*** Official F1 2010 Time Trials Thread ***

inam22, that driving force GT of yours is sold out everywhere. Don't know if it would improve my driving or not from my current wheel but when it's in stock I might buy one. Can you map the restart button to the wheel? I'm fed up of leaning forward to the keyboard to press restart a billion times since my wheel can't do that. How is the pedal base, does it slip around or is it well weighted?
 
Yes you can restart the lap from wheel, as far as pedal goes i am using wheel with wheelstandpro so there is no chane of moving any thing let alone pedals. I don't like the pedals though on DFGT, The brake, in particular, can be quite squishy, making it more difficult to accurately gauge the force being applied but hey their is old saying "you get what you pay".
 
Good to know about the restart button though. Still, I'll make a post at racingdept to see if maybe someone knows a way to to get restart onto my wheel.
 
I'm a bit slow :o

1:14.756 on my first attempts, but I took a screen shot and it came out black in paint? :confused:

I also need to find out how to turn off the bloody ghost car as it's constantly in the way putting me off!!
 
There is no in game option to turn off the ghost car but i believe Merlin knows the way if you really want to turn off the ghost car, by the way welcome to TT.
 
Well yea, this works for for me most of the time. You need to set a laptime, and I think you also need to then beat it. Then move (but not wise to delete in case you need to replace it) the PB folder out of the games main savegame folder to some backup folder anywhere on your harddrive, such as 'TaKeN's F1 PB Saves' folder, but leave the autosave folder.


C:\Users\yourname\Documents\My Games\FormulaOne/savegame/PB188003.000_e00008ecefe4850b_0


What I do is set my first laptime. Then I beat that laptime, (ghost is still easy to get past at this stage as it's usually when I've first learnt the track and nowhere near my fastest), and then I move the PB folders out. Then I can select any ghost to race from the leaderboard.

What happens then is a message comes up saying 'ghost lap autoload failed' (meaning it can't find my PB ghost), and then it downloads the ghost I selected. Or I can simply not select a ghost to race, and then do laps with no ghost.

I usually find that once I've beaten my PB again, a new ghost appears along with a new PB folder. You can move that out and replace the old PB folder in your backup folder. It's actually really quick to do once you know which folders to go to.

Use Fraps (free version) then after taking a screen shot edit the image in paint to save it as JPEG to make the file size small.
Edit: MSI Afterburner also has a screen shot feature, however the last time I used the program with this game it caused it to crash.

+1 on the Truelights mod. It really does make a significant visual difference to the game.

Yeah, I'm not even kidding when I say I have no idea of the track layout. It all looks the same to me. I went around earlier and posted a 1:48 something, but I was ashamed of how slow it was to even take a screen shot.

Full wet setup and the full racing line until I know my way around. I just hope that this track won't turn anyone off from taking part.
 
Thanks mercyless, i think i am getting more and more comfortable with the Wheel now. My first attempt:
1:46:438 - T-Cam Logitech DFGT - Medium TC & corners
