I need me a wheel, My thumb is killing from playing this game with the pad.

It's starting to just feel wrong :/

Are you able to change the button configuration?

I would like to use the R2/L2 buttons for accel/braking on PS3 as holding X does kill my thumb :o
(or are they those buttons as standard?)
Just wondering as I'll be getting it tomorrow.
 
So who here has a ps3 and is experiencing tearing?

I wanted to play this game on my PS3 (G27 and pedals etc. arrived today) and the game will come tomorrow.

I hate screen tearing though, I'm kinda kicking myself here I guess because I've got an i7 930 CPU, Gigabyte X58A UD3R mobo, 6gb Corsair XMS1600 RAM BUT........ the crappiest pci gfx card on the planet, 4550 or something...

I'm thinking if the tearing is that bad, which I notice with Dirt 2 sometimes, then I could just get the game on my PC but then that means forking out another £200 for a decent graphics card (ffs)

Please someone tell me you've got the PS3 and experienced no tearing problems! :)
 
Surprised mine had arrived today as well.

Only got to play about 50 mins at Bahrain career mode.
must have gone off track 237 times but early messing around with wheel settings and trying to get used to the game and this track.

Quite impressed with the game so far, concerned with a few things as well. Although still to fine tune the feel with the Fanatec wheel. Cant say tearing for me was a major issue on a iiyama 2407 PS3 version. Maybe Im less prone to it though.

As late played with headphones (Sony 7.1 cordless) found the general audio pleasing and sense of speed in the game is nice. Exciting game to play and thats a good early indicator the game will be entertaining.

Wouldn't drop £200+ on a GFX card for one game. Screen tearing isn't bad during races, but when you pit and exit the pits etc and when the ontrack action gets a bit crowded - you'll notice it.

I too hate the screen tearing, i'm lucky in that I've got a fairly powerful laptop /desktop and both of these machines spank it and i can play at 1920 x 1080 with ultra details, TBH I reckon Dirt 2 has better graphics..

Something just feels a tad off with this one. The game is fine as a whole, just can't put my finger on what is missing..
 
I hated Bahrain, Shame the F1 season this year started there. It would have been nicer if the game could have started at Melbourne as I got a real good feeling for that track from the off.

:)
 
I'm hearing all about this tearing issue i've looked on you tube for a decent example maybe i'm blind or old or maybe both, but i can't see the differnece between ps3/360/pc anyone want to post a good link showing it doesn't have to be with f1 2010 game

Just started again, with Lotus this time... 7 years, as usual. Not going to play until I find a wheel tomorrow! It is driving me up the wall lol.

I was doing GREAT yesterday, but today I just seem to have farted out 3 seconds on each track and can't catch them back!

Recommend you perhaps play the Grand Prix mode through first to get a feel for F1 games in general.*

Should be ok with a gamepad. might need to use auto gears and ABS with full traction control, a pad really would be tricky with gears and no traction control you'll skid off all over in this game..

I've just completed Bahrain in a Lotus and qualified on professional in 13th - but only managed 16th in the race. I got totally owned ontrack and I started to really try and throw the car around after the pit stop... Which, BTW really does screw you..

I am going to select my own pit strategy from now onwards. I was held for way to long as the rest of the field screamed past me...

most annoying graphical glitch you can get if you don't want it. Many reasons for it, primary reason is its to do with v sync and developers tend to not sync each frame to try and keep performance up in games.. PS3 is the worst, well reported, but others will have varying opinons, offender.

If v sync was enabled, a game locked at 30fps, if it can't maintain this, will drop to 15fps to ensure each frame is sync'd in screen - or so I understand but without sync'ing then dropped frames could see variable fps, max up to 30fps if its locked.

Was a thread a while ago on the subject.

I didn't realise the Grand Prix mode was a whole thing... I just thought it was a 'single race' covered in sugar lol.

Will give it a go :)

Nope, you can select all 19 races and recommend you run through the 3 lap races for each one and follow the other cars to learn the racing lines... Following other cars will show you best place to hit the apex on each corner, and you'll maybe smash into the cars along the way learning the braking zones etc, but it'll help.

Rule normally is line up for corner, brake and then turn, hit max apex for corner and then acelerate out of corner.

Better to pay £200 for a graphics card than a wheel in my eyes. At least the graphics card will be used for multiple purposes. :p
 
I;ve heard quite a few people complaining about the quality of this game, is it not living up to scratch?

I want a copy for the 360, but skint ATM so waiting, but really want to surprise my Dad who's F1 mad but not great with games (bought him an elite for his 65th lol) so some things he won't even detect, but others he will.

Think its still worth getting him. PS: Took him a while to get to gripse with Forza but loves the realism and tracks.

Wait until xmas, buy him the game and a wheel. Will be cheap as people will be selling wheels after buying them for this game.
 
This might have been asked before but on the 360 does anyone else have the issue of the game just freezing for 5-10 seconds every so often?
