I was hotlapping Skyline GT-R on RaceRoom with mechanical damage enabled. A few laps with sequential shifter and the transmission breaks. Is the tranny damage model a bit too sensitive or am I just incompetent? How do I properly change gears with sequential box?

Nah, most of the issues have been patched at this point and they made season mode sessions custom as well so you're not forced to a 40 minute race because you want a decent length practice session. Though apparently Fanatec CSW owners are throwing a shitfit because the latest patch broke some of their settings.

Is F1 2015 any good? I have 2012 and 2013 and they were kinda fun, but after you've played Project Cars or iRacing (or poo poo, even Dirt 3 enough) you come back to the Codemasters F1 games and they're arcadey crap in comparison.

Is it still like that?

Are online races just ridiculous smash-fests still? It's F1.. nothing breaks the illusion more than F1 cars driving like stock cars.

I think it's pretty fun. It's not as deep of a simulation as project cars but it's got all of the F1 strategy elements and all the tracks for the season. I like that actually knowing some nuances of track layouts in the game makes watching the real life sessions more enjoyable for me.

I usually do a qualifying and full length race session for each gp in the days leading up to the real life race weekend.

AC 1.2: I didn't really like the GT86 until I took it on the ring, for all the talk of how tailhappy it is I just didn't find any oversteer except at really high speed. Zandvoort is nice.

I ended up spending more time in Spintires, however, since it was on sale for 7.50. Lots of fun, but the lack of a cockpit camera is baffling, and using the G27 with strange off-center chase cam is also weird.

Oh yeah, I've done this with mates for years. I think I even did it in the 90s with some of the earlier games.

Now, the graphics are so good and the replay options will show the replays shot from the same camera positions on the real track coverage. Learning the track to the point you can compete in the game makes watching a GP a totally different experience. From just a glance at the TV you know exactly where a driver is on the track and that context gives you insight to enjoy it. When you see someone taking a wide line or doing something 'crazy', you say holy poo poo based on your experience while to someone else doesn't see any of that detail.

Also with modern F1 coverage it gives you some idea of just how loving nuts F1 really is.

Spending a few hours lapping at Spa, even in an arcadey game gives you a whole new appreciation for Lewis leaning into Eau Rouge in the wet at 300kph :)

You're right. I still really don't have a problem with it, we know who the target market for this segment really is. But it would be easy to maintain the humor and just remove the cringy bit.

Great race last week, eh Dudley? The mental image of Seb wheel to wheel into corner one with Lewis wont' be leaving my memory anytime soon :)

That is exactly why it's a problem. Just because your position of privilege affords you to not have a problem doesn't mean it doesn't exist — quite the opposite.

It's an infantile wordplay that trips over itself and forgets to do what it's supposed to do: create excitement about the actual product.
