I dusted off F1 2010 and I have it working reasonably well. I also managed to change all the XML files to editable files so I am working on my FOV which has been a problem for me.
Now, for the thing that bugs me:
Every track I have tried, even the couple I wasn't familiar with, I was able to match or exceed the 2010 season real life Q time, even though my laps were far less than stellar (I am still getting used to the peculiar steering and FOV in this game).
That seems preposterous to me. Even accounting for all the usual things like not having to pay for the car, being fearless and so forth, I should be at least 4 or 5 seconds off the pace.
Then out of curiosity I went to check the leader boards and I found even more absurd things there. For instance, it appears there are drivers out there not only breaking lap times, but apparently the laws of physics too!
I downloaded somone's ghost car and the entrance to T1 was absolutely impossible. The rest I couldn't see because the guy was 15 seconds faster than me (and therefore that much faster than the RL guys).
But anotehr thing I saw that absolutely made me laugh was that in one of the track currently the first and second times on the LB are about 5 seconds apart. From #2 dopwnward, the spread is pretty even but then there is this guy on top that much faster than anyone else.
If that's not a bug or someone cheating I don't know what it, but at the very least they should have a script to catch these kind of things.
Anyway, moving on, I am having a problem with my brakes.
It seems to me that the brakes are too weak in some cases, but even more frustrating there seem to be a "fade" effect whereas if I only press lightly (I have a load cell) the car brakes quite well, but if I press more, then it's less effective. Needless to say, that is a bit of a pain. Anyone experiencing something similar?
