Hmm, I can't find anything to actually turn of view movement when cornering and stuff, only options for corner anticipation etc (which I have off).

Anyway here's a fairly tidy lap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI43XCyO7RE

Quote from: PiBoSo on December 06, 2010, 02:57:13 PMAs a reference, in real life KF1 are around 43.0, KF3 44.5 and KZ1 42.0. A direct comparison with simulator is difficult, though.

What exactly is annoying about head movement? Left-right movement or forward - backward?

Oh OK, if the times are like than then it's near spot on. :)

Regarding the movement, it's mostly the left-right movement which annoys me. I know some people like that effect, but I find it disconnects me from the kart a bit.

Quote from: Shawn Campbell on December 06, 2010, 07:02:42 AM-The kart has a bit too much initial understeer and exit oversteer when coming out of the corner.  I've tried some stuff in the garage to fix it, and I definitely made it better, however, I think the way the steering comes into the corner feels like it washes out easily.

Reduce castor and, though you end up with more understeer overall and less grip, it's easier to drive generally, especially on corner exit.

My thoughts. This is fantastic. Amazing what one developer can achieve. The fundamentals feel great, and it's hands down the best feeling kart sim I've tried (not that there's much competition in this area of sim racing but still!).

Few points though:
- Feels to me like the slick tyres overall have a little too much grip in the dry. I've seen people do 43's already, and I can easily see how that's possible, but isn't that a couple of seconds faster than what's ran in real life?
- Wet tyres feel a fair bit too grippy to me too in the Wet. The slick tyres in the wet are pretty much spot on, i.e. there's none. :DDD
- FFB. Overall feels pretty good, but seems to go very light when cornering at high speed, which doesn't seem right to me.
- Can I turn off the view movement when driving? Especially the horizontal movement, I'm finding fairly annoying at the moment.
