Ok i've had the game for a few days now, started off a bit meh!, but really getting to grips with it now, and loving it, although I have made the decision only to do multiplayer and leaderboard time trials, I will not go anywhere near the career mode for fear of it ruining my enjoyment with the game so far.

At first the driving style (i'm using a logitech dfp) is somewhat counter-intuitive against say the likes of Forza 3 and GT5-P as for some corners you just have to go flat out full throttle (no i'm not using any traction control) and trust in the downforce capability of the car. Since adopting and trusting the on-rails ability of the car I am starting to get into a rhythm and I can see the beginnings of that almost mediative zone when playing, when those hot laps start to roll out.

I recommend for anyone with an fps lower than 60 (or whatever hz your monitor is) to enable vsync in game, and use d3doverrider to bring in the extra backbuffer to stop the huge vsync fps drops.

I've improved my loading times somewhat by having vsync on in game, but off with d3doverrider, not by a great deal but it does seem to help. Of course, if you run without vsync entirely then loading times are much quicker. It's almost as if the fps speed is directly proportional to the loading speed lol, how very odd :)

Favourite tracks so far : Yas Marina (Abu Dhabi), Spa & Monza.

If anyone has a Logitech DFP wheel, then you will find a nice .zip file posted on the official technical forum for the game, which sets the DPAD properly so you can use it both for quick menu, and selection menus, whilst also adding in the pit limiter and car status OSD.

Can anyone explain why I get up to 8th before people pit in a race, get up to lap 7 or so then switch from prime to option, nobody else in the pit, but come out 18th or so? It drives me mad, I might as well not have bothered as I've ended up lower than my qual position (13th). Is this also part of the problem doing a 20% race or is it just the pit stop bug?

I also read about front wing and engine revs adjustment... is this actually possible in a race? There's no designated controls for them as far as I can see.

had the same thing happen too was running 5th and pitted 2 laps from end and was not held up in pits but came out 18th , was like they had been speeded up, no way i should have lost so many places

It is possible, but it is next to useless as it takes so long to access the menus. By the time I have made the changes I have spun off the track.

Try pressing 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Once you see those menus, you will get the idea.

Disagree, it's dead easy if you're using a pad, and can make a difference to laptimes.

For the wing, you just click Right, Right, then up or down to apply a setting. Can make a big difference on the straights.

Just did a lap at Istanbul with normal engine then changed it up to the faster engine profile and bloody hell its so much quicker!
Flew round the lap! about 1.5sec faster, both were perfect laps.

Love that circuit.
 
Fake AI in races?


I think we can probably safely assume that something dodgy is going on, even if it's not totally fake like it is in qualifying.
 
Well I bit the bullet and grabbed it, I can't see how people are moaning about performance.

I'm running 2048x1158 ultra 4xmaa and I have no issues whatsoever, that's on a 4870 512mb so hardly cutting edge. My cpu is a Phenom II x3 @ 3.5GHz.

I've discovered my wheel is dead so only used the keys thus far and ask expected, they're awful, need to grab a new wheel so I can actually play it now.

Loading times are 'normal' and by no means long.
 
had a really dodgy race yesterday, alonso was down in 20th behind me for the last quarter of the race after a dodgy pit-stop i made and after i finished the game decided he had finished in 1st :eek:

I also had a glitch in my favour where i was in 6th and the game decided i had finished in 1st with all the other cars 1 lap behind me :confused:
 
I'm loving this game so far but every time I start the game on steam it installs directx before letting me play it! It says this is only a first time set-up but does it every time!? Anyone had this problem/know how to solve it?

Tells it to only use one of the two GPUs rather than crossfire.

I don't think that's strictly true, although I could be wrong, it's the bit that allows ati to write in custom tweaks against certain games . I have read of many peeps with crossfire and dual core eg 4870x2 who have worked around the window and full screen defecit by disabling ai until hopefully the next ati driver which should fix the issue

Think the tweaks are applied by advanced catalyst AI.
 
Why has the advanced steering option been disabled for joypad??? Im using a logitech wireless rumble pad 2 and I have even turned the sensitvity down to 1% in the profiler which made it better but its still super sensitive. its ridiculous the controller is fully supported in game menus work everything yet im stuck with super sensitive steering damn it :(
