yeah, over saturation doesn't make it look better. although currently they ore a bit under saturated. I've done a quick tweak to one of my screens in PS, and a slight change in saturation makes it look a lot nicer, but not cortoony

Original
Saturation Tweak

EDIT: Although that original looks a lot less saturated as a screen than it does in game...

Does your tweak work on all tracks mate? if so can up it somewhere please..looks great to me :)

I haven't been able to get it to work in-game at all, even on the longest straights no matter how close to the car in front.

And F1 cars do benefit from slip-streaming lol? That's pretty much the technique any f1 driver will use on a straight to overtake or get alongside his opponent. Don't know what F1 you're watching.

Some maths for you,

For some distance behind a high drag car, such as an open wheeled Formula car, the drag of a following car is reduced. This can be of the order of 30% reduction at 25 metres distance, and depends on the aerodynamic details of the two cars. This reduction in drag means that less power is needed to maintain the top speed and enables the car to accelerate (around 0.2g for a 450bhp car of the late �60's), even though it may be travelling at it's clean air top speed. If the driver accelerates from some 50 metres back behind the car in front, while in it's slipstream (drivers claim that they can feel the effect up to 100 metres behind), he will be travelling around 5 kph faster when he comes right up behind it. Popping out of the slipstream now enables him to use this speed advantage to overtake, but he will still use over 0.25 km to draw alongside and hopefully claim the next corner. Fast corners leading onto long straights were ideal for this manoeuvre.

So sometimes slip-stream effects are felt up to 100m behind. I'd, personally, say thats quite a distance.

Ok, jesus i said i was no F1 Guru.... Here is what i was trying to explain from an F1 website...

Here’s the problem: modern Formula 1 cars rely on large amounts of aerodynamic grip to keep cars on the track whilst cornering. This manipulates the air around the car dramatically, leaving it disturbed and less effective for cars directly behind to use. When air is disturbed in this fashion it is referred to as ‘dirty air’. The problem that dirty air causes is that chasing cars can’t get close to overtake as their aerodynamic grip is compromised. The result is a general lack of overtaking during races.

Moogleys. On a straight, the slip streaming effect allows a slower car behind, to actually go faster than a faster car in front.

Around corners slip-streaming becomes a problem and works against the car which is behind, as the car loses aerodynamic down-force.

I know i shouldnt have let him but he was really winding me up. I find it so irritating when people blatantly lie about their pc's performance in games. It makes it so hard for people to genuinely see if their pc is performing correctly.
 
cant beleave how hard this game is to get hold of, been round all the shops and not one had a copy in. could dl it off steam but im not sure about not having a solid copy and ive never dont it before on steam so im not sure what you do.

out of curiosity how many of you have got it off steam.


Its driving me mad seeing screen shots of it on here and not been able to play it yet
 
Just stuck the lighting mod on Melbourne ... :eek::eek: WOW!! ... ok it needs to be turned down a little but oh my does it make the track pop.
This is a must have for me, it really bring the track alive and shows off the shadows of the trees. Beautiful mod, just needs to add the other tracks.
I will definitely be keeping an eye on this.

I must say for all this games faults fake Ai etc, It is extremely satisfying when you get it all right and Win by the skin of your teeth.....

Not many games do that these days.
