Guys I'm trying to learn driving without tc with manual gearing, any tips that i could use, I'm using the G27. Btw does braking harder while approaching a corner burns the tyres? I mean do they lock up? I cant tell so far.
Depends on your brake balance setting, but most of the time they should lock up and lock up pretty easy. Without TC just feed the power in slowly out of corners, maybe take a second or 2 to get to full throttle. Something I'm trying with the manual gearing is to delay the last downchange until just before the corner. I noticed other people in videos doing this. Seems to help with stability a bit.
Well, the patch improved some things for sure. The game now looks much better because of the FPS gain, and runs more fluidly. I guess because of the patch it now uses my quad core processor better.
BUT the force feedback has changed a bit. I don't know if it's for better or worse, because I spun on some places easily, where I wouldn't before, for example the penultimate corner at Melbourne.
And it seems the penalty system hasn't been improved at all. Yesterday in an online race, I got punted from behind by someone at a corner and so was pushed across forcing me to cut it. Was carrying too much speed since it was Monza, and I get a 10 sec time penalty for corner cutting. Then I was following someone in their slipstream trying to overtake, the guy spins at the next corner and since I'm right behind he crashes into me, and I get another penalty for causing a collision. WTF? :mad:
Yer i find that to, i think the game finds it hard to tell the difference between an accident, and a crash through being stupidQuote:

As for the brakes, it should be fairly easy to spot a lock up - the game does have a glitch that resets the ABS so perhaps that's what happened to you.
Got into a 2 race online thingy with about 11 people a couple of days ago. The host allowed all driving assists, but I went with no assists as always. The first race was at Monza, which I won and by lap 3 half of them disconnected. I won that race by not even a big margin and the host then sends me a message saying I'm cheating. :rolleyes:
Then we get to Spa next, where I win again, and again by not even going too fast. I think my lap time was 1:44, which is about 3 seconds off my best lap time there. The host again sends me a message, "100% cheating" and leaves the race. :laugh:
When will these morons realize that you actually can't cheat online. Maybe in Time Trial, as some of the times on the leaderboards are just impossible, but I haven't seen anybody cheat in an online race yet. Plus, there's an anti-cheat system in place for F1 2010 already, similar to PunkBuster. If you go into the F1 2010 directory, you can even see the anti-cheat folder.
I've really had enough of noobs not being able to drive, then throwing their toys out of the pram if they're beaten fair and square. It's a difference of at least 3 seconds with all assists off! I saw some noob at the Codies forum say that people with wheels and all assists off are cheaters. :rotflmao: There's no shortage of idiots and sore losers. RARELY you would find people joining in a race with all assists off. It seems nobody really wants to do it the hard way.
