Added a new rule,

* Suspension setting 11/11 is banned from this point onwards until it is corrected on all platforms via an update

If anyone is suspected of using the above suspension setting there time will be removed.

I know it is hard to police something like this but i just hope everyone will be a good sport and not use it

Anyone with G27 playing this game? Default it feels awful, wheels don't seem to turn at all!

I have my hands 90 degrees but in game it is still straight on :s

What is with everyone using traction control! Sissy's! F1 cars don't have traction control!

Best i can manage at the mo is 1.36 something with no assists. Not posting a picture yet as i don't think anyone is not going to believe me on that one! :p

Or ABS. F1 hasn't had ABS since the early 90's. Traction control was dropped after the 2007 season, 4 years ago. Before Codemasters even got the license.

Do F1 drivers drive around with a green and red braking line either? I find it even more amusing that experienced game racers here know all the tracks and they still need the virtual racing line. Then some wheel users still need traction control.
It's one thing learning a track but too many of the experienced gamers still rely on these gimmicks.

What good is a time trial trial thread when there isn't even a level playing field. People playing with whatever they see fit. The exact same reason why the FIA took all the electronic gizmos out so drivers drive under their own skill. You are doing the driving, not the car or game helping you achieve a fast time.

It's the exact same reason why Ferrari Virtual Academy does this so well. You can practice and practice until your heart is content with ABS, TCS, racing line, to learn the track(s) but as soon as you enter time trial, the game forces this all off for a level playing field. It cannot be enabled for time trial.

How can things be fair if anyone does whatever. Strap on some nitros/rocket boosters and call that Dick Dastardly fair. ;)

It's that same reason I've just not been taking part in online races. TCS/ABS has been set to optional, same goes for other camera angles. It's not a level playing field. Plus the suspension cheat.
The only way to prove people never used the suspension cheat is to show a video of the lap, then go straight to the menus/garage and show the setup. Otherwise it's hearsay.

It's not about being bitter it's just far too many gamers find out an exploit and I'll guarantee it, they'll abuse it then deny it with a slagging match. Game forums have been rife with it.

It's better to be beaten by someone with better driving skills, or a better car setup, or both, than being beaten by someone using driver aids of any form or a bigger field of view such as T-cam. If anything goes... well, you know what the outcome will be.

Couldn't agree more, with TC and ABS on you can literally play this game blindfolded steering with your nob, it's no fun, far too easy and so why bother?

I'll start entering this TT's when they fix the corner cutting, setup cheats and removed assisted drivers from the rankings (or the very least separate them out).
 
I have been thinking about banning driver aids but no one will want to take part because the game is just not serious for most people, FVA is aimed at sim racers which is why it is so popular because of the time trials, put multiplayer in the game then you will start to get people moaning/bitching.

FVA was only designed with single player in mind but F12011 was design to a whole different group of racers (consolers $$$$$$$$$$), if i went with no assists there would be very little people taking part, for Korea i will ban assists for that round only as a test... if people like it then it will stick to that, as for policing it i will only allow screen shots from the leaderboard.

That sound ok to anyone?
