F1 Simulation on PC
Hey guys. The other day I was at Killarney and came across an F1 simulator. You know, with steering wheel and pedals, the real deal (ALMOST!). I asked the guys managing it what he used, and he said he used the 2008 F1 official game on PS3. Are there any Simulation games that i can buy on PC, i dont have a Sony or XBOX. I want simulation, something as close to the real thing as I can get. After playing on the simulator i am now hooked.
Thanks
Steve

As far as I know there is no 08 official F1 game out for the PS3 or any other console or PC. The last official F1 game was F1 CE for the PS3 that came out in 2007 and is based on the 2006 season.
If the game you played was Sony's F1 CE then that game is far from a simulation. maybe you were fooled by the steering wheel and pedals but that's an arcade game and far from the real deal.
You can get either rFactor or F1 CC99-02 and download one of the 2008 updates available. those are the best available options for F1 sims.I got my motorcycle jacket, but I'm walking all the time...

no that was defintely a simulation, i know the diff between a arcade and a sim. The braphics looked like the real thing, it was just amazing how something could be so accurate.

rfactor seems to be the leading PC sim right now... you should be able to get all the F1 cars & tracks, I'm guessing.

It may have been the 2007 Ferrari F1 car from GT5 Prologue PS3.....on pro mode it is very difficult & very realistic in terms of physics.

I think what you downloaded was a stand alone mod for F1C 99-02

You can get a lot of free mods for rF at http://www.rfactorcentral.com.
I think you're right about rFactor being the best for PC's right now. I love that sim.
Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
