Yup, the AI times in Practice and Quali don't represent what is actually happening on track. You can have every other car disappear at 2 seconds a lap in front of you on the track yet you will be on pole. It's not until i pit and fast forward that the times start to get quicker. Maybe it's scripted to replicate the track having more grip later in sessions but it still sucks.

AI aren't effected by fuel so disable fuel simulation and you have a better chance of keeping up.

Tyre punctures have been solved (at least so far) for me by turning damage off.

The ENB mod is a must. After using it then turning it off it was almost like some old war film with that bloody brown tint
 
There are some corners that I dont understand how people are getting round them, like Hockenheim, with full lock on my xbox 360 pad, i cant get the car around it and exit onto the run off area every time.

What am I doing wrong? Ive tried going in slow, quick etc, but some corners just seem unable to be taken.

Lots of things have been said in terms of me getting round this corner. Think I may FRAPS my attemps this evening for a laugh :) On the upside I'm really good at South Korea and Brazil!

I have 3 flashbacks purely for punctures. Unless I go off track loads, through some debris or into a wall, I'll flashback and reclaim my tyre :D

Haha, did this in Bahrain, rewinded 50 yards before the puncture and all was fine!

Another reason why I have just given up with career mode for now, what with the AI not going through pits, not being affected by fuel, dodgy AI alltogether, the pit stop bug etc etc.

While I'm here, anyone getting lots of connection issues online? I can only connect to like 1 in 10 games which is quite frustrating!
 
It's the race pace of the AI that is getting on my nerves at the moment. You can be .5 seconds quicker every lap and pull away yet they will suddenly hit turbo boost and breeze past you never to be seen again!

All you can do is take a wide enough line and at a slow speed (while not holding the brake) - it is very difficult on some corners.

I know what you mean. Imagine lapping only 1sec of the leaders in 20th place only to see Chandhok lap you. :confused:


I didn't finish that race. Or any other's that day.

That is very strange.

In all the races I've completed, I've yet to see something dodgy, similar to what you have experienced, above.
 
Don't you guys find it odd that people report bugs such as no slipstearming, silly AI and yet some have no trouble at all? Difference of opinion or random bugs?

The game sounds a bit of a mess... :(

It seems to be certain people complaining and certain people not.

To be honest, I love it - and the other drivers are making mistakes aswell such as spinning off the track and crashing into each other etc. No AI problems here.
 
Im still getting the error with the sound that there is a slight delay with hitting the throttle and hearing the sound.
Changed it from rapture to software same thing happens.

Do you think they will patch some of the textures themselves or leave it for the modders?
 
been playing it for a few days now and im upto the german GP thought id play on easy first and try the other levels later the game seems very easy sofar. not a bad game really although there are a few problems as have been mentioned sofar in here, one thing ive found sofar is there seems to be very little retirements as im on about the 9th race and theres not been any retirements in any of the other races also its not very realistic as when you hit a wall you just stop dead and you can carry on or if you hit another car nothing falls of yours. is there any setting to change this?

Yes, try turning damage to realistic instead of its default easy setting "off".

Not commenting on people here, but a lot of bugs reported on the official forums are just features that non-F1 fans don't understand. Some also seem to be related to certain setups e.g. input lag. I guess I have been a little lucky too.

The official forums make my head hurt :( . Thank goodness we don't have the kind of people here as they do.

@webmonkeyuk: I feel your pain. I done a fresh install yesterday and after installing the game again and moving over my savegame back up it didn't even recognise it :( ... started again for the 3rd time.
