F1 2010 |OT| The 12th Annual Hermann Tilke Championship
- Thread starter Goldrusher
- Start date
playing on PC with keyboard easy mode 20% race. Man they sorta blew the easy mode handholding on section 2 It simply would not let me accelrate thru those easy short turns in career mode with the HRT. So I finished last first race blues getting use to game pit stop bug. Hated this track hated this race.
goto Australia I qualified 4th in the rain, Finished 17th pit stop bug and 10 second penality for causing collision. So either the handholding for easy mode was eased up but i luved this race and this track. Or I'm not sure how much it mattered but the HRT was much better. Oh the actual race was dry not rainy like practice and qualifying was. I pitted in 4th place came out in 22nd ended up 15th after others did their pit stops.
Heh, I caused collision with Kubica, and then later on I totally busted Hamilton's front wing on the back of my car no penalty for that one.

Mirroring the sentiments here. Melbourne is an absolute joy to race in, especially after the drudgery of Bahrain. I think Bahrain has its moments but S2 feels like it shouldn't be in F1.
edit: Also, playing with the G25 has made me wish logitech put some more buttons on the wheel itself, or at least stuck a dpad on there. It's kind of hard to adjust things like the front wing on the fly when you need to take one hand off the wheel to do it.

Played "Grand Prix" mode earlier online. Was good fun. Of course there were some dickheads who were trying their best to grief people during qualifying (deliberatly trying to crash at the start/finish line) but they got bored eventually and quit out.
I said earlier in the thread that Monaco would be a bad circuit online to race and in the 2 races i have had i was right. Just a complete clusterfuck when 12 cars all go into that first corner :lol

Yeah, turns 7 to 15 are a nightmare. I remember playing the the PS3 2006 version and it was a much nicer track to drive on before they chewed it up.
Oh god, Sakhir, I am glad to see the back of that track.Animal said:
Anyway, something tells me the difficulty of the AI is all over the place. During practice, I was struggling to get into the top 20 (I am driving as a Virgin Racing team member after all) and if I am honest, I was expecting that considering I had the game set to hard (so AI at Professional, not Legend).
Then, I decide to try to use the Option tyres in P3, what a difference that made! The car suddenly became so much easier to drive and I was in the top 10 (8th in fact) at the end of the session. Of course, driving a Virgin that shouldn't happen, so I fully expected to be destroyed in qualifying, oh dear.
In Q1 I decided to try to stick with the Prime tyres, and my first lap ended me 17th, on the bubble. I skipped ahead a bit and got knocked down to 18th so I had to go again. Sticking with the Prime tyre, I went out and from nowhere produced a bonsai lap, I ended the session in 3rd! Still, I wondered if the AI acted like in real life, saving their tyres for Q2/Q3, wrong again. I set out in Q2 with a set of Primes and crashed into a wall, oops. Returning to the pits, I went for the Option tyre and landed my Virgin car on Pole in Q2.
I didn't have as much luck in Q3, the likes of Button, Hamilton and Liuzzi (!) beat me into 4th but I was more than shocked with the result, then everything went wrong.
While qualifying was a bit easy considering the team I was in (I dare not think how much faster I would have been in an RBR, Ferrari or McLaren, the race was a farce. Within the end up the first lap I was 1st (I didn't mean to knock Hamilton out, honest!) and without even trying I waltzed off into the distance.
The only thing that stopped me from winning by more is because I pitted at lap 3, hardly anyone else did and I got caught in traffic, holding me up as overtakes are not easy in this game, much harder than in the SCEE Liverpool F1 games and far more realistic in that regard. Still, the fact that the AI seems to lose the ability to drive (even on pro difficulty) in the races is slightly worrying.
Of course that was possibly my worst track, which doesn't bode well for the next one; my favourite, Albert park. Maybe I should just hit the AI to Legend and see what happens.
Oh, it's a fantastic re-creation, the bastards. I hate the track with a passion. It was bad enough before but the karting bit in sector 2? Fucking hell is that a royal pain to navigate.Haunted said:

Once you select the track I think you can hover over its icon and select again to choose weather conditions.

I also noticed the Sakhir track in the game has Schumacher's old lap record, which would be impossible to beat now. The offical site has the updated record, which looks far more realistic. :lol

They are going to return to the old layout next year.

They clearly need to tune the AI in the patch because it's too easy in my opinion. It's much harder in grand prix mode than it is in career mode, so I believe something went wrong. "Codemasters" :lol

Dammit, I hope they patch it in.
I also hope they patch Nick Heidfeld back in now that he's back with BMW. I miss Quick Nick. :lol

That's a shame. An F1 game could really benefit from patches and DLC, even if they charged for it. But I guess we'll be seeing static full releases instead.

It seems that "MyF1" option disappears once you finish Bahrein and then appears "Results". Anyway you can go in the truck to the race option ( the name of the circuit ) and there you have "options". If you scroll down you will find the options you wanted. The first time i didn´t realize you could scroll down.

No variants. I do wish they would put classic tracks in, at least for time trial and quick races.
codemasters needs to realise that when a car runs into you, its not your fault and you should not be penalised, twice on monaco this happened and i just lost it and got black flagged after ramming everyone off (after trying to drive properly and getting pinged for other cars hitting me)
the flags in the game are tough sometimes
still, absolutely loving it, especially Career mode.

IT ISN'T FAIR. I drove to my first pole in Sepang, I was super excited, I was going to have a legitimate challenge winning my first race! I pit early but Button (2nd) went in with me and took over 1st (slow pit crew) no biggie, I can race after him. I did and took over the lead yet again.
Now, I had waited while racing on my primes for everyone else to pit so I could reclaim my 1st position. The only problem was, Trulli had not. I figured, oh well he must be on the prime tire to begin with so he'll go on much longer. Then the 8th lap comes around, then the 9th, 10th...11th!? WTF!?
The fucker never went into the god damn pits!! From the looks of it, neither did Kobayashi or Barrichello. Did I miss something here?!
edit: I do remember there was a spin out or crash or something during the race, which could explain how Button and the like are so far behind. That doesn't explain Trulli or Kobayashi though.

Sorry if this has been asked in the thread (it isn't in the op I don't think) but on the 360 version what is the FPS? 30 is fine by me but hopefully there are no drops.
Choc said:any one else really disappointed that the qualifying is not the system they have today
the knockout system is really good
so sick of selecting 'flying lap' and nbeing placed in traffic by the game on that
Select 'Long Race Weekend' format to get the full qualifying system.
Also, AcidMeat: that sounds like a bug.

I am jealous. F1 2010 on Steam has yet to unlock. Fuck it, I'm going to bed.
I like Steam in general. But their release system is utter shite.
