SEASON ONE


sup guys,

Been working on a youtube series with commentary where I take you along for the ride for an entire season of F1 2010 in career mode with the Lotus on expert difficulty (so no assists, legend ai, fuel and tire sim activated, also no mods installed except the cockpit cam mod).

Includes tips and tricks on how to tackle the circuits and how to handle the car, random ramblings about real F1, the occasional jab at codemaster's not always too masterful coding, and much more!

Check the vids out linked below or you can find all of them on my channel. Please subscribe and give me feedback if you like it Hope you enjoy and that it helps some of you guys struggling on expert settings.

Looking forward to the next episode Steve, you can't produce them quick enough for us man, c'mon get racing, screw life Keep up the good work mate, oh and I subscribed L30P4RD73.

 

[Steve Stoop]

well didn't get round to do valencia this weekend after all, but here it is now!

thx for the kind comments guys, keeps me goin' Did some tweaking to how i encoded the vid, so let me know if you think it's improved.

 

[My993C2]

well didn't get round to do valencia this weekend after all, but here it is now!

Thxs I will watch this video later today. Valencia is the next race for me to do. I did some initial practice laps the other night on the track and can drive it pretty much at racing speeds now. But I am sure I am losing some time on the last corner before the start/finish line, so I am curious to see how you take that corner.

 

[David Kaye]

Great Vid yet again Steve, I really appreciate your work, as it is a nice break for me to take but along the F1 route I think I will have to hold off watching the next couple so I have a few to watch together. And also looking forward to the next series already and hope you do the modded version

It will be a fantastic visual reference to the problem's people talk about and experience, two seasons 1 game one is un-modded the other is modded, watch the evidence.... YOU DECIDE lol

p.s Don't feel any shame if *cough* something should happen to Webber I don't neither Petrov nor Kubica I feel no sympathy, aw what a shame.

 

[Peter Levy]

Some clever modder needs to help Steve fix his camera mod which went nuts at Silverstone and it's preventing him from doing that event.

 

[David Kaye]

wow I have heard of this before so he may have to get in touch with the author of the mod but I believe it may be a CM bug as their patch fixed Ferrari doing that on certain track's, I can see how it makes life difficult, did he take his epilepsy pill's before the race ill: here try this Steve

(To epilepsy sufferers it's a joke, no offence intended and if you are offended ha bite me lol)

 

[Steve Stoop]

lol
no worries though, I 'fixed' it by switching from FOV 70 to FOV 60 and the epileptic seizure was gone. Now it does switch to Tcam when driving into the pit but that doesnt bother me as it automatically switches back to cockpit view as I exit again.

Finished Silverstone, should be on youtube in a few hours

 

[David Kaye]

Great stuff, I can't wait mate, really happy you found your medication as I don't have to reach for mine now

 

[Erad]

Well done mate, these vids are really useful. I practised at monaco one evening and was lapping pretty poorly (1.21 ish, hard tyres, torro rosso season 2). I watched your video the next day and was immediately 2 seconds quicker, eventually improving to a 1:17:8 on softs.

 

[Petarkco]

I'm really enjoying watching, would you be able to post what setups you use (including Bahrain)?

 

[Steve Stoop]

@Erad: sweet, happy the vid helped you out, 1.17.8 is a very respectable time on Monaco. This is part of the reason I started doing this: showing people what is possible and help them improve with a good setup, clean racing, and lots and lots of practice.

@ Daniel: I usually cover the setups in the vids, forgot doing that once or twice but most should be on there
I'll post the setups when I find time (and the will to do so lol) to note them all down and post here. Would be great if f1 2011 has options to just share your setups online.

silverstone is up now btw:

was a very tricky race, but fairly pleased with the result

 

[Oli Peacock]

Another insightful vid steve and as sad as it sounds you've inspired me to take up expert mode. keep them rolling

 

[David Kaye]

Great race mate, not one of my fav track's to drive though. I liked the little sneaky move at the start but agree with you, you had no choice really and very lucky you did not get a drive through at least. I was surprised when you just drove off into the sunset like that

Nevermind Problem solved!

 

[Petarkco]

You've inspired me to try expert mode and its harder than it looks, I have problems choosing the right gear for each corner. I have some of Bahrain's corners mastered but some are hell.

 

[SkylineCVC]

Hey,

just wanted to thank you for your efforts. You have a nice racing style.
If you should start a second year after this you could use the new AI mod: http://www.racedepartment.com/f1-2010-mods/47322-download-team-ai-f1-2010-ai-tool-kit.html
I really would like to see you driving in legend(ingame)/legend(mod)..:tongue:

Greetings,
Skyline

 

[David Kaye]

I hope you have not given up on us Steve mate

 

[Steve Stoop]

of course I haven't

hockenheim is now live!

Hungaroring race is also finished but still needs the whole editing/commentary (Brundle Boy moments ) mumbo jumbo. Lemme tell you that was a corker imo, finally a rain race there

 

[Oli Peacock]

Steve, do you race with a steering wheel and pedels? if so what are you racing with?

 

[Steve Stoop]

I have a logitech Driving force GT, quality wheel and pedals (no clutch though) for a reasonable price. Couldn't imagine playing with a controller, so much depends on throttle input, brake pressure, quick steering correction I don't see how some of u guys do it

I started F1 2010 with a joystick I still had lying around from playing il-2, all assists except the brakes on (never really played any racing games before except waaay back one of the GP's and gran turismo back on the PS2)... Got a wheel after a week or two of playing....Practice can get you far lol
