Few more things. FF feels stronger for me in this version. It just kicks with gear changes for example.

Two questions:

(1) Anyone knows idiot proof guide to F1 developers menu? Especially FF section. Would like to play with it a bit
(2) What Windows settings do you guys use for G27?

I really like potential this FF represents. After my misery with FF in F12011 I just love it.

FFB, graphics and sounds are 3 things that give me fantastic immersion when driving these cars.

lol, no. Stuff in there seems only for people with IQ of a whole nation. I usually just fiddle with numbers until the game crashes



Not in front of my gaming PC at the moment but i didn't change any windows/logitech setup. I dropped the ingame FF to 50, deadzones, speed sensitive FOV, and speed sensitivity to 0. World movement on 100 (=no car movement)

Feels decent to me. I could probably make it better by tweaking the windows settings but i'm not fiddling with them until the FF/controller code is finalized.

On the subject of developer menu, some of the guys have been working on new lighting profiles. Check out these screenies (ingame shots, DX9)

Build 78 (24/10/11, Team Member+)
Toned down heat haze
Added a few more options to visuals menu
Added gamepad filtering option
Added cloudy weather selection to race menu
Fix for DX9 windscreen corruption bug
Fix for groundcover crash
Updated Glencairn track
Updated Racer car
Improved lighting settings for most tracks
Fixes to car setup menu (still lots of bugs)
Change audio balance to bring out more wind noise
Version number added to UI
Various UI fixes and improvements
Updated kart
Fixed direction of driver head lean in corners
Enabled fuel consumption and tyre wear
Added free camera (Ctrl-F then the mouse and WASD, SHIFT keys)

The release notes above say "Updated kart" and "Updated Glencairn track". To me the new build adds those two items. I wonder if it's an update to those from an in-between build, somewhere between 75 and 77, that members didn't see? It also adds access to a Setups menu, and additional settings under the Visuals menu.

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS:
Ctrl-I: AI control of player car.
Ctrl-T: switch to trackside cameras.
[ ]: decrease/increase FOV.
F1: display developer menu.
Ctrl-P: cycle to next post processing filter.
Ctrl-Shift-P: switch post processing filters off.
Ctrl-F: free camera.

For some reason, I'm not seeing a link to the 78 build.

Thanks, Papa....I was always finding it on the Forum page and didn't see it there this time.

downloading now

I can see that new build is some 300mb bigger install than the one before

EDIT: steer lag still there, I am starting too loose hope in SMS again :-(

I pickedthis up a couple of days ago.. beautiful looking racer and currently seems pitched somewhere between Shift and rFactor in terms of feel to me.. not quite a sim and not quite a game. However as it is so early in it's development life i am interested in seeing which way it goes.

I am having some issues with my Fanatec setup though which i am having trouble pinning down.. the cars feel pretty unresponsive and i am also getting a lot of "see-saw" in my wheel which adding deadzone doesnt sort out. Does anyone have some base settings for the Fanatec wheels that they would care to share?

iRacing week 13 effectively means no racing for me, so I picked up the 10euro build for interest.
Wow...just Wow!
Cheers
