Sounds like Sauber are this years Force India then!
Also, apologies for never getting back to this thread after GAMEFest. Me and a couple of mates had a quick go before the horde arrived, and it felt pretty dam sweet. I instantly tried wet monaco and failed... miserably. The rain effect mixed in with a complete lack of grip compared to 2010 made a tasty first corner incident.
My friend on the other hand tried sunny catalyuna (just to see what the AI was like, as we all know how insane they were around that track) and he said it felt good. While feeling like you have less grip, it was much easier to attack the car.
My copy (along with 5 other uni mates) got dispatched yesterday so hopefully it will arrive tomorrow. Add me: carrot1401

Forced off does mean the driving assists.
I was playing with graphics everything at max. 1920x1080 res, direct 11. You will need to ask Stoke for his .
We bought the UK version but unlocked it on steam by going on the american steam.
The car hits terminal damage just as you get lowered down and your in game monitor starts going black.
No game modes were played by me anyway before co-op we both restarted the game etc as well.
I was using a wheel. Driving Force Pro.
It was 100% of the team for both of us yes.
Hope I helped.
He really doesn't, my 5850 at 2048x chews through this no problem.

Good PR by Codies there.
Not really the point, it's somewhat frustrating having to disable things just to run one game! I understand that it's not 100% Codemasters fault, but it's still not something you like happening when you've just bought a game!
Many thanks for the reply. Was it a long race weekend mate?
Also, if you could upload a dxdiag to somewhere like pastebin that would be a great help.
One thing that can potentially ruin any feeling driving the cars with a wheel: override input device type -> wheel. If you forget to do this, you are effectively driving with gamepad/keyboard(?) settings and have a huuuuge deadzone even with deadzone (and other wheel settings) set to 0%. Notice that this is a separate setting to choosing your controller. I was cursing the game to hell before I noticed this setting and after changing that, it's now a very enjoyable game with a wheel. I think the optimal settings for a Fanatec wheel is ~270 degrees from Fanatec settings and everything in-game turned to 0%.
The game is finally where I wanted it to be year ago - believable F1 simulation. Mind you, it's still not a hardcore simulation but it's now good enough to satisfy even most sim gamers. Couple of console-driven things I'd still like changed: more AI settings - preferably at least 30-40 different difficulty levels instead of four. With four settings it's the usual problem, professional is too slow, legend is too fast (for now). The second thing is changing the length of the race. It jumps from 10% to 20% to 50%, at least give us 5% increments if not 1% increments?
But overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the game. Finally we have actual AI drivers driving on the circuit. I've no idea what that was all about last year but at least it's fixed now. Some people have issues with fps (hopefully fixed with upcoming drivers?) but I'm running everything at maximum (4x AA) and getting 80+ fps even at the start of wet races at 1920x1080. Overclocked 2500k and a 6970.

Helios, is there any chance you could have a look into the SSD issue i mentioned a couple of pages back? I'm currently having to run the game off a second steam install with just F1 2011 on it on a mechanical HDD which is annoying to say the least

As to the SSD issue you're experiencing, all the guys here on SSD’s have not reported any boot problems.
Couple of quick questions for you. The guys here have the OS and game on the same drive here, do you have these on seperate drives? We're also all running retail disk versions of the game, are you using Steam?
If you could link me to a dxdiag uploaded to pastebin, that would also help.
I get avg of 47fps with everything maxed out, 4xaa, at 1920x1200
