Hi folks.
I've seen quite a lot of negative response to F1 2010 due to the bugs and, TBH, it's starting to become a bit depressing to read.
Am I the only one who doesn't actually have much of a problem with most of the "bugs"?
Seems like the penalty system comes in for a lot of criticism but, frankly, it really hasn't bothered me that much.
It can be a little harsh if an AI drives into the back of you and you get a penalty but I've found that, quite simply, if that's happening a lot then the simplest solution is just to dial down the AI skill level a bit so you're competing with drivers who aren't much faster than you.
I know a lot of people might crank up the AI skill as a challenge but that just makes you a mobile chicane and a target for penalties. Reduce the AI skill a bit and the problem goes away. Mostly.
The pitlane "bug" is another thing that comes up a lot.
I simply don't see this as an issue at all.
Sure, the lollipop man can be a bit timid when releasing you but, to me, getting leapfrogged in the pits is all part of the F1 experience.
Overall, speaking as a PC user, F1 2010 is the best F1 sim I've played in over a decade.
I've bought every Geoff Crammond game that's been made but GP4 is just too unstable to play.
Thus, F1 2010 is a breath of fresh air IMO.
I don't mean to be controversial BTW.
If discussing this sort of thing isn't the "done thing" around here, please let me know.
