Decided to pick up a Logitech Formula Force EX PC Steering Wheel for this (looks good, and not too expensive). Now just trying to pick up a good deal, although £45 on the bay new isn't too bad if I can't find better.

Edit: Apparently it doesn't work well with Grid. Will stick to a supported wheel then :)

I don't get the problem with switching to the 2011 game. 2010 is finished?

Read the forums after it has been released... I very much doubt it will be "finished" ;)

It is sounding very much like a "Released and done" project.

What is wrong with tweaking it long term instead of just "fixing things" in the next full priced release :(

The game can still utilise Steamworks for cloud, achievements etc and STILL be a GFWL title... nothing wrong with that.

Just passing on what I was told, I hold no garruntees that it's 100% though. ;)

what things have they missed out?

The consensus list I saw of missing things seems to be


- Safety car
- Mechanical failures (only ai has it)
- telemetry
- Marshalls
- Laser scanned circuits
- Formation and end lap
- Podiums
- Helmet designer
- Drivers changes during seasons
- full replay system (can't switch to other cars in replay)

Things I can live with. It has been too long since we have had an updated F1 game. Plus the pit/media features look really cool.

This should and could have been included and I can see why many are not happy with its exculusion in the game.

- Mechanical failures (only ai has it)

Again, such a mistake. It should be an option. Grand Prix 4 had this way back in 2001.. Heck, Grand Prix 1 way back in 1992 had it..

- telemetry

Not good but then its not a sim is it.. so why need it? If this was a sim, and you needed the data to set the car up, it would be essential, but as this is mostly an arcade game - not needed so won't be missed..

- Marshalls

Really? No on track Marshalls? Now that does surprise me, so when you crash, no Marshalls pull the car off the road... Comical.. So when the AI cars stuff into the wall or gravel trap - if this does happen the car just magically removes itself..?? lol

- Laser scanned circuits

Not bothered, videos I've seen look like they've done a decent enough job without it...

- Formation and end lap

Formation lap, ok.. Last lap, and if in the top three you should be able to see f1 parc ferme rules in effect and park like a true winner...!!

- Podiums

Oh what? So no onscreen podium celebration? Surprised about that..

- Helmet designer

Not bothered, its not needed.

- Drivers changes during seasons

This will be due to license and I can live with that..

- full replay system (can't switch to other cars in replay)

nice feature to have but not a must.. Again can live without that.

Oh and if this game has suddenly gone from being GFWL only to Steamworks and GFWL then I'll eat my own boxers and youtube me actually doing this...

I honestly can't see it myself.. Its always been GFWL and seeing how many complained Codemasters would have bragged about steamworks well before a few weeks before general release.

GFWL truely is the suck though for a game like this... Multiplayer on the PC deserved much better. Full field LAN play :)

Full field lan play? I heard that it was only 13 per game max?
 
no failures and no telemetry? WTF?

No replay system sucks too. I used to like watching races on GP3. Say if i crashed out with 10 laps to go i would carry on watching the race. This just boots you out?

And i heard they was going for a Sim game, yet i keep hearing arcade mentioned lately. Why the change?
 
Instead of crashing out they have a thing where you can rewind time and then play on and avoid the crash. I think you're limited to the amount of time or the number of times you can do it though. Sounds a bit daft to me though.
