I love when I can be rough with my wheel on the track, and this one doesn't allow it to me...Well, still control problems. I can handle the car, why you can't? It's a brutal car, so be cautious

Its the opposite for me. I think the handling is terrible. If you want to treat it as some sort of challenge mod then I guess its pretty good but as for simulating an F1 car its extremely poor. The cars are ludicrously fast on the straights even with high downforce and have very low grip especially in low speed corners. Braking distances are too long and the car wants to spin everytime it touches a kerb or a bump on the track. Admittedly this could be fixed by setup changes but I dont have the time to sit around all day tweakingThe handling is some of the best as well. The cars behave in a totally convincing way and the information of what the car is doing even through my low end wheel is really well done.
I've got to agree with your opening sentence, I'm running default setup and they feel very good.There seems to be a real difference of opinion with this mod, to me it feels pretty planted even at low speed. I feel like I know how the car is going to behave in certain circumstances so that means I can concentrate on getting my lap times down. The braking distances seem okay for me.
I had planned on running this and the Formula extreme cars in Game stock car tonight to see how they compare. I will post what I think, as they are trying to do similar things you would hope they are pretty similar.
I am not disagreeing with you at all, it's just strange how feels totally different for the people posting in this thread.
It still feels too bouncy over bumps and curbs (on Nurburgring it's terrible).
Looking at the aero app there's also something weird, the car is always running at a slight negative angle of attack, even though i'm going all out to make the setup lower in the front end.
Top Speed Hanger straight:
FF1 2015 - 193 MPH
F Extreme - 201 MPH
Can you share the link to setup?Are you sure thats correct? I was reaching 210+ mph at Barcelona with fairly high wings.
EDIT: just seen this is without DRS. Maybe the DRS is too powerful then?
After a bit more testing I still think the low speed grip needs to be improved. Note I am not saying it needs to be easier I just think it needs to be "faster" It takes an age to rotate the car at the moment.
EDIT2: Found a setup that improves the car immeasurably. Not sure why the default is so bad
These changes will affect grip, for the better. By having a fraction less grip on power and turning, the car should be interesting to drive. Force-feedback being too high in the first version has been addressed too here.
Changelog v1.1: Tyre compounds should feel different, tyre calculations improved for less grip, minor suspension value change, suspension damage values added, force-feedback improved, new camera positions, lower DRS performance, small change to gear ratios.
