So, if you are looking for ways to make this car better, this is the wrong thread š¤£
I went to town on tuning the F3500 to match the liveries, and get a unique feel for the different chassis and power unit combinations. This includes changing the transmission and the exhaust.
All the adjustments are minor, but you can feel the difference. I kept the changes minor so as not to upset the natural balance.
The MP4/7 - Off the top, the base car is, for all intents and purposes, the MP4/7 and I used that as the benchmark for all other alterations. With 1 exception. I added 1 to the ballast and moved it to position 1.
Honda V10 - Swap the transmission to full race. reduce power to 98/99. Alter the diff to 9/19/32
Mugen Honda/Second tier Honda teams - Change the transmission to Sport and set the diff to 9/19/32. Reduce power to 96-97 depending on the team.
Ferrari V12 or V10 - Change the exhaust to full race and change the transmission to full race. Reduce the power to 98% and add 1 to ballast at position 1. I set the diff to 11/21/31
Minardi Lamborghini - I made this unique, because it's an oddball. Race exhaust, sports transmission, power reduced to 750, weight +2 at position 2, diff set to 9/22/31 (makes the car less stable)
Ford V8 Cosworth - Reduce the power to 95%, add the sports transmission. For chassis, if you want it a bit more lively, like a Jordan, set the diff to 9/19/29. For a Minardi (as mentioned above), go for less stability like 9/21/31. I highly recommend only doing 2 steps on any diff setting. Experiment until you get what you like.
Renault V10 - No exhaust change. Racing transmission. reduce power to 96-98 for second tier teams like Ligier. Set the diff to 11/22/32
Everything else - You can mix and match as you like. For instance, I did an Arrows Asiatech as well. I put the race pipes on it so it would scream. Sports transmission. reduced power to 96, and set the diff to 12/18/28.
But hey, try what you like! Try the Ford Cosworth set up and you'll see what I mean. It feels and sounds like a completely different car. Also, if you've found a tweak that works better/is more like the reported behaviour of the car, let's hear it.
A word of caution, dropping power below 95 is really stretching the gap to the cars powered at 100. As a standalone, it's fine, but racing against the others is a challenge. But hey, that might be exactly what you are looking for.
