I've been wondering if the tracks will change from year to year depending on configuration. Like Bahrain this year was a longer version but for 2011 it'll go back to the original layout. Will F1 2010 support this? Same thing for Silverstone and Spa which have changed for this year.

F1 2010 will be limited to 2010 tracks, teams and drivers only with no modifications at all.

I fully expect Codemasters to launch a "whole new game" every year for the 2-3 years they hold the licence. I just hope the price tag will reflect the level of content added.

Perhaps by the end of the licence we'll have the game we've all wanted. Safety cars, formation laps, car setups etc.
 
Previously it was unclear whether F1 will use DirectX 11 features in 2010. The assumption was natural, after all dirt has 2, which is also based on the Ego engine, even among other DirectX-11-Tesselation.

As we learned talking to the publishers in Germany, F1 2010 will appear in the sale start without DirectX 11 support and are thus presumed to rely on DirectX 9. Clearly, the integration of a DX11 path complex than thought. Even with Dirt 2 it was so that Codemasters the PC version well after the console versions sent into the race. That would obviously be avoided in F1 in 2010 and is rather "only" a DirectX 9 version in the trade. After our impression at the fair is the graphics but still very respectable.

According to our information to an F1-2010-patch for DirectX 11 will appear later. When this occurs and what features it brings, is at the current time, however, unclear. The current first-Engine offers via hardware tessellation, and thus rendered detailed route audience, tessellated materials (including flags) and a better water view with more waves and water splashes. Thanks to the full-floating point HDR lighting (FP16) and via Direct High Definition compute computed ambient occlusion, post-effects like motion blur and better filtered Shoft-Shadows act of light and shadow games in Dirt 2 extremely realistic.

Is there a gp3 mod community ? i shall go look while waiting your answer.

I have all the series i know gp4 had probs but all sorted now and great mods available.

Edit: I have been playing about with rfactor 2009 mod but not complete like a dedicated f1 sim but the sense of speed is immense compared to gp4,but i still keep going back :)

If its like F1 97 on the Playstation, i'll be happy. Loved that game, can still remember a crazy season i had on it :)

I too want this to be GP5, but it won't be, just as long as the sensation of driving is good and the a.i are on par with GP4, i can see myself playing this for a long time.

I just hope it pushes certain modding groups to develop tools and crack it open so we can have any season we want with custom tracks.

But codemaster games are notoriously hard to mod, so i'm not holding my breath.
 
Gp4 sucked, couldn't do pit stops.... i mean what is the point of a F1 game if you cant pit?

The fact they done one Patch, then disappeared off the face of the earth really annoys me too.

I haven't played a F1 game since Gp3 / F1 2002. :(

DX11 made such a minimal difference to Dirt 2 that they just shouldn't have bothers putting in the extra effort.

Codemasters are far too ready to sell their souls to other companies at the expense of customers.

The PC version of Dirt2 was put back months simply for DX11 compatibility. Given this added so little, it's obvious to me that AMD/ATI threw a shedload of cash at them to do this and offered to bundle it with loads of graphics cards. Net result, eyes full of dollar signs and screw the customer.

The same has happened with GFWL. When the majority of other developers have accepted that Steamworks is vastly superior, and virtually all customers feel the same, the only explanation for Codemasters' steadfast refusal to ditch it is that Microsoft are throwing loads of cash at them to use it.

I find it rather ironic that CM are currently looking to take legal action over two ex-executives who, they claim, have poached staff and knowledge from them. This is market forces at work CM and happens everywhere. After you're so ready to sell your souls to the likes of AMD & Microsoft, don't expect any sympathy when the same capitalist market forces bite you on the behind.
