Monza i always struggle at, but maybe i expected more from this car. I guess its still a road car but feels like the 312 has better performance. Do i really have to brake this early down the straights?

take a look at the speed your doing down the straights then have a think about the braking distances, plus the 312 is on slicks which would help slow it down.

hmm, this car felt like playing 'Outrun' back in the 80's/90's...anyone remember it?  Must be the modern supercar factor  Undecided  It just feels so easy to drive, other than the carp brakes, I would have expected a supercar with that much power to be a bit lairy but its on rails most of the lap, except being sloppy through Ascari. You get no sensation of taming a very powerful car, are they really that sanitised these days? I found it very dis-engaging like i'm just turning the wheel and the pc is doing the physics manipulation. Found myself wanting to turn off (or lower) the TC to make it more alive.
1:42's were my staple fast laps. Not sure how these are going to make for a great online race as they appear to need a country mile to get them to stop in time for any of the major braking zones and I can see rear-ending a plenty  Shocked and narked off drivers!

As I quickly bored of driving it, I decided to see how much Ferrari supercars have improved since the 80/90's and took the F40 S3 out. What a difference in feel and immersion! The F40 is totally visceral and demanding and full-filling to drive  Cool It literally makes you feel like your in a vastly improved simulator compared to driving the La Ferrari. Don't get me wrong, I was about 15 secs a lap slower (on 90's slicks) in it (proves how much technology has improved!) but my did it feel awesome and engaging to drive, unlike the point and shoot modern car. Squirting the throttle to engage the turbo, back end stepping out in 3rd halfway round Parabolica, superb!  tt1 I was grinning like a loon  Grin Kunos have done an amazing job simulating this thoroughbred.

I'm with you MJ...

Been spending most of my AC time running the F40 round Spa, it's huge fun compared to the LaFerrari. Hopefully the winner of this race takes the hint Wink

El Marriachi's fmod sounds for the std F40 are very nice too, pity they don't work with the S3.

Just shows you can never please everyone with car/track combos  Roll Eyes I'd originally mapped out the F40 S3 for Monza and the 312T for Imola but I'm sure there would have been some not happy with those.

Personally I think LaFerrari is a good choice and deserves an outing. Drivers are just going to have to be sensible and remember that they won't be able to miraculously brake 10m later than usual when presented with a sniff of a chance into one of the chicanes. You have been warned

My post was more about my personal findings on new v old Ferrari supercars and the difference in feel and engagement you get between the two in AC (and no doubt real life!).
Got no problem with trying to master the LaF at Monza  Smiley, probably the best track for it along with Spa to stretch its considerable legs, just not as fun to drive to me personally. I've found the same in the real world as modern Porsches with all their bells and whistles just don't give me the same fun as my 30yr old car despite boasting 100 extra bhp! They weigh twice as much and are full of electronic gumph  Tongue

You can make them work.

First, copy El Marriachi`s f40 bank file from sfx folder and put it into f40_s3`s sfx folder.

Rename original bank file into something else than use original name (ferrari_f40_s3) for El Marriachi`s bank file.

Than put this into f40_s3`s sfx folder ...

Will try out that sound mod, thanks for the tip. The stock sounds aren't bad with the turbo whistling in but any real sounds are welcome.

Finding this car hard to get my braking correct, it carries so much speed!

I want one in real life!!

deffo better with ABS off but hard to keep the tyres from flat spotting
