***Official Formula One 2011 Thread***

Yeah it tells you these things. I had an awesome racing session with sparc and omga today was epic around Melbourne. I won since they got time penalties :

Hope you aren't getting too good :p - going to take me a day to get it all setup (i.e. my wheel and any stuttering issues) and get the feel of the new handling system. Looking forward to coop with you :)

Can see me playing a lot of this, starting next weekend.
 
So lots of people are using Mumble for this? is it possible to use Steam chat if you have a friend on Steam and you are in a "chat room" together? Trying to work out what is best :)
 
I don't think I will ever race online again tbh. Will just get picked on again. Will stick to single player alone where I belong.

That is why we are doing coop together :)

Have been watching Youtube and the online races - wouldn't have thought it would be too bad with OcUKers, but they look terrible tbh. Loads of corner cutting, race ending collisions on the first corner and penalties for people that have done nothing wrong.

Not long until I get to play this, by Friday afternoon hopefully :)

I have read it here a couple of times, but be sure to backup your save game. Annoying to see these issues still there.
 
I can't help but wonder whether this "new" suspension model is the same one that was excluded from the game last year at the very last minute - I remember Ant being really annoyed that they had changed it.

An interesting post on the official forums -

I think CM need to know this before they go playing around with the springs to fix this bug, because it isn't exactly what we all think it is. I've spent about an hour testing all variables, springs at 11, 10, 9, 6, 1 and some random ones also, and all under the exact same conditions on the same tyre.

Basicly, 11/11 for spring rate isn't just a rare conicidence in setups that means you're instantly 3-5 seconds faster. 10/10 will do pretty much the exact same thing, same for 9/9, the lower the numbers, the less dramatic the insane amount of grip. So just banning 11/11 won't fix it. 1/1 will give you huge understeer, but good tyre wear, where as 11/11 will give you insane speed and grip, but bad tyre wear.

It should no longer be reffered too as the 11/11 glitch, because it's not just 11/11 as I said earlier. It's basicly the whole spring setup that isn't coded correctly.

I think the way to fix this is too adjust the way springs effect the car. They have the basics right. 11/11 will make you faster but it gives you bad tyre wear, and the oposite for 1/1. That part is right, what isn't right, though, is that the 11/11 far outways the bad tyre wear. Theoretically, if I ran 11/11 the whole race and my mate ran 6/6 the whole race, and we were the same pace usually. Then I will stretch a gap out due to my pace, but his good wear will close that back up again at the end of a long stint. Unfortunetly that's not how it works, the 11/11 is so fast, it doesn't matter how bad your tyre wear is, no one will ever catch you. So really, all that needs to be done is, half how much faster 11/11 will make you, that way the tyre wear will make everyone want to go with a different setup.


I hope this helps you devs somewhat, because frankly, this is ruining the game, and like many others, I want it fixed.

At least this time they are taking more notice of the problems - it remains to be seen how many of these bugs will be fixed, but the talk over there at the moment seems positive. Only 2 days until I can play this :)
 
Loving this game so far - DRS and KERS are mighty fun. It really is great to push the car to the edge and to feel it trying to get away from you. Happy to have fixed my stuttering and crossfire issues, and more or less optimised my wheel now :)
 
Anyone having problems with replays?

For some reason mine always start with "F3" pushed down so that I get a slightly fast than "normal speed" replay. To get normal speed I need to press F1 for slow motion, then hold down F3 the whole time....whats going on?
 
Anyone else had problems with the replays?

Have moved this onto my SSD - was getting stupidly long loading times, probably linked to all my crossfire and gpu issues.

Edit - reduced my load times slightly, but not by much :(, must be related to something else?
