Nah, I've warmed to the game, and I'm keen to race in the league.
I'm also keen to sit tight and put up with the regulations. I actually thought I was doing a public service by highlighting a number of important threads I'd found outlining a few things. I thought that proclaiming 'The cynic is back, delivering the regular reminder that this game is a simcade' would be a funny joke, but clearly, people are getting rubbed the wrong way unnecessarily. The fact of the matter is, traction control has the same impact on the racing as Skid Recovery Force, and everyone here except
@cruciald00dz and me seem to be okay with that. I'm also okay with that, as long as everyone knows what the regulations stipulate. Driving with traction control irrevocably changes pace and tyre wear for the better. Drivers using a pad also have different physics values, very akin to SRF. The cars are NOT equal, and I wish that I had chosen the Mercedes now. Some setups break the laws of physics, and that's an unfortunate consequence of the game currently.
I thought that raising the alarm to these issues would be of service, but clearly, everyone seems to be fine with putting their heads in the sand and singing 'kumbayah'.
I'm fine with being a villain sometimes if it gets people actually considering things instead of being completely dismissive or stubborn. I've tried my hardest, but noone seems to be interested in the limitations that have been ever present more than 6 years ago. Codies have continually dropped the ball on these issues for leagues on their F1 titles, but the internet and players are praising F1 2016 as a 'second coming', yet the physics and gameplay are fundamentally identical to F1 2015, and the engine is identical to F1 2010.
Any talk of this league becoming a tentpole Sunday league is misguided when we're racing with the crutch that is traction control (akin to the Skid Recovery Force in terms of value).
I'm fine with this as long as everyone understands. I'm looking forward to racing some F1 again!
