Codemasters F1 2010 X360/PS3 (contains important question about 2011 game!!!)

Lol, this game is very very stressful at times... I think I might be doing something wrong! Maybe i'm just a crap driver! My lap times in the Lotus on Catalunya are 1:28 at best!!
 
Forget about catalunya it's one of the most gimped circuits. Everyone is having a problem beating sector 2 of the AIs times there. I'm sure it will be patched. Even when I switched to the red bull I still couldn't get near the AI sector 2 time.

360 with game installed to the HD and I get terrible stuttering around the swimming pool area on Monaco and also on the last corner of Catalunya. It only happens on career mode though. Time trials are fine so I suspect its struggling to cope with the AI.

I will try time trials on mine now & see if it does it on there. But it is horrid the frame rate feels like it is going below 15 easily when going through that section.

edit: Just done 4 laps around Monaco on time trials & I don't get any frame rate slow down, It seems as Pete says it is only happening within career mode. But it is so bad it completely messes up my laps :(

Same here... I finally got the pace in Catalunya after some practice, just need to attack the corners more and find the right line..

Monaco however.. I gave up in my first season, just did what I could and pick up 18th, best I could do.

As for slowdowns.. Not noticed any slowness in Monaco on the PS3 version but the PS3 version has the most awful screen tearing in places, more so in the pits, when turning your head in the garage... Very poor.

Ok, I'm playing on easy and have a fair few assists but man is Monaco tough.

I came 2nd in Catalunya after an awful practice but managed a 1.26.00 to get pole. I lost the win because despite being an all dry race Webber got away without pitting (another story).

But Monaco. I can put a good time in up to the tunnel but I'm appalling for the 2nd half of the track and I'm only getting 1.28/1.29. It's the fast chicanes, I either hit the wall, get done for corner cutting or slow down too much. Going to have to put some work in here.

1st Season driving for Virgin.
 
With that chicane after coming out of the tunnel, look along the right hand side barrier and you will see markers. Generall braking around the 2nd one should get you slow enough entry speed to not cut the corner but will still be fairly quick.

Give or take a bit depending on how good your brakes are. :cool:
 
Just done my first race round Monaco after putting it off. In short I got owned big time. Qualified well in 11th but was totally destroyed during the race, lost count of the number of warnings I got for being hit from behind :D Had a massive bit of luck on the first lap, running up the hill towards Casino Square I lumped the barrier on the inside and took off big time!


Also not quite sure what issues people are having with Catalunya? I cant quite match some of the faster sector 2 times but easily able to put in faster laps during practise & qually. Did get owned in the race though :confused:

Practise times, Legendary AI, no aids, Lotus & pad:

Probably been asked a few times in this thread, but what wheels are people using for the Xbox360?

I know the official MS one is hard to get and you pay well over the odds to get it (ebay etc) but what are the other options for wheels?

Thanks

I finally got the game today after much deliberation, so will be giving it a good bash tonight. Looking forward to the G27 arriving soon though as I'm sure it will make it easier/more enjoyable.

And I've always been a fan of monaco in F1 games, so will probably give that a go first.

Will have to double check, but I think it was the engineer set-up that has handling of slight oversteer. Then knocked off a single level of rear wing and engine map fast. I absolutely love Catalunya though, the first sequence of corners are superb if you get them correct. Down to 4th for the first right/left, upto 5th on the exit and then 6th as I turn into the sweeping right hander.
 
Discovered last night that using your own setups is SO much faster than using the engineer defaults!

Quick Q for non wheel people, are you using auto or manual gearbox?
Click to expand...
Manual. Only thing I use is ABS as I find it hard to judge when you're going to lock up. Also you can't trail brake either way, so there's no advantage to be had without it.

Won my first world championship in my rookie year last night in my Williams - have that Rubens :D
 
Still on Auto myself, might have to try it, though as I don't know most of the tracks, auto is easier,

Still have traction control on full.
