im a F1 fan but if you put F1 drivers wheel to wheel like these guys are you’d be lucky if 2 of them finished. Its a different sport completely. That comment about the dildo was fucking funny tho :)

Indy500 is for faggots who are to stupid to drive around corners. That is so homosexual. I even saw a dildo inside a car when a driver stepped out of it.
