F1 2011

[steveaki13]

Does anyone know what advances they are hoping to make for this years game?

I hope the AI drivers make more mistakes in a race (especially in the wet).

Also more retirements Crashes and mechanical. On last years game no one hardly ever retired.

SC would also be good along with Laps to grid and formation laps.

Other than that I am not too worried about out of race issues.

[Allyc85]

I want..

Safety cars
Better in car controls like DRS, kers and brake balance adjustment
fully manual control in the pits so it dosnt control your speed at all
Fixes to the circuits like Chapel corner which is far too tight
And splitscreen which ive seen they are including this time :D

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I still love F1 2010 even though it has got a lot if undue stick.

I'd like to see:

Warm up laps
A.I fuel simulation more accurate
A.I pace more consistant. Why are they unbeatable at Spain and slow at Canada?
A.I that tries to overtake you
Much improved contract system. How can I win races for Lotus and Virgin yet Hispania are 'still yet to notice you'?????
Pirelli tyers that fall apart
More realistic tyre performance in the wet. Why can I drive slicks on a wet track?
More online statistics. Perhaps follow what Bungie have done with Halo and Bungie.net (average qualifying position, fastest laps etc)

A.I pace more consistant. Why are they unbeatable at Spain and slow at Canada?

Aaah, that explains it. I don't play this game very much at all, most of the time I pick it up and have just got the hang of the track in practice by the time I switch it off to do something else. I've got as far as Spain (yup, not very far at all) and have been tearing my hair out at how to get in a lap on the pace. I literally have no idea where I can make the gains that I need to be in a similar position to the other GPs.

The qualifying pace of the 'Legend' difficulty A.I at Spain is what it should be like at all the circuits. You really need to get a perfect lap to get pole. But the A.I race pace just doesn't make any sense. A 1.22.5 will usually get you pole on the most difficult setting, but at the start of the race, with full fuel loads, the A.I are in the 1.21's! I'm struggling with my Ferrari in the 1.25's and even the HRT's are passing me. :mad:

At most other tracks I feel the A.I is too slow. You shouldn't be able to qualify over 2 seonds faster than your team mate on the hardest settings.

Want it now!!

First trailer is up!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

So, new things for F1 2011:

* DRS and KERS as they are in real life. (unlimited in practice/qualifying. DRS zone in the race)
* Pirelli tyres that change the race strategy
* mrchanical failures
* Improved physics.
* Improved media feedback in career mode
* Cinematics in career mode
* 16 player online racing, with new game modes
* Split-screen and team mate split-screen championship (a la Toca 2)

[steveaki13]

More damage and mistakes from AI if two AI cars come together they should crash not just wobble and carry on.

Is it just me or does F1 2011's handling look more arcadey compared to F1 2010? They could have made the handling easier for keyboard and controller guys. I dearly hope to be proven wrong when the game finally releases.

Here's a look at Nurburgring:

I would like to be able to win and use cars from previous seasons. After I had won the championship twice (once with Force India and a ridiculously easy season in Red Bull) I found it difficult to return to 2010 and play more. If Codies could come up with some tangible rewards in the game I think many people would find it more addictive (similar to Dirt 3 where you can actually unlock cars if you perform to a high standard).

Lucky guy. I have to wait until I'm out of work.

Looks great, roll on tomorrow!

[Allyc85]

Well ive only done a bit of time trial around India and Korea but the handling is so much better than before! You can hold slides properly and the cars feel so much more agile and change direction better!

I just need to find a better layout for the controls as DRS, KERS and gear changes are a bit of a handful at the moment!

[MrJan]

You can set the racing line indicator for the full track, or my personal favourite of off.

Played for a couple of hours and to me it seems easier to play, mainly because I've been a girl and have the traction control on :p : Took a while to get used to the DRS and had to experiment with the buttons a bit. Finally settled on using L1 for KERS (because you have to hold it down) and triangle for DRS (because it's a toggle thing). Agree that the graphics don't seem so good, but they're hardly rubbish. Also love the marbles that appear offline towards the end of a race, and the fact that getting on them means the car turns into a pig. And it's nice to see that the 'cutting corner' thing doesn't seem as vigilant, I got really pissed off in the last game for getting penalised by running wide in some places.

[Allyc85]

I love the way penalties for cutting corners is so random in this game. You can totally cut the first apex at valencia and turkey turn 9 by about 3 foot and get nothing, yet on some tracks like Turkey you can get a penalty for using all of the kerb!

Also the Ai is very weird, I caught some back markers at Silverstone coming down the hanger straight and 2 cars just spun in a straight line for no reason and at Valencia they run with the DRS open through the chicane between the two DRS zones!

Online is **** as you can barely get a game together and ive had objects in the crowd flashing and the marker post going into the last chicane at the ring brining my car to a complete stop...

So yea, not massively impressed now the new game syndrom has worn off tbh!
