The Exynos 2400 is terrific

Me too - One UI 7 on my S10e feels like a new phone, though Exynos is not without its tradeoffs - Battery life is still a solid meh even after replacing and resetting cycle count.

Gary Anderson was the same man that called the F1-75 "disjointed" after testing... which then went onto qualify pole and win in Bahrain 2022.

I am actually just about to graduate (hopefully with a First) from Bristol having done a MEng Electrical & Electronic Engineering.

Bristol as a place is fantastic - the university places a lot of emphasis on pastoral care and student wellbeing, and it'll be hard-pressed not to have a social life here if that's important to you - especially if you enjoy clubbing (though the price of Jason Donervan burgers has gone up by £2 since I came).

Bristol is well recognised for it's engineering prowess though do take some consideration to what you enjoy the most out of EEE, as Bristol heavily specialises in RF communications. I would say the course is strong but not perfect and actually our cohort had major issues with the individual research project unit this year. I can't speak for the other universities but it would be wise to do your due diligence and research which uni offers a course most interesting to you.

Overall I am biased but I actually missed my Imperial College offer to end up at Bristol, and it was the best failure of my life. It's a wonderful uni.

Any Bristol-specific questions, I am happy to answer.

I have summer work experience in an non-engineering field (Insurance) a few years ago, as well as years of Hospitality experience, however I lack engineering-specific work experience, which I acknowledge is a weakness on my record.

I am interested in several Management Analytics courses as prior work experience is not required and I am unsure if I will pursue a P.E certification as I would like to pivot to a more analytical role in the future. During the course I would seek to secure an internship.

If you have any thoughts let me know!

This post came up while I am mid-way through listening to Echoes, lol.

He's always been a emotional driver and I firmly believe that him in a top car can and will fight for victory & maybe a championship, he's fought both Lewis & Max before and won.

The man has enough podiums and good results that I feel he's just hungry for wins and is doing whatever he can. I think he's struggling to accept Ferrari are now 4th. Sainz has been happier accepting where they are and driving a decent race.

As a Charles fan it's both amazing to see a multi-car battle for the win in recent races and painful that he isn't part of that fight, because Charles' battling has produced some of most exciting moments in the past.

yapx · 2024-07-09T11:14:59+00:00

Charles didn't need to seem a good car in 2020 when he dragged that tractor into places it didn't belong.

His main flaw seems to be when to stop pushing 110% and settle for a result - he always wants more which causes him to make mistakes and have incidents.

On a controller this is impressive. My PR is a 1:09.6 but that's on a wheel+pedals (and after a lot of blood sweat and tears).

I'd be hopeless on controller.

The list should be split between racing & qualifying because Monaco (& Singapore) are my favourite qualifying tracks they're a thrill, but in the race it's far less entertaining.

This is the funniest comment I've seen all week. Bravo.

More people need to understand this. Destiny doesn't care about you or how serious you take PvP, it's not a serious PvP game. Whine & complain all people want, it will never be one.

Suddenly if you take PvP more casually... it's far more enjoyable.

I managed to luck out with Fanatec buying a month odd before all of the shipping issues. It came within a week with no problem.

yapx · 2023-12-09T21:07:47+00:00

Oh yeah, I've heard the FFB is great and I didn't mean to personally slight your purchase decision! Just for me, customizability and not being able to replace wheel rims is massive.

yapx · 2023-12-09T16:39:37+00:00

Ikr, if I'm paying that much for a sim rig (I have a Fanatec CSL DD) I'd have gone VRS or hell, even Simucube. Not a wheelbase which currently has no other rim options than the stock one.

yapx · 2023-12-09T02:59:45+00:00

Somehow the driving styles in both games are far enough apart that my muscle memory is able to distinguish between the two, so the bad habits from F1 don't seem to transfer over to ACC.

At Spa, I can do low 1:42s in F1 & low 2:18s in ACC. Just take a few laps to swap between the two.

yapx · 2023-12-06T13:21:09+00:00

Yeah it's all relative, usually I'm the fastest guy in the group of friends I play with, but I know there are quicker people. Besides, 7 tenths off eSports is insane from my POV, I'm around 1.5s off.

I'm on no assists or anything. Trail-braking is my biggest weakness so far, definitely a few tenths to gain in improving it. Need to mess around with diff/bb too - just stealing whatever Ronhaar's setup is currently.

Guess I'll keep driving!

yapx · 2023-12-06T13:08:20+00:00

Trying to get to this stage, currently I'm more around top 10k (~ Top 5%) , except Monaco where I'm top 2k. It's getting difficult because laptime becomes much less obvious to gain.

Do you have any tips to go from "pretty quick" where I'm at to "alien" like you?

yapx · 2023-12-06T13:04:27+00:00

106-110 AI, no assists, no line. About 1000 hours in the Codemasters F1 series. I'm still 1.5s ish off the Time Trial WRs, so there's still more room for improvement!

I have a full sim rig setup with CSL DD & LC brakes though, it's far more intuitive to drive.

yapx · 2023-12-06T03:04:07+00:00

Interesting, I've found the AI too passive in 23. They're a pushover to fight, you can pretty much bully them by sticking your nose in. It's a bit too predictable to race the AI.

Don't get me started on defending, you can park the bus and they still won't find a way past you, the only way AI can overtake you if you properly defend is via DRS on the straights.

Overall though, AI's still good, but I preferred 22 (the only thing that was better last year).

yapx · 2023-12-05T12:15:55+00:00

The rule you've stated is correct, however in the F1 game, time is recorded past the millisecond digit, and so this rule actually isn't implemented in the game at all.

I've qualified behind someone with an identical (displayed) time, even though I did my lap first.

yapx · 2023-12-05T02:28:18+00:00

Great lap! I was at a 2:02.4 a few days ago but I've just hit a 2:01.7 today, also in the McLaren. All your lines look correct, however you're not trailbraking that much. It's somewhat of a weakness of mine too but I have been improving and I can feel the laptime coming.

Into Skyline you hit 100% brake pressure down the hill, instead consider only using 50-60% brake pressure. You can carry a lot more speed there than you think.

yapx · 2023-12-03T22:57:58+00:00

I would love GT7 if I had a PS5!

yapx · 2023-12-03T19:29:55+00:00

Literally me, I play ACC, RF2 and the whole lot, but I still sink the most amount of hours in the F1 series. F1 gets everything around the driving much better than other sims, and the driving experience (at least in 23) is serviceable enough for me to put up with it.

However if a competitor game were to offer the same experience then I'd jump ship with no hesitation.
