by god, my hand hurts, its all cramped and everything. AND ITS 4 ****ing AM!!!!

thats all I have to say about this game. Well that and I want my wheel...


PS: just thought there were a few things you should all know. Alt tabbing gets the game stuck in window mode, just use alt enter to fix this. The AI is as bad as it is as its using no driving assists, if your using them odds are you are going to be quicker than most of them. And the cars are o so reflective, there was something else but its 4am so may be later

Is this game any different from grid/dirt 2 in the sense of game structure

I found those two games to be rather repetitive and it got annoying pretty quick.

The graphics are ok but the physics are awful. It's disappointing.
Mario kart is more Sim then this.

i been playin it a bit,its ok but to me it just seems like grid/dirt 2 all over again with just f1 cars and diff tracks.I think i would enjoy it more if i had a wheel instead of a controller.

Its F1 with everything that that statement comes with, the circuits, the car, the weather. Dont know dirt2 but it is set up completely different to Grid, there is a logical progression of the tracks (same as the schedule for this season). Weather is done quite well, ai doesnt handle it all that well sadly (managed to get pole by about 5 seconds in a lotus somehow) though that may be due to the fact that I have all assists on while the ai has none (this is why the ai is apparently not all that good, take off your assists and it improves the difficulty) but aquaplaning is common and to the person who said that this game wasnt very simmy, I dont have much to base this on but it seems pretty decent to me sim wise, cars move the way they are suppose to, had a few random spins but thats going to happen when you accelerate on off camber curbs mid corner.

damage is another story

Just a couple tips for everyone: if you want to dabble with the Direct x11 go to:
documents/mygames/f1_2010/hardwaresettings/hardware_settings_config on there look for the statement <directx forcedx9="true" /> change it to <directx forcedx9="false" />

this isnt fully optimized and there may be some graphics glitches on a couple tracks, but if you want to try it. Kuala lampur is the biggest example of the glitching, most other tracks seem ok

For those running game pads to play, i found this helped with the controls: go to steam directory, and find where the game installed too, go in the action map directory, edit the windows ximput.xml look for the steer left/right section, change Deadzone to 0.3. It takes the jitteriness out of the controlls, i found with it at default the game tended to drift left or right even with your hand not on the stick. this fixes that.
