F1 2011 Realistic lap times

You should probably let people know on the codemasters forum that it's that fast because of the setup exploit otherwise it's just going to cause confusion.

 

[Dylan Hember]

It looks abit like you have tyre sim turned off. I am not sure yet though as i get my game tomorrow

 

[Carl Williamson]

It's already been explained, he is using the known setup exploit detailed here http://community.codemasters.com/fo...ion-1403/471570-huge-setup-bug-f1-2011-a.html

Someone should really pop into his thread on codies forum to let people know and clear things up, I can't because the crappy codemasters site doesn't let you create new accounts at the moment.

 

[Jasjeet Suri]

There is already a setup bug thread on Codies forum. Springs set to 11/11 is making a big advantage.

i dont have an account there either =/

 

[Carl Williamson]

Yes but someone needs to pop into this thread and let them know the lap was only that fast because of the setup bug

No, ist ON

The problem is the setup ... look here http://community.codemasters.com/fo...ion-1403/471570-huge-setup-bug-f1-2011-a.html

8/8 springs, no cutting, time = 1:20.014

 

[Jasjeet Suri]

There you have it. 3 seconds accounts for your life not being at stake here.

 

[Derek Kind]

Regardless of cutting and setup bugs, the game is still faster than last years, and you can imagine why. They've put in KERS and DRS and probably didn't slow the cars down enough to compensate. The times were pretty realistic last year but the cars have only gotten faster in 2011.

As to "corner cutting" (in Melb it's more about running wide), if it's a RD league rule, that's fine and good. But you know if Vettel was allowed to cut corners in his pole lap he would have done, if it were faster, so would every other driver in the field. Racing is about making use of every inch of track given to you; if the game gives us more track, everyone will use it.

@ jasjeet ... what is your problem, there is something completly wrong with this game

 

[Jasjeet Suri]

Yes, thats what i meant, you implied that Codies did this by design, but thats not really correct.
Setting springs to 8/8 slowed you down by 3seconds which is slightly more realistic and explains your super fast 1.17.xxx lap.

If you want me to re-phrase my last post: Then that explains it.

Why are you letting people continue to argue in your thread on codies forum ? Just go in there and let them know the lap is that fast because of the setup and it will clear things up !

sorry, my english is not the best. perhaps i understood something wrong ... but about the setup i tell it there ...

lower springs ... slower lap time

i hope cm will fix it

 

[Carl Williamson]

Yes tell them that the lap is fast because of the setup glitch, they are still all clueless to this fact !

It's a good video showing how much of an advantage the bug gives you, but at the moment everyone in that thread just assumes you are a driving god lol

 

[Jay Jones]

Whats this setp glitch?

 

[Jasjeet Suri]

OP has posted his setup in the thread. The glitch/bug is using springs at 11/11.
Please dont go and abuse this.

 

[The_Rock]

i dont know exactly that is a bug .. or perhaps its a feature von cm

all the setups from f1 2010 and 2011 are not realistic so why must this be a bug

the time is still too fast and with the cm rules (cutting) over 4 seconds faster than the real f1

you are a driving god lol

fast enough for your :tongue:

Caution about setups

There has been probably a major setup flaw revealed in the codemasters forum.

http://community.codemasters.com/fo...ion-1403/471570-huge-setup-bug-f1-2011-a.html

You can almost drive on rails if you set front and rear spring rate to 11.
If the setup system is generally flawed all the work about the setups is useless or will become useless if it will be patched.
Maybe other options are flawed too.

 

[Derek Kind]

Maybe you've just stumbled upon the ultimate setup!

I tried 11/11 springs in TT and it felt very very fast, I braked at the line but it was still a fast time. I lowered the springs to 8/8 and it felt slower already, less stable, but I was still able to set a PB and in fact a current record. I fully admit it's not a clean lap but I'm sure I can do a faster, "kosher" lap with practice. Meanwhile the times are going to drop on the leaderboard as others figure out their setups.

If the 11/11 is remarkably faster than 10/10 and 9/9 then we might have a bug, but it might just be a poor design. Either way I hope it gets changed in a patch (and the leaderboards reset).

 

[Jan Köhler]

From what I've seen in some videos you are able to go about 2-3 seconds faster with changing springs from 11/11 to 8/8-10/10. Sounds like a bug at least to me.
